VINCENT AIMING FOR DECADES IN ELITE KOMPANY

JUBILANT Manchester City skipper Vincent Kompany challenged his teammates to build on their first Premier League crown under Pep Guardiola and create a dynasty.

Kompany (above, celebrating after Saturday’s win against Spurs) admits the challenge now is to keep hold of the title and dominate English football for years to come.

“It’s the same feeling as the first time,” said the Belgian (below, after watching United’s defeat yesterday). “You can’t describe it. The first time you win it, you think you’ll win all of them. Then the first time you lose one, you think you’re never going to win another ever again.

“You just want to hold on to the feeling. It’s a difficult achievement and I’m proud of the team and everyone involved. You can’t take it for granted.

“I’ve never been able to retain a title and I want to see if this team has it in it to be even more successful. I want to see how we react now next season.

“I’m probably the first one to think about next season. I’d like to stay humble – this is not a dynasty, it’s one title. We’re all delighted, but there’s a lot more to do to unlock our full potential.

“This one differs in that we were consistent all season, played at the level we wanted and a few times won it before we nearly threw it away. I’ve seen many teams win it where they’ve been champions all season. It’s a first for me.”

Praising the impact made by Guardiola, Kompany said: “I think we share one thing – he’s been able to transfer to the team that hunger and desire to never be satisfied. We all believed in it.

“I’m sure there are differences to how we play today compared to Bayern and Barcelona – we survive and live by the strength of the team. One team was dominant in Germany and one had Messi, but we are nothing without the team.”
