Manager elated at semi-final win against Aston Villa but keen to ensure players keep their eye on league form
Oliver Glasner is not the kind of manager who makes bold predictions, although it seems to be a different story behind the scenes. A few hours after Crystal Palace’s epic 3-0 victory over Aston Villa in the FA Cup semi-finals, a video of the Austrian’s post-match team talk was released on social media, where he had outlined his expectations of his players during a training camp in Marbella in March.
“I told you guys, this is because I know you guys and I know your talent, especially I know your character, that we can achieve outstanding things this year,” Glasner said. “I felt it, guys, that we are able to achieve, to write history for Crystal Palace. We fully deserve a place in the final, but it’s not the final.”
