Dias insists Manchester City's title-chasing spirit remains unchanged


In a key match of the second round of the 2025/26 Premier League season, Manchester City conceded two goals in the first half and then failed to find the net in the second half, ultimately losing 0-2 to Tottenham Hotspur. Dias stated after the game that the team must move on from this defeat and continue to work hard, insisting that the team's determination to win the championship remains unchanged.


In the 35th minute of the game, Richarlison broke into the penalty area and made a cross. Brennan Johnson seized the opportunity and scored with a low shot, helping Tottenham Hotspur to open the scoring with a 1-0 lead.


In the first half stoppage time, Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford made a mistake, Richarlison took the ball and tried to shoot, then Palinha pushed the ball into the goal, helping Tottenham Hotspur extend their lead to 2-0.


In the second half, the score remained unchanged and Manchester City eventually lost to Tottenham Hotspur 0-2.


Manchester City defender Dias said, "Tottenham Hotspur is a very threatening team. They performed very well after the start of the game. We failed to deal with the game in a better way and did not stick to our way of playing. The second goal was really unfortunate. This situation should not have happened. Although we tried to catch up, there are still many areas that need improvement."


“Not everything was perfect in the first round, and not everything is bad now, so we have to re-invest and keep working hard. The result of this game is frustrating. We hoped to get our first victory at home and in front of the fans, but this is football and we have to look forward.”


Dias added: "It actually shows our ambition and our desire to stay here and win more trophies. This is the mentality of the club and it has never changed."


"It's good to be dissatisfied and disappointed with the result. We don't want to see such a result. This is not the state of the club we play for. We must win. Victory is the only thing we are familiar with and the only thing that can make us feel at ease."


In addition, Dias continued, "The team has undergone a lot of changes, and now is the time for everyone to adapt. But if we want to win the Premier League, we must adapt to these changes as soon as possible."
