Ruben Dias has dismissed criticism aimed at Manchester City for their exuberant celebrations following a 3-0 victory over Liverpool. The team's captain voiced full support for Enzo Maresca, highlighting the special significance of triumphing at Anfield.
This encounter marked City's first match since the recent high-profile development regarding multiple financial rule breaches in the Premier League.
Amidst the external noise, Maresca's side clinched a confident win at Liverpool, scoring all three goals in the second half after the hosts were reduced to ten men.
Following the final whistle, City players and fans celebrated passionately, leading to discussions about whether their emotions were somewhat excessive.
Maresca had already brushed aside such criticism, a sentiment echoed by Dias.
He stated:
I fully support the coach's words.
A victory at Anfield is significant under any circumstances – whether at the start or the end of the season, we'll relish it just as fiercely.
Moreover, Dias made it clear that the team wouldn’t suppress their emotions based on outside opinions.
We will celebrate as we feel in that moment.
This simply reflects how much such a win means to us.
For Manchester City, the success at Anfield further confirms their strong start to the season.
