12 - @21LVA joins @VincentKompany as the most decorated player in @ManCity history having now both won 12 trophies each at the club. Esteemed.

How has Kompany won one more? They were both here when we won our first in 35 years in 2011??

I think VK played in the 2018 Community Shield win and Silva didn’t.

Captain dave

Pep Guardiola: "He has to be himself. He has to be himself - he will have to think and make decisions for the team. It will not be a problem. Being a captain is easy when the locker room is full of nice guys, and he has that. The players love a lot and have fun!"

So what did Vinnie win that Merlin didn’t?

EDIT: just read @FromPollockToSilva's post.

Be sure to read the replies.

Seems a very sound person (the brief times I have gotten to talk to him in Manchester and Spain he was brilliant, as well) and probably the best player to ever wear our shirt.

Pep Guardiola on David Silva as a captain: "“He is a nice guy. A normal guy. He has a lot of experience. Every captain is different. They have to do what he believes. They chose the captain, I’m not involved in that.”

Pep Guardiola on the doubt surrounding David Silva when he arrive in England: "Me included. He's a technical player and my image of English football was that he might suffer, but I was very wrong."

PEP I admire (@21silva) a lot. Almost ten seasons here, doing that, incredible. Big congrats. All city fans support him - a privilege for what he has done in this club The last season, he can help us. Play the way we want to play and try and make him happy.

Pep Guardiola on David Silva being on the verge of 400 appearances: "I admire him a lot. Almost ten seasons here, doing that, is incredible. Big congratulations. All City fans support him - it's a privilege to have him after what he has done for this club."
