6:34 am
political reform. i toggled the to understand how local football has been an agent could change. that's what makes a great leader on and off the pitch. i sat down to vincent company, barely thought because the new manager. okay, scroll forward. now you should always vakio a former belgium international player and premier league legit. company cats, in manchester, 68 seasons during the most successful time clock history. we talked about family identity and how to make an impact on society. and i don't call myself an activity, but we have opinions. we see if we can help where we can. and that lives in from ah, thank you so much for agreeing to speak to me today. you've been the captain of a very successful club. i'm moving into
6:35 am
a management position. i wanted to know when you think about yourself in terms of elidah, what do you think the biggest shift is for you? as a captain? i think your biggest role is to not have a look at emerge if they're having a bad day and you know, raising the standards and helping them as a manager. it's seeing the bigger picture. you has to have optional believe in and what you do. and it's like, you know, the world can be seen in different ways, but for a period of time. or you see where you believe in it. and you're working with a lot of young players and there's a lot of focus on them. for example, in the u. k, in england we saw in the euro's off the final it was very unfair, the way that many of those plaza treated. what do you think is important to instill into the young men that you're working with? you know, there's so much to do with the success, money, power influence and the visibility they have. yeah. i mean, i think it even in very different kinds of problems on the social aspect of you
6:36 am
know, racism and abuse and social media and whatever comes with it. and on the other side, you've got what players have to do themselves, the responsibility they have and how they have to conduct them. so i think in the end, you have to almost create this bubble too, as you work well, you know, you're going to have all these external forces that are going to put pressure on everything you do with your life. but you still need to protect your football and you still need to be yourself and to find a balance. and we've spoken specifically about football, but i'm interested to hear a bit more about the work the do off the pitch as well. what is it that you've been engaged in that you feel like very passionately about and that you care about? i don't, i think most of what i've done off the beach. i started when i was a player. so i feel passionate about, you know, be expressive, which is a charitable organization around sports football in brussels. 1200 kids. i'm proud
6:37 am
about that, that we influence every week, every day. you know, the homeless issue in, in great manchester and, you know, in england i'm probably in so many other countries and, you know, i try to come to contribute that. and so it's children's religious, which is an organization based around, you know, kids who, who's both parents and you know, i've done projects for them in congo in africa. i don't deserve any honest meadows for it, but it is something that can keep me awake at night. it's about using the platform as well. and that's why i ask you, you know, so that there's an opportunity to put a light on the issue. then if i, if i can add to this, i think the most important thing is you know, given access to opportunities, education and i really strongly believe in the and a come from brussels. so one day it's mentioned for terrorism one, the other day. it's mentioned for being a drug capsule of europe and, and actually some so much more it's, it's one of the biggest talent pools of europe. you need oppertunity and opportunities don't come that just because you say, hey, by the way,
6:38 am
we're going to open up, you know, football club. so we're going to open up schools. it's structural. it's how you affect leadership, how you affect them. anything to do if you know, decision making in society and to be at these tables interview. so you engage me on something that can go much further, but that's for me. crucial account. talk about anybody else without having those people at the table who wants to help you. so the same problems as they need to sort of, you know, so and primarily the education opportunities is what you feel that it's opening the door that sheds, you know, power in terms of you can see me and you were the face of these interview. but what's important for an organization where society is going is, who's making decision in the boardrooms. most of it starts in a pyramid, whether it's a pyramids, we've been governments with incorporations within industry is representation is
6:39 am
right, that the rest will follow. mean, if i know that there's a guy that and when there's a discussion about racism, sometimes you know, a simple thing that could be, you know, someone will shout something really stupid, whatever the color of the skin. you know, i think when this representation of the very top, it takes it a few notches down, like okay, it's going to get dealt with and people not going to get away with it. if they're trying, just shove it under the copper. i feel like it's dying. so about this stuff. it doesn't bring me to the next question, which is about your parents. do you feel like they helped instill those things that you're talking about, that kind of caring about equal opportunities and opening that door or did it come from somewhere else? my mother, she forced as you pass away. it was a long time ago, but my mother was a type of person that would get angry at me for earning a lot of money at 6 then don't worry if it comes to me. it's better than other
6:40 am
