Kompany gives refreshing response to tricky Ronaldo question

The Manchester City defender knows how tough
it will be to face top-level players... and knows
exactly how to answer questions on the subject
In an era of media-training, it is nice to see top-
level footballers express their opinions with a bit
of humour... even if the content is still typically
sensible.
Like the rest of the world, Vincent Kompany
knows just how important it will be to stop
Cristiano Ronaldo when Manchester City host
Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final
on Tuesday.
Ahead of such occasions it is normal for players
to be asked about the virtues of the opposition's
star player, which is an invitation to offer up
some praise before insisting it is just as
important to focus on all of his team-mates.
Ronaldo, of course, is one of the best players in
the world, meaning the press conference script
is the same as ever.
