Bayern Munich manager, Vincent Kompany has sent a message to the people who said Bayern job was bigger than him.
The former Belgium International used his life’s story to remind his critics that achieving anything could be possible in life.
Speaking to the press after Bayern Munich’s 9-2 thrashing of Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League on Tuesday, Kompany reminded his critics that ordinarily he stood no chance of making it to the top as a player with his being a refugee from Congo.
“I’ll tell you something in a quick way just to prove a point,” Kompany said via Fabrizio Romano.
“I was born in Brussels, my dad was a refugee who came from Congo.
“What are my chances of even playing in the Premier League, winning something as a player, playing for the national team? The odds were 0.000 something. Now I’m a coach.
“Do you just stop believing in yourself and what you can achieve because of what other people say?
“The mentality is to keep going and in the end if you fail you fail, if you succeed you succeed. but you can always become better.
“Online you can always find stuff, so I really don’t take it personal.”
