# Kompany Has a Plan For Costa

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has revealed he has a plan to handle Chelsea’s fierce striker, Diego Costa. Speaking to [Manchester Evening News](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-city-v-chelsea-kompany-9866564?), Kompany said: *“He (Costa) has an edge to his game that makes him a player to be careful with.”*

Costa was in the thick of the action throughout the game last season. Costa and Kompany endured a thrilling battle throughout the game in a duel of two ferocious players. Costa was also involved in the clash with Pablo Zabaleta, which saw the defender sent off.

Kompany went on to say: *“His record speaks for itself. It’s all you need to know about him. He finds these pockets and is incredibly efficient and deadly.”*

*“Sometimes don’t get involved too much. Play the right amount of game with him and focus on what you have to do after that.”*

The Manchester City captain likened Costa to the likes of Rooney and Luis Suarez. *“I think he’s a special breed of* striker*. (Wayne) Rooney has that edge, so does (Luis) Suarez.”*
