"Here Kompany can learn about leadership"

"Indeed, it is possible that big names leave us. But I know Anderlecht want good players to replace them".

As far as Kompany is concerned, Vercauteren says: "He still has much progress to make and, here in Anderlecht, he will surely receive much playtime."

"Here he can also learn how to become a leader. And also how to score goals, which he hardly ever does".

Vercauteren also commented on his function as the first coach, arguing that he has now to regard the training from a more general point of view. He also admits that he is happy with his three goalkeepers and argues that no one should leave Anderlecht at the end of the season.
