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".

Jermaine Jenas: Christian Eriksen will consider joining Liverpool in the summer

Former Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas is urging Christian Eriksen not to leave Spurs in hurry as the January transfer window draws closer.  Spurs chairman Daniel Levy will want to sell him to this January to realise some cash but Jenas feels it will be wise for him to stay until the end of the season.  Eriksen will be out of contract in the summer and will be free to join Europe's biggest club including Liverpool whose manager -Jurgen Klopp- is a huge admirer of the dane.   "I think the club were happy to let him leave but they just didn't get the figure that they wanted or Christian didn't get the club that he wanted", Jenas told The Mirror.  "If i was Eriksen and the bid didn't come in that i wanted to come in, i would sit tight, i wouldn't rush. Not only can i move for free in the summer, but that brings in Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, all the big hitters, Man Utd, even Liverpool.  "On top of that you have the huge windfall of w...

Liverpool 2-1 Crystal: Firmino is no average striker and 5 things we learnt

Another game, another victory, Liverpool have finally discovered how to grind out results even when playing way below average.  Palace were good to watch, they stopped Liverpool's swashbuckling football in the first 15 minutes of play and put them to the sword by scoring the first goal only for VAR {Video Assistant Referee} to choke it off.  The first half might have ended in stalemate but the second half saw Liverpool take the initiative through Sadio Mane whose snap shot evaded everyone and found the back of the net.  Wilfred Zaha did restore parity to keep Palace fans believing but in the dying minute, Firmino scored the winning goal to put Liverpool 2-1 up and eight points clear of Leicester City.  Here are the five things we learnt:  1. Van DIjk is a monster, he is a world class defender-  Where will Liverpool be without Van Dijk? Porbably in 7th place or most likely 10th. He won every aerial ball, tussled with Jordan Ayew and came out on ...

Chris Walder warns Liverpool: Sheffield United won't lose at Anfield

Chris Wilder has lauded praises on Liverpool and their iconic stadium 'Anfield' but warns, that his team aren't coming to Merseyside to lose like others.  Liverpool haven't lost a game in 52 matches neither have they lost a match at Anfield since April 2017. This season, they've won 17 games and drawn just once to Manchester United.. Powerful!  But, Sheffield United also boast a remarkable record. They've suffered just one away defeat to Manchester City which many believe was enabled by referee Chris Kavanagh.  Wilder believe Liverpool will be tough but his team can give them a fight.  "Going to Anfield, iconic stadium, fabulous experience, everything that Liverpool bring to the English game", Walder said during his press conference.  "They are the most powerful, historic of clubs in our game and going so well.  "But we'd like to put a little bump in their road, as we tried to do at Manchester City". 

Is Jurgen Klopp really better than Manchester City super coach Pep Guardiola?

J urgen Klopp metallic style of playing football have finally gotten the approval its craves from the world governing body -FIFA.  The German tactician used that Gegen pressing/long balls to win Liverpool their sixth Champions League along with the UEFA Super Cup against Chelsea.  And in the Premier League, Liverpool have lost just twice in 52 premier league matches and are still unbeaten at home since 2017.  Added to that Liverpool this season are the only team in Europe's top five division to win 6 of their opening six matches in a row.  No doubt Klopp is a fantastic manager but beating Pep Guardiola to the FIFA World Best Coach feels strange and questionable.  Why? Guardiola is the first and only manager to win the Premier League title with 100 points and 98 points respectively. Don't forget, Liverpool haven't won the league title in 30 years and have failed three consecutive times under Jurgen Klopp. Guardiola meanwhile has wrapped up the league tit...

From £90m to just £15m: Thomas Muller finally heading to Liverpool

According to Bild, Thomas Muller will join a Premier League team this summer after growing disillusioned with life on the bench. The 30-year-old is currently relegated to the bench and only used sparingly to give rest to the likes of Philippe Coutinho or Sergi Gnaby. Such demotion from Niko Kovac has hurt him deeply and now he wants to move to bigger and better club.  Jurgen Klopp is a huge fan of his German World Cup and once tried to convince him to join him at Liverpool back in 2017..  Klopp was ready to pay £90m to bring him to Anfield but, Muller felt Bayern Munich still loved him and were capable of winning both domestic and European trophies.  He was absolutely right with that assertion back in 2017 but today, Muller is back up player who can't even get into a team that contains the likes Sergi Gnabry, Philippe Coutinho, Kingsley Coman and others.  Fed up with having to watch others player while he sits on the bench, Muller has reportedly spoke...

Joel Matip: The Liverpool unsung hero setting the world on fire

What a player Joel Matip has turn out to be be. The former Schalke 04 defender has grown in stature and class and without doubt, one of the best defender in the world.  His partnership with Van Dijk have been sensational, both men have created the perfect platform for Liverpool to win 16 consecutive matches on the spin. Liverpool are yet to lose a game in their opening seven matches of the season and that success is completely down to Matip and his defensive partners who ensures they limit the number of goals going in while contributing upfront.  They're times this season when Van Dijk have really struggled to impose himself on the game but thanks to the presence of Matip whose tackles are timely; aerial prowess sensational and ball distribution phenomenal, Van Dijk have been left off the hook.  What makes Matip very special is that he is the only defender in the world who dribbles his way past players when surging forward.  Matip can dribble past 3 to ...

They also reckon that Heung-min Son is better option that Divock Origi if Klopp decides to bring a game change.  Both legends were asked by ESPN FC which Spurs star should Liverpool sign:  "I was thinking about Harry Kane", responded Steve Nicol. "Would i have Harry Kane or would i have Roberto Firmino? That's a tough question that isn't it. Given the choice, i'd rather have my centre-forward to be a goalscorer, so i would have to go with Kane. It's a tough one.  "Son would be fantastic to be able to.. listen, put it this way, no offence to Divock Origi but i would prefer to bring Son on that Divock Origi. I'm not a huge fan of Lucas Moura.  Echoing...

When we all thought the nerve wrenching clash between Manchester City vs Liverpool was over,  Raheem Sterling somehow found extra fuel to fight on.  Sterling reportedly clashed with Joe Gomez at the St George's Park Canteen and left Gomez with with scratch under his right eye after the tussle.  At first glance, the England players all thought Sterling was joking when he grabbed Gomez by the neck but after seeing how serious he was and the extent he was going to go with his punches they interceded and broke up the fight.  Embarrassed by Raheem's reaction, Gareth Southgate was forced to drop him for England's European qualifier against Montenegro on Thursday while requesting he issues an apology to the team especially Joe Gomez.  According to the Daily Mail, Jordan Henderson called both players on phone to broker a peace deal and later, he will join up the team and speak to both men..
