Vincent kompany, former Belgian footballer who made a career at the Manchester City and that now directs the Anderlecht, has been through the podcast of Rio Ferdinand, Five, where he has confessed who is the toughest forward he has faced as a professional.
And he did not hesitate: Luis Suarez. “It was not normal what he did every time …”, recalled the Belgian, who later justified his choice, after having measured him on several occasions in the Premier, when the Uruguayan played in the Liverpool, and also in Champions with the Uruguayan in the Barça .
“Luis Suárez was not normal. With him it’s like a party within a party. He falls to the ground, simulates an injury, but if you argue with the referee you already have him behind. It was everywhere … “, he pointed out.
Then Kompany added, “If there’s a ball behind you, you’re looking left and he’s jumping right, you’re looking right and he’s jumping left. When you want to turn, it’s on the other sideor. I had my best and worst games against him because when I was at it, my style of play was to think about what I would play against him next. So if you don’t have a good day, it’s a problem. You must be on top, “he added.
