Vincent Kompany’s illness is about more than just himself.
It’s part of trend across sports and wider society in how we view Black bodies.
Some thoughts 👇
Vincent Kompany was discharged from hospital on Wednesday, five days after the Bayern Munich head coach collapsed at the club’s training ground.
The 40-year-old Belgian took ill at the club’s Sabener Strasse headquarters on Friday, watching a session involving the club’s second team, having been suffering from viral infection over the previous week.

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Vincent Kompany reportedly dislocated his shoulder after collapsing at Bayern Munich's training ground.
Doctors have ruled out a heart attack and stroke but are still investigating the cause of his collapse, with seizures also reported.
The Bayern manager remains hospitalized and is expected to be sidelined for several weeks.

Exactly. These players have weaknesses. But those weaknesses are not THE weakness. There are priorities. Last season, THE weakness was Donnarumma. You would think we would fix it in the summer but no. Instead, we spent 125m introducing an even bigger one

We could’ve signed a 60m midfielder and a 60m RB. Much better use of funds. I’m increasingly convinced that recruitment is all there is. Players are the club and getting good players is all that matters in the end

This is the first time this season I’ve been genuinely angry.
The individual errors were awful. Guehi again and the myth that Donnarumma is a big game keeper has always been that.
But how do you watch the PSG game and conclude that Bouaddi-Anderson isn’t the solution for these games?
Anderson-Enzo is not a cohesive midfield. Every game they play together the midfield doesn’t exist. You either need to play Enzo advanced or not at all for Villa away because he’s going to be a liability in deeper midfield.
The fact it wasn’t addressed AT ALL staggered me and this feels like a missed opportunity.
