Manchester City centre-back Ruben Dias has warned his team that there is no need to overthink as his team have not achieved anything yet.

Dias, 26, is confident that Man City is capable of winning the treble. The Portuguese was certain that his team knew what they are going into as they will be playing two finals in the next 10 days.

“We definitely know what we’re going for and we really want it. But we know if we start to think too far ahead then it will kill us. We’ve not done anything yet. Little by little. It’s always good to be in a nervous mood,” Dias said.

“Having a bit of tension in these games is what makes you run more, makes you make a bigger effort and reach your best level. It’s good that all of us know how to manage it well…”

When asked about how he is feeling these days as the crucial part of the season is just about to start, the 26-year-old said that he is on “fire”.

“I’m on fire. I’m feeling good,” Dias added.

Dias also talked about how City’s head coach Pep Guardiola is very demanding. No matter how good they do, Pep would always ask for more and maybe this is a reason that they have been able to maintain such a high level for years.

“Although all of us have done great, the demand is always very high. It starts mainly from the manager. No matter what we do, individually or as a team, we’ll be asked for more and more. For us to be at the top this long is because everyone has it,” the 26-year-old said.

“The Emirates FA Cup is one of the biggest competitions. The moment you start losing that fire, that spice for winning trophies, then you’re not doing anything at this club. My passion is still there. We really want to win again…”

It must be noted that Man City have already won the Premier League and they will play the FA Cup final against Manchester United on June 3 at Wembley Stadium and then the UEFA Champions League final against Inter Milan on June 10 at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium, Istanbul.
