The greatest thing about Kompany -outside the fact that he's a great soccer player- is that he's a very humble and modest person. He stays with his both feet on the ground and always sees the bigger picture and he doesn't take anything for granted.
This is one of the most important things he learnt when we was little, because when he was a little boy he lived in poverty.
When he was 8 years old he was discovered by RSC Anderlecht, where his soccer career began.
When he was 17 he played his first game in the Jupiler Pro League (the Belgian soccer league).
The same year he was nominated for 'Young soccer player of the year' in the Jupiler Pro League.
When he was 20 he went to Hamburger SV for 10,5 million euros.
2 years later he had to go to another team( because he had been injured a lot, hence his nickname 'the man of glass') and he went to Manchester City for 7-8 million euros. And he has been playing there ever since.
While playing for Manchester City he won some prices like a few nominations in the 'PFA Team of the Year' and chosen to be the best player of the year for Manchester City.
These prices only confirm that Vince the Prince is one of the top defenders in the world.
But not only for teams as Manchester City, but also for the Red Devils he's very important!
He played his first game for the Belgian squad also when he was 17 years old. And has been one of the most talented and most valued players of our Belgian squad ever since.
