PREMIER - City unveils impressive Kompany and Silva statue
The European elimination undoubtedly hit Vincent Kompany particularly hard, but the trainer of RSC Anderlecht also received good news this week. His ex-club Manchester City, for example, presented a beautiful tribute for his playing career. The English champion unveiled a large statue of Kompany at the Etihad Stadium.
The sculpture is made of steel and is illuminated at night with special blue lamps. That makes for a very nice view. Kompany himself was already impressed. "I really didn't expect to be recognized in such a way by such a great club. The first time I saw the image I couldn't believe how big it was. But then I'm a big boy," he responded. the club channels. David Silva was also honored in the same way.
Although he has already left for a while, Kompany remains closely associated with his ex-club. "My wife is from Manchester, my children were born in Manchester and they go back to a place where they can see something that represents what their father has achieved. And that's something I can't describe."
We are thrilled to unveil permanent statues of Club legends @VincentKompany and @21LVA at the Etihad Stadium
