In this new and exclusive interview, Vincent Kompany talks football, shared value and the social issues he really cares about. In a wide-ranging conversation with Matthew Taylor, Kompany describes how and why football has changed in recent years, and reveals that, for him, giving back is just as much of a priority as his sporting career. Kompany believes it’s vitally important to balance corporate interests with those of the fans, keeping football fair and accessible to everyone. Anyone who says 'it's just football' is failing to see the bigger picture – football is part of something much more meaningful; it’s a movement.
