"Manchester City" captain Vincent Kompany praises the new "Manchester United" acquisition Romelu Lukaku. According to the defender, his teammate on the Belgian national team believes he is the best in the world.
Former Liverpool "Everton" striker transferred to the "Red Devils" ranks this summer for as much as 75 million pounds, but he began to justify this price in a friendly match against "Real Salt Lake" on Monday.
The 24-year-old player scored a goal at the beginning of the week, and last season in the Premier League he surpassed the opponents' goalkeepers a total of 25 times, falling behind only to Harry Kane in this regard.
"I want him to do well - except for a few matches in the upcoming season", - Kompany told ESPN. "As long as we are ahead of them, I will be happy with his success."
"One thing you get when you have Romelu is incredible commitment to improvement and scoring goals. This is something truly unique that I could observe over the years, as he was an 'Anderlecht' player, where there is the same youth system that I went through myself. I truly followed his progress."
"The main thing is that he believes he is the best footballer in the world. No matter where he is or isn't, it is with this mindset that he starts every training session, it is with this mindset that he plays in every match."
"If you think you are the best, you can never be satisfied with yourself, so you always work harder and harder, and that's exactly what he does. He is a special player, but there will be a lot of competition this season."
"Man United" finished only sixth in the English championship last season, but Kompany believes that the "Red Devils" will undoubtedly challenge for the title.
