Vincent Jean Mpoy Kompany is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as a centre back and captains the English club Manchester City. In the 2011–12 season he was awarded the captaincy of Manchester City, leading his club to win the Premier League that season, their first league title in 44 years. He is also chairman of Belgium D3B Division club BX Brussels.
“We know there is all kinds of provocation, it’s a way to hide your fear,” Miranda told reporters Thursday. “I think it’s a way of showing trust, and hiding fear. You have to prepare yourself, especially against the Brazil national team.
“A leader like Kompany has to show confidence to his team-mates, just as the more experienced players have to show confidence through our actions to our own team-mates.”
