Vincent ready to put the boot in again on old coach
VINCENT KOMPANY has joked that he used to foul Mikel Arteta in training at Manchester City if he "got too intense."
Arteta joined in the practice games at City, refereed by Brian Kidd, when he was Blues No.2 and Kompany believes it gave him the opportunity to "leave something on him"." Kompany faces Arteta today as rival managers when Burnley visit Arsenal and he says the Spaniard was always driven to succeed.
"He was still able to join in the sessions when I was there, so he was intense," said the Burnley manager. "But every now and then if he got too intense you could leave something on him in training.
He was passionate, driven, dedicated, intelligent. He had a big role behind the scenes as well for the club. I don't think any of us doubted he would be a good manager."
