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".

Pep Guardiola praises Liverpool duo Alexander Arnold and Andy Robertson

The 3 reasons why Manchester City might never win the Champions League under Guardiola

Winning the Champions League is difficult, a very difficult competition that only few clubs in Europe have managed to win in history.  Real Madrid might have made a mockery of how difficult it is by winning it 13 times of which 3 were won in quick succession. But over the years it has shown that achieving that fate involves more than just having Cristiano Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane.  It requires having a world class team alongside with a very good bench that can rival the best teams in Europe.  The team and manager must believe its possible to beat the best and be the best at all times. That self believe is what is lacking in Manchester City and hampering their progress in the Champions League.  Pep Guardiola might have won it 2 times with Barcelona but winning it again with Manchester City will be much harder.  Why? The fans don't believe, they're not as passionate as fans in Anfield who always give their players the aura of gods when they pla...
