Ruben days makes a strange excuse for the defeat of Man City in Nottingham Forest

Ruben Dias said that the city's land was too dry during Manchester City's defeat in Nottingham Forest.

The winner of Callum Hudson-odoi consigned City to a ninth defeat in the Premier League of the season during his current fight to qualify for the Champions League.

Dias insisted that the champions had controlled the game while admitting that the Pep Guardiola team did not move the ball fast enough, which put it to the state of the surface.

“With dry tone it makes things a bit more difficult,” Dias said. 'It was (the same) last season and also in Fulham. It also depends on everyone's weather and will to make the game fast. '

Kyle Walker celebrated similar complaints in last year's game, presenting a complaint to the party manager in the day, while there is no suggestion that Forest has done anything wrong.

Dias requested strong leaders in the city's locker room while they go to the last 10 games of the campaign.

Ruben days cited the dry launch of Nottingham Forest as the reason why Man City lost on Saturday

The defender explained that the launch conditions caused the ball to move more slowly along the ground

“I felt that the team was strong,” he added. 'Then all the little extras, not granting, which is better at certain times, trying to move the ball faster. All these details tell.

'Obviously, when you come from a circumstance in which you are used to winning and fighting for everything until the end, then it is not easy to take when things are (as they are) now.

'But it is our challenge and at this time fighting for the first four is our final of the Champions League, it is our victory of the Premier League for this season.

'Everything, from the competitive mentality, all to make sure that every detail is covered. That is the way you want without a doubt. This is how we have won before and how we have to fight.
