Then you should overwrite the default behavior of dispatcher. See the docs: https://docs.phalcon.io/en/latest/reference/dispatching.html

One solution is to create a base controller:

class BaseController extends \Phalcon\Mvc\Controller
{
    public function beforeExecuteRoute()
    {
        // Do your stuff here
    }
}

Other controllers will extend the base one:

class UserController extends BaseController
{
    // .... your code
}
