Kyle Walker picked Vincent Kompany when it came to the category of strength while building his perfect footballer.
The 33-year-old also opted for the retired David Silva’s “football IQ” as well during an interview with GOAL.
Kyle Walker also selected David Beckham’s right foot, John Arne Riise’s left foot and Kieron Dyer’s pace.
Kyle Walker suggests Vincent Kompany is the strongest player he played with
Of course, Vincent Kompany is widely recognised as Manchester City’s greatest-ever defender, spending 11 seasons during his time at the club, out of which he spent two seasons alongside Kyle Walker.
On several occasions, the Belgian played right next to the Englishman, especially when he was partnering Aymeric Laporte in the centre of defence during the 2018/2019 season.
It seems like Kyle Walker believes Vincent Kompany is the strongest player he played with, considering he instantly picked him out of any other teammate of his for both club and country when it came to the attribute of strength.
Considering the former Tottenham Hotspur right-back himself is considered as an absolute unit, Kompany would likely take his selection as a huge compliment.
Vincent Kompany used his strength to bully attackers
Kyle Walker has witnessed Vincent Kompany bullying attackers left, right and centre.
The four-time Premier League winner would often give strikers an aggressive barge early into games to let them know of his presence.
In this respect, the decorated defender had quite an orthodox approach to his game, despite being brilliant in possession and tactically intelligent.
However, Vincent Kompany was anything but reckless. Instead, Kompany merely used his intimidating physical stature to his benefit, pushing attackers out wide and towards angles where they were forced to strike or pass the ball with their weaker foot.
The legendary skipper’s blend of strength and intelligence made him a nuisance for any attacker to go up against.
