Man City's Taylor Harwood-Bellis reveals similarities between Vincent Kompany and Pep Guardiola

Manchester City loanee Taylor Harwood-Bellis has revealed the similarities he sees between Vincent Kompany and Pep Guardiola.

City legend Kompany had Harwood-Bellis on loan last season at Anderlecht and has reunited with the centre-back at Burnley this summer. In the Championship, Harwood-Bellis has managed to secure a starting place in Kompany's side.

In their opening three matches of the season against Huddersfield, Luton and Watford, Harwood-Bellis has played the full 90 minutes. The 20-year-old was recently asked about the similarities between his temporary manager and his parent club's boss.

He told the Burnley Express : "Yeah, there are similarities, although this manager has his own view, the way he wants to get it across to the players, different ideas and principles. But there are definitely some similarities.

"When he needs to, he’ll get involved and make it clear exactly what he wants from you. When he does, you take it on board.

"They have detail and information on everything. He has the principles that he puts in play, and it’s down to us then.

"He wants it to become second nature to us and he won’t have to tell us as much. The standard in training is really good, the demands we all have on each other. That’s massive and we hope to continue it through the season."
