For Granada, they are now in an awkward dilemma, they want to sign a strong defender but the transfer fee is already stretched, and if they can't bring in a big player at the back, it will not be beneficial for the defense at all, it will only be an extra replacement.

During this time, Martinez, Omers and Jiang Lizhang were looking for suitable candidates in football, but whenever they were brought out for discussion, they would be quickly overturned.

Just when the three of them couldn't make up their minds, Ji Qin suddenly thought of someone.

"I have a candidate here, do you think it's suitable?"

"Who?" Jiang Lizhang looked at Ji Qin, after all, this request was put forward by Ji Qin and Ibrahimovich, so Jiang Lizhang thought that they should have thought of a suitable candidate.

"Vincent Kompany!"

Hearing this name, Martinez was stunned at first, and was the first to react: "Manchester City captain? ”

"Yes, it's Manchester City's Vincent Kompany!"

After receiving Ji Qin's affirmative reply, Jiang Lizhang shook his head and said: "Impossible, although Kompany is 33 years old, as the captain of Blue Moon, it is impossible for Manchester City to let go!" ”

Hearing Jiang Lizhang's negative answer, Ji Qin smiled and said, "What if the players themselves want to leave the team?" ”

"What?" Jiang Lizhang and the three looked at Ji Qin at the same time, although Kompany has been plagued by injuries in recent years, and Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola has spent a lot of money to introduce a number of defenders after taking office, resulting in Kompany's position is difficult to protect, and there were rumors that Kompany will transfer away, but they were all denied by Manchester City or Kompany, but Ji Qin's words mean that Kompany is leaving Manchester City.

As if remembering something, Omers quickly opened the laptop in front of him and crackled until he saw the information he wanted to know.

"Sure enough! Kompany's contract expires this summer and he has yet to renew his contract with Manchester City! ”

Hearing this news, Jiang Lizhang and Martinez were both excited, and hurriedly said: "So, it is possible for us to take Kompany without a visa?" ”

Ji Qin shook his head: "This may only be known after contacting the player himself!" ”

In fact, Kompany returned to the Belgian league on a free transfer this summer, playing for Anderlecht as Anderlecht's coach and player.

Kompany, 33, was once City's defensive leader. He joined Manchester City in 2008 and then spent eleven years there before leaving as a free agent this summer. During his time at Manchester City, Vincent Kompany helped the team to four Premier League titles, the only four in the club's history.

Eleven years at Manchester City were the best of Kompany's career.

Here, he helped rise from Manchester City to Manchester United. It was here that he became one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League and Europe.

Kompany's composure has given City the quality of a strong team, and he, like the likes of Ramospique, is the best illustration of the concept of "the cornerstone of the team's defence".

Like Vincent Kompany, City were at a historic turning point.

Thaksin, the owner from Thailand, helped Manchester City gain a foothold in the Premier League, and the introduction of a large number of quality players was in a rare upward stage under the leadership of coach Eriksen. But in February 2008, Thaksin's domestic accounts were frozen, and the former Thai prime minister, who was worth nearly a billion pounds, could not even pay the wages of the Manchester City players.

In desperation, Thaksin had no choice but to sell the Manchester City club, and it was the famous Abu Dhabi consortium that took over Manchester City.

Kompany at his peak was arguably the most perfect centre-back!

He doesn't talk much on the pitch but is aggressive, and his calm judgment and precise tackling make him the most feared defender of the strikers. Kompany has a dominant level of strength in one-on-one competitions, especially in the scramble for high balls, and few strikers can grab the first landing point under Kompany's pressure.

In the past 11 years, Manchester City have bought defenders such as Demichelis, Mangala, Otamendi and John Stones, but it has proved that the most reassuring player in the Blues is the healthy Kompany.

Kompany's consistency is not only evident in the defensive end, but also in his offensive end. Kompany's ability to play the ball is one of the best among centre-backs, not only can he get the ball to the midfielders with a steady short pass, but he can also change the tempo of the team with a precise long ball – a weapon that he has rarely used at club level in recent years. At key moments, Kompany can also help his team win with goals.

Against Leicester City last season, it was Vincent Kompany's long-range strike that sealed the Premier League title. It was also this world wave that kicked Liverpool's first Premier League title away!

In the Belgian national team, Vincent Kompany is an indispensable figure.

The main ethnic groups of Belgium are the Dutch-speaking Flemish and French-speaking Wallonians, and the historical contradictions between the two ethnic groups have also affected the internal unity of the Belgian national team.

Kompany, a descendant of immigrants from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is the glue that binds the Belgian national team, and in order to keep the national team's dressing room united, he not only builds good relations with players from both nationalities, but even tweets in Dutch and French, which can be said to take the responsibility of a national team captain to the limit.

It is precisely because of such a responsible captain as Kompany that the Belgian national team, which has been in turmoil for several years, has been able to return to the top ranks in recent years. Since Vincent Kompany captained the team, the Belgian national team has not only returned to the World Cup in 2014, but also achieved good results at Euro 2016 and the World Cup 2018.

Many Belgian players are very fond of this big brother, and De Bruyne once said that it was Kompany who brought him to adapt to the environment of the club and the national team, and he will not forget the help Kompany helped him!

Leaving the Premier League at the age of 33 is a bit of a shame for a top centre-back. Had it not been for the frequent injuries that plagued him, Kompany could have continued his career in the top flight.

Of course, even so, Kompany came to Granada as a defensive leader more than enough!!

So Jiang Lizhang did not hesitate, and directly took the club's chief scout Omers and flew to Manchester City to contact Kompany in person to discuss the transfer to Granada!

Kompany suffered injuries at the end of his career and even missed his farewell game due to injury. Knowing that Kompany has the characteristics of glass attributes, Jiang Lizhang also specially promised Kompany the position of coach of Granada, promising to sign up for coaching training courses for him, obtain UEFA professional qualifications for him, and even let him serve as an assistant coach to assist Martinez with Espinola in the league!