people's hands. but my dad is just been someone i had to fight his way all the way from congo as a political refugee that became the 1st black mayor in belgium. so we do have a little bit of an activist family, but you know, it's a different generation. different time, i don't call myself an activity, but we have opinions. we try and see if we can help where we can and that lives in the family. and when you think about football, a lot of it links back to community and identity and that could be around the club . it could be around a region, it could be around the nationality. and i wanted to know you how much do you think you are different identities, different shirts you worn heavily influenced the priorities that you've kind of expressed. i mean, there's a good saying for there's a say you're a product of your environment and, and it really is, i mean, but you got to understand processes, you grow up and you get on one side of the street, someone speaking dutch, and on the other side is 3, someone speaking friends, us and then you've got
6:41 am
a rabbit. ling, whatever language you on, spanish, italian is so diverse. so when, when you grew up in brussels, you feel like you're a part of the world much sooner than anywhere else. and then when you start traveling, like i went to germany, i went to, to england and it feels very natural. but also how much of that do you think comes from also being from the background that your firm, you know, having parents to have come from another country the, i guess secondary ration impact if you really look at it for, for its potential, you know, just having that diverse background it's, it's a wealth as you possess because you do start with a lot of disadvantages. and that was my story when i grew up, you know, from an area where we did start with a lot of disadvantages. but i never looked at my background as one who was for me was a, well, it was something that i possess that i felt one day on the p. p jealous from you
6:42 am
know, and from congo and i'm proud of it. and i'm from brussels and speak dutch and i speak french and, you know, i, i own a 100 percent. all of it. you also have manchester, great to manchester or the north of england. it's different to this out. right. how do you think that's impacted you and shaped? you know, what, look, what i like over here is in the know of people say, say it as it is and people own up to their mistakes. you know, and you can have an argument with someone in the next day, you know, you still part of the same team and you know, you move on and you work together to as an ex go and i try to do it as well. one, in my relationship with players. look, you know, i think it's better than you at the moment. this is what we need to do to get you to compete. in the beginning it's hard to take, but eventually they said, you know, at least you told me, at least you told me and,
6:43 am
and i wanted to know if there's anything you can think of in terms of influence, fear. anything that marked you when you were growing up, or even maybe later in terms of potentially books or stories about people or anecdotes. look, i think i grew up with almost like the grades of my father, you know, and being black. and it's, you know, it's, it's weird to say because my background is white and black. but you know, the color of my skin is dog. so i was, i was black. and then you know, you're looking for success stories. so you look at mama, dolly, you look at pele and before my generation, but you look at nelson mandela and you know, just people who have an impact, who can do it, and that's kind of your fuel. i don't think there was that many more than that, you know, just like the same 5 or 6 people for everyone that was like growing up and,
6:44 am
and i was your inspiration. nowhere near. you know, any of the guys that i will ever mention, but i'm just relentless and i just keep coming back. when you think about legacy and you're relentlessness, what are you relentlessly pushing for what you want to leave behind? i've seen such a difficult question to answer when i wake up every day i, i can't say that i know there's a big picture through the back concert. i wake up every day because you know, my legacy needs to be so know i wake up every day because i'm passionate about what i do. and i think legacy is created by you eventually being good at what you do and an inspiring office and you know, doing it in a way that empowers all this as well. and i don't know how, what the end goal is. but i know i'm not going to do it on my own,
6:45 am
and i know that because of my success, if i can be successful, i'm going to make sure that all this can grow as well and others can be. and you might have, if you will believe in, in a thing that you feel particularly religious or the thing just the way you described. i don't know, it made me just one this reimbursed can be straightforward and everything as simple but, but no, look, it's an an answer question for me. so but again, is distinct in a world where you've got to be black or white. you've got to be muslim jewish christian, you've got to be, you've got to be so many things. and then if you not black lives miles and new white lives, missouri and is she not visser? or, you know, sometimes you don't know and you try and figure things out. and that's fine. so i can stay now, jackie. i mean like you just feel like it. yeah, it just feels interesting because it, if i die, do i want to go to happen?
6:46 am
i'd rather go, yeah, yeah. okay. but if i die, do i want my children to believe in heaven? definitely make it easier for them make it better for them to i have the answers and know, i think, you know, i've seen of, i know a lot of very religious people and it's a conviction and it's, it's really spiritual. it's really something that, that, that lives a driving their life and, you know, i'm probably not on that level, but i respected 100 percent. thank you very much for speaking with me today. i appreciate that. i'm so glad we could have you on generation for both. there thanks . welcome. thank you for having me. oh, in algeria. oh, cool. has always been more than a game. a huge deal. i didn't have you did. i didn't feel about it. i deal with him a photo a time, which i did not get thought andrea. supporting the bar and it was shipped to
