Rúben Dias is a born leader on the football pitch. His mantra for life, ‘live by who you are, and who you are will show you the way’, has led the Portuguese footballer from humble beginnings in the Lisbon suburbs playing soccer with friends to excellence in UK’s Premier League. Citing simplicity, love and respect as the qualities he lives by, Dias’ loyalty to family and friends is clear: his father is his ultimate hero. But it’s his talent and an unerring, stubborn commitment to training, working and leading his team that has put him at the top of his game.

00:01Football is my life.
00:02Football is my passion.
00:03Football is my talent.
00:04Football is the one thing I decided to dedicate my life to.
00:09I'm from Amadora, a very special place.
00:14It was the place where I started playing football.
00:16It was the place where I first knew life.
00:21I have many memories and most definitely those memories shaped myself.
00:29My parents, my brother, we never really stopped believing in things.
00:34And I think that was very important for me to dream high, dream big.
00:37I felt like it was possible.
00:42You build yourself with time.
00:44You build yourself within your abilities, the ones you know you have, the ones you know you lack.
00:49Willpower resumes everything.
00:51The will you have to achieve something, to become something, to win something, to write your own legacy.
00:58Even after winning so much, now more than ever, it's when it's most difficult.
01:03Because you've won a lot.
01:04You've won everything.
01:05And still, how much do you want to keep moving forward?
01:08How much of a legacy do you really want to have?
01:11To me, Lamborghini represents willpower.
01:16It represents quality.
01:17It represents innovation.
01:18It represents strength.
01:21Something that didn't stop when someone told them to.
01:26It was probably my number one dream car since all time.
01:30And I think the Revuelta represents the new generation.
01:34It's exciting, the way it drives.
01:36It's a beautiful car.
01:37It represents the quality which I try and bring onto the pitch as well, as my own self.
01:44The one thing I most want to win out of all of them, is to know that when I finish my career, I never stop for a second.
01:53It must stay alive.
01:54It must stay alive.
01:55The value of the life.
01:56It must stay alive.
01:57It must stay alive.
01:58And I know it's too much.
01:59And I never think we've ever gotten a significant list of them.
02:00That's what we've made.
02:01It's been a big part of the game.
02:02It's a big part of the game.
02:03It's kind of a big part of the game.
02:04And I'm a big part of the game.
02:05And I think we've got nothing to do with the players.
02:06And we're going to have to let them talk to you.
