Vincent Kompany testimonial

VincentKompany: "I became a Manc. All of these core values I had before I was a Manc, so when I signed, I transported them through the years. By the end, I think there is a strong identity of Manchester that remains in someone who never came from Manchester.

"If someone gets a knock on the pitch, you just get up, get on with it. You're in Manchester. It doesn't matter whether you are a beautiful, £100m player, because you're in Manchester you're going to get up, and get on with it..."

"That's the side of Manchester I tried to keep, and the group was shaped like this because of myself and others. Carla and her family are blues. I got myself in a place where it always meant a lot for me, more than at anywhere else."

VincentKompany on 93:20: "Typical City fashion would have been to lose the game and blow it. That's what typical City meant in those days. Now typical City is defined by the Kun Aguero moment, you don't give up, you come back and win games..."

"Was my goal against Leicester more important? His goal was more important! Mine looked better, which I never thought I'd have on him! But his was crucial. He did his best to wait until that time, because he had the worst 93 minutes of his career...""...I would have had a word to say about this after the game if he didn't' score, but that's the beauty of his job! One second can always turn it around."

VincentKompany on THAT goal vs @LCFC: "I'm not an emotional guy. It was borderline emotional when I scored, probably because everyone jumped on me and you couldn't see me. I thought: 'What if this is the goal, the clean sheet we keep, that gives us the title..."

"The game finished 1-0, the kids came on the pitch, technically my last game for the club at home, and I already knew [I was leaving]. It was very emotional for that reason. It's a time I'll never forget, City fans will never forget..."

"Not disclosing it felt right. It wasn't about me, it was about winning what we needed. There is always time for goodbyes. It was hard to keep the emotion in. I'm looking around and see this iconic stadium. I see 57,000 people I'm grateful towards...""...Next to me my team-mates - I have a few players like Aguero and David Silva, who I went through everything with, thinking: 'We're still standing and doing this together!' It was a night of emotions..."

"That's why I will always remain very humble in my life because I think these kind of things only happen because you stay humble, driven and focused. Eventually, somebody says: 'Here you go, you get your reward.'" [via @SkySportsNews]
 
I thought Kompany dropped a bollock by not having 'non-attendance' tickets to boost the funds at £10 or £15 a pop.

Turns out with it all being fucked up that quite a few might have inadvertantly been sold....
