Vincent Kompany – The ultimate defender (Video)

Manchester City do not only boast one of the most impressive supply of attacking players in Europe, but they’re also blessed with, in my opinion, the best centre back in world football.

With exquisite positional intelligence, a cuteness on the ball in which allows him to play the ball from the back like he was a natural centre midfielder, and a presence that looms over the most powerful and gigantic figures that the Premier League has to offer.

Vincent Kompany stepped foot in England’s top division in 2008, when Manchester City signed the Belgian international on a four year deal for an estimated £6m; an absolute snip for a player who is now their captain.

A born leader who demands your respect, a natural commander who makes his inch-perfect challenges look remarkably easy, and strength so immense that just the sight of his unnerving physique makes opposing attackers turn away from goal and pass responsibility elsewhere.

Vincent Kompany is a giant, both in body and in influence toward his team mates. His recent six year contract means we can continue to enjoy him bossing the Premier League for some time yet.
