Manchester City legend, now in charge of Anderlecht, in despair after the Belgium derby against Club Brugge (2-2)
Vincent Kompany and the players of Anderlecht have allegedly been racially insulted during today's Belgium derby against Club Brugge. The coach himself, a former Manchester City defender and the club's legend, told Eleven Sports in his postmatch interview:
"I'm devastated", said Kompany, clearly affected:
"I'm going home routed anyway. We were called out for 'brown monkeys' and whatever else during the whole match. Those are things I have a hard time with. It's always okay to say something funny, but there are a lot of people here who have given a lot for this country. They just come here to play football. I don't want to end up in a conflict, but I just feel this way. I just want to go home. Rest and spend time with the people who are important to me."
However, his counterpart Philippe Clement said he had not heard any racist comments.
"But I want to be very clear: if someone said something like that, it is not what this club stands for. We also have a great diversity in our core and among our supporters, "concluded he.
