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.
