Kompany reveals why Manchester City star B. Silva is a special player and a leader

Image
Vincent Kompany has lauded special praises to his former Manchester City teammate and friend Bernando Silva. 

Kompany is highly convinced Silva is a special player who can become a City legend in no distant future. 

The 24-year-old has spent three season at City and has gone to win 7 trophies while making 79 appearances. Impressed with how far Silva has come, Kompany said in his new book 'Treble Triumph': I think everyone looks at Bernardo as a top player. 

"He's still so young, having turned 24 during this amazing season. I believe he's at the start of something every special for City.

"What makes him a special player, and not just a gifted player, is he's such a positive guy. It's very natural to him. I also call him a leader. I've told him that and he laughs at me when i say it". 

Explaining more on why he sees Bernando Silva as a leader, Kompany wrote: "There are so many different types of leadership. His natural ability to be positive all the time, and to influence the group by being like that, makes such a difference. 

"He'll come to training, or the dressing room, always ready for action. He trains at 100% and he does it with a smile. It's infectious. That's a very important quality to have as a leader". 

Kompany reportedly handpicked Bernando Silva to be his replacement but Pep Guardiola felt David Silva, Fernandinho and Sergio Aguero have spent 8 to 10 years at City and should be captain first before him. 

He added; "When he's on the pitch, he's one of the most talented players and yet he always works as hard, if not harder, than anyone else. That's another side of leadership. He might laugh at me but maybe that's the next step for him to realize what he needs to do to be in the highest category of leader one day".

Manchester City stars reacts to Pep Guardiola returning to Bayern Munich

Vincent Kompany, Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva have all tagged reports linking Pep Guardiola to Bayern Munich as 'bulls**t'. Guardiola did manage Bayern Munich for three seasons and won 8 trophies before joining Manchester City back in 206. He left as a fulfilled man having joined Germany's biggest club, revolutionized their playing style and made them a force to reckon with.  Having achieved everything he wanted to at Bayern Munich, Guardiola took the next step in his managerial career by signing a contract with Manchester City.   His first season in the Premier League was difficult, City finished trophy-less but still managed to finish in the top four.  Surprisingly, he was nicknamed 'Fraudiola' by jealous fans who felt his style of play can never be implemented in the fast and furious Premier League.  But rather than run for cover, Guardiola was bold and courageous, he knew his style of play can be implemented in any league and still su...

Injury blow: Pep Guardiola confirms Ederson will miss Liverpool clash

Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Ederson will miss the trip to Anfield due to any injury..  He will be replaced by Claudio Bravo who he says is a good keeper and a two times Copa America winner with Chile.  Asked during his press conference if Ederson will be fit for the clash, Guardiola said: "He is not able to play tomorrow.  "On Sunday he cannot play. We have another top keeper. We won the Carabao Cup and FA Cup thanks to Claudio. He is an exceptional goalkeeper".  Asked if Manchester City are not vulnerable without Ederson deputizing in-between the sticks, Klopp replied angrily.  "Why should i not be confident about my players and my team? Why do you like ask me this questions? "I see him every day in training. We won't lose from Claudio. You have to respect him. He won the Copa America, respect that guy, he's an incredible goalkeeper". 

Ballon d'Or is bullshit: Messi shouldn't have won it ahead of Van Dijk and Ronaldo

Another year, another catastrophic decision made by the Ballon d'Or organisers who gave the once prestigious trophy to a player who don't deserve to win it.  Its really embarrassing to know that Lionel Messi won the award ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo and Virgil van Dijk who both outperformed him with both club and country.  Cristiano Ronaldo was arguably the best of trio having won trophies with both club and country. The 34-year-old captained Portugal to the inaugural Nation's League against Holland and lifted two domestic trophies with Juventus.  Added to that, the Seria A Player needs just 6 goals to become the highest goalscorer in International football and yet, Lionel Messi who only lifted the La Liga title with Barcelona beat him to the Ballon d'or? It doesn't make sense..  No disrespect to Messi he is an incredible player, he scored 46 goals with 17 assists in a season that saw Barcelona heavily rely on him for inspiration and goals.  He single-...

Former Liverpool striker Emile Heskey has called on Jurgen Klopp to sign England's exciting winger Jadon Sancho.  The 19-year-old has lit up the Bundesliga with his goals, assists and penetrating runs which Hesky feels will be useful addition to Liverpool.  Jurgen Klopp though has made it clear during the summer, he will only sign players who can improve his team and at the moment, there's none available.

Riyad Mahrez threatens to leave: I don't enjoy sitting on Manchester City bench

Riyad Mahrez has admitted he is disappointed with spending more time on the bench rather than on the pitch.  The 28-year-old joined City in a then club-record fee of $60m from Leicester City in the summer of 2018 but have found competition for places much tougher than expected.  He is forced to compete with Portuguese superstar Bernando Silva and Germany's wonder-kid Leroy Sane.  Last season, Mahrez managed 27 appearances of which 13 of those games were from the bench.   This season, he has started just five games out of 12 and against Liverpool, he was an unused substitute.  Asked about his time at City, Mahrez said: "At the end of the season, i spent several matches  on the  bench", he told the Mirror.  "Mentally, it was difficult to live with. But in training , i put everything into it because i still had this aim with Algeria. I said to myself: 'Go for it, at one-moment Pep {Guardiola} will nee...

10 years without a trophy! Its time Harry Kane ditch Tottenham Hotspur

Last season was memorable, Tottenham Hotspur were very close to lifting their first ever Champions League trophy. If they had won it, Spurs would've been the dream club of every elite player.  Superstars all over the world would've joined at the opportunity to play for them while the likes of Christian Eriksen, Vertonghen, Ross and others won't hesitate to extend their contract. But the defeat to Liverpool was sour and the bitter taste have lingered on till this very day.  Spurs have dropped to a level of mediocrity never seen before and questions are beginning to be asked about the manager's commitment to the club's course as well as players.  The top players are running down their contract with the view of moving else where there's a realistic chance of winning trophies.  That idea of leaving has gobsmacked Harry Kane who now knows he might never win a single trophy with Spurs despite having Mauricio Pochettino as his manager.  Why? Tott...
