Kompany: "Sour farewell at Anderlecht? No way!"

INTERVIEWS VTM headed to England for an interview with Vincent Kompany about the Red Devils and his experiences at Burnley. His period at Anderlecht also came up for a moment. "I still think it was two successful years. I think I am somewhat alone with that conclusion," Kompany told me.


To the question if Kompany found the joy of soccer at Burnley after his "rather sour" farewell at Anderlecht, Kompany replied with a smile and full of conviction, "No way sour farewell, no way. Being sour I leave to the others. It was absolutely not a sour farewell."

"I had wonderful times at Anderlecht. Sorry. I know there are people who like to see an embittered person and then they get a little happier from that, but that's not with me. I got to work for the club where I started playing soccer when I was six years old. I've been with Anderlecht for seventeen years. So nothing bitter, no. On the contrary."

"I do continue to walk a path that I super enjoy. What I do, I super enjoy doing. I keep saying it: in my analysis, we were very successful in those two years at Anderlecht, especially given the resources we were able to invest and the quality of the group. I was a bit alone in that view, but it remains my conclusion."
