Livestream On January 27, Vincent Kompany has an important place in The History of Manchester City, leaving many classic moments for the Blue Moon. Recently, The Manchester City official website interviewed two former club players, Paul Dikov and Nedam Onoha, and let the two talk about what they thought was the most iconic moment of Kompany's time at Manchester City.
Both stars mentioned two key goals from Kompany in their answers, a header against Manchester United in 2012 and a goal against Leicester City in 2018-2019. The former helped City take the initiative in the title race with only two rounds left in the league, while the latter helped City beat their opponents and lay the groundwork for beating Brighton in the final round to win the league title.
Dikov replied:
"I think there are a lot of classic moments, maybe the first time you lift a Premier League trophy, maybe it's 100 percent of it. And then there's the goal he scored against Leicester City, and of course his last goal for Manchester City, which was special. ”
"His emotions at that time can tell you how important that moment was for him and of course he knew he was going to leave the team at the end of that season. That was probably his best moment, and the most emotional moment of his Manchester City career. ”
Onoha's answer also mentioned Kompani's dead end against Leicester City:
'I'll also pick the goal he scored against Leicester City, but also the winning goal he scored against Manchester United, which has always been a fond memory of us.
"But I think the two are more representative than goals against Leicester City, especially since everyone was telling him not to shoot at that time! I remember the game being brought into the rhythm of Leicester City at that time, so it was really remarkable for him to score a goal at that moment as captain. ”
'When he first joined the club, he was a defensive midfielder and when he left the club he was already a centre-back in the history of the team, so I would have chosen that goal as his most iconic moment at Manchester City.
