Tonight at 22:00 CET (Beijing time), Man City will host Coventry in their third Premier League match. Ahead of the fixture, Ruben Dias stated in an interview with the club's official media that Man City under Maresca shares many similarities with the Guardiola era, with only minor differences in the details.

What do you think about the start to the new season?

"Very positive. Clearly many things have changed, but ultimately, not that much. The team has new energy, and we feel good. Enzo has his own ideas about how to play, both attacking and defending."

"Overall, it's still the style of play we're accustomed to, just with some tactical adjustments at different stages. I think everyone is very much on board with this approach. We control the ball a lot, which has always been our main characteristic, and I think from that perspective, it's a continuation, even though we're not exactly the same."

Man City went through significant squad changes during the summer transfer window, so this season's lineup is quite different.

"That's part of our environment; new players are constantly coming and going. Perhaps this summer saw the most departures; looking back over the past three years, there have been many changes—it's just a cycle."

"Each new player who arrives has their reasons, and we had our reasons too when we joined: to win and reach the top. We must give our all, which is very exciting, and it's great to be part of it again."

You've always been one of Man City's leaders, and now you're also one of the longest-serving players at the club.

"You have to enjoy it while you can, because it's the greatest thing in the world. It's accumulated experience from going through so much and winning so much with everyone. It means you know what it takes to win, and you know the kind of consistency you need to maintain every day."

"It's about ambition—how much you want to win and how much you're willing to sacrifice for it, your discipline, understanding the manager's message, doing everything you can to do what we need to do, and recognizing what helps you win."

"When you do these things, people really become one. Beyond experience, these simple qualities also make you a winner, which makes me feel good because I'm very aware of how fast time flies in football—it goes by so quickly. I'm at a stage now where I cherish and enjoy every moment on the pitch, playing at this level of football."

"I'm acutely aware of how special this is, so whenever I play, I bring that feeling onto the pitch. My career is in a good place, I'm enjoying football, I'm savoring every moment, and I'm taking it all in."

"During the preseason, I felt we were building something. Not everyone was there, so we could only train as a team as much as possible to get everyone on the same page. The Community Shield was tough for us; we were facing one of our main rivals at that moment."

"That match was difficult, but at the same time, we weren't scared. We stuck to our approach, continued to believe in what we're doing, and that even helped us gain experience at that point. Obviously, it was a tough moment, we didn't like it, it was very difficult, and it was frustrating, but we had to keep working."

"Then we started the Premier League, the first match was very challenging, but afterwards, I reviewed it and felt that we were really out there and played quite well. Some things could certainly be better, but I think we're strong and very dangerous."

"Perhaps the second match was a continuation of how we felt after the first, but I think what we're building is solid and it's progressing steadily, bit by bit. I trust strongly in what we're doing, and we have quality players around us. As long as we have the right mentality and good form, anything is possible."
