Burnley star Jacob Bruun Larsen has revealed the major changes that have happened at the club in recent months, leading them to a late surge for Premier League safety.
The forward has been speaking to Transfermarkt in Germany about his loan spell with Burnley this season and how changes behind the scenes have kept their Premier League dream alive.
Vincent Kompany’s side currently sit 19th in the table with 24 points, a tally that puts them just two points from safety with three games left to play.
They’ve endured something of a difficult campaign after dominating the Championship under the Belgian manager last season.
His preferred style of playing has led to problems for them this season, with numerous individual errors, particularly at the back, putting them in their current position.
There have been changes in recent months, though, and a recent run of good form, with just one defeat in five and big points gained against the likes of Manchester United, Brighton, Wolves and even Chelsea and West Ham before that, giving them hope of staying up at the death.
Larsen has now detailed those changes, indicating there’s been something of an overhaul behind the scenes to encourage the change seen on the pitch.
“In relation to me, the most important fact is that I am injury-free for the first time in my career and can finally use my performance and potential,” he said.
“Since the winter break, the coaching team and every single player have been working even harder towards the common goal of staying in the league.
“If you look at our games, you can see that a lot has grown together over the past few months. We act more consistently, we have a better mentality and, above all, our belief in wanting to stay in the league is unbroken.
“In general, we have very good conditions in Burnley and that is currently also reflected in the whole team.”
