Burnley boss Kompany: I'm passionate about these players

Burnley boss Vincent Kompany admits it's been a tough week.

Burnley meet Bournemouth on the back of a 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace.

Kompany said: "The aftermath of losing a game of that importance [3-0 against Crystal Palace], 24 hours is not a good 24 hours, and then you go back to work and looking at what the next game can offer.

"[Solving problems] is part of what I like. Injecting belief and giving the players something to help them is something I'm passionate about. It's not easy but I was warned a long time before I made the decision to become a coach that this is part of the job.

"It's not about being in a difficult situation or not. It's easier when you have belief yourself and I have that."
