Man City defender Harwood-Bellis heaps praise on Burnley boss Kompany

Manchester City defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis has heaped praise on Burnley manager Vincent Komoany.

The youngster helped Burnley to promotion while on-loan last season.

"I feel like it's the most I have improved as a player on and off the pitch," he said while away with England U21s. "The detail the manager has put in is incredible.

"It's helped me massively playing for England. It's helped me adapt to playing with players and helping others to what they're good at."

Harwood-Bellis added: "I think it was an advantage in terms of knowing how he wants to play, but only that because if I'm not up to it then I'm not going to play - it's as simple as that.

"He wants the best team and the people that are on form doing exactly what he wants are going to play and I know that which is why I've got to come in here every day and be the best I can be.

There are no days off with him and if he sees you slacking off he'll notice it within 10 minutes, he's like that, but it's good for everybody to be like that and you've got to be at your best every day."
