During the first season, Vincent Kompany, who returned the Burnley team to the Premier League, raised his stakes as needed.
This is understood by the Burnley club, which hastened to extend the contract with the 37-year-old specialist.
Clarets owner Alan Pace, speaking with BBC Sports, compared his club's coach to the most beautiful girl in town.
"It's like having a relationship with the prettiest girl in town. You know, practically zero chances that she will choose you.
Everyone else also wants to marry her. So the question arises, how long can you be friends, how long can you stay together. I hope for a long time, but it will be her decision," - the Burnley owner adapted the metaphor.
A. Pace said that this is exactly the situation he painted for Vincent Kompany himself.
