Glasner: Crystal Palace are also practicing throw-ins; only gave Arsenal 2 open-play shots

Hupu reported on October 29 that Crystal Palace head coach Glasner attended the pre-match press conference against Liverpool in the League Cup.

This is your third game in seven days. How is the physical condition of the players?

Well, to be honest, we only have one problem: Chris Richards has a bit of a calf problem, so he will stay in London and not go to Liverpool tomorrow.

The other team members are all doing well and recovering well. I think the players also showed their form at the Emirates Stadium and can try to equalize before the final whistle, so things are looking positive.

It has been four games since Crystal Palace last played against Liverpool. How do you feel about the team's performance? What have you learned from competing since then?

It is true that we got one point, although it is not the best result, but I think our performance has not dropped compared to the previous game against Liverpool.

We reviewed the game against Arsenal. In more than 100 minutes at the Emirates Stadium, we gave them two shooting opportunities and two open shots.

Yes, they were better than us at set pieces and that's why they won the game, they could have scored two more goals after set pieces, but in open play our defense was very good and I think it was one of our best defensive performances.

Yes, on the other hand, we can see that it is not easy to create chances against Arsenal, we are not the first team to experience this, but the performance was not bad.

Again, against Bournemouth, a great Premier League game, even against Everton, I thought most of the game was very good, so now for us, don't be negatively affected by the result, we always focus on our performance, that's why we started the season and we didn't perform well.

So instead of hiding now, we are moving forward on our own path, and we believe in what we are doing. The players are a great group of guys so everything is on track.

With Richards absent tomorrow night, will Jedi still get a chance? How has he been doing since Thursday night?

Yes, Jedi will start, and Walter Benitez (goalkeeper) will also start, so these two players I can mention today are them.

Liverpool has lost the last four Premier League games. From the outside, how do you view their recent performance? Does that make it difficult for opponents to prepare because obviously they have some world-class players but right now they're not performing at the level that we're used to seeing?

Yes, their situation is a bit uncertain, so we don't know what lineup they will play against. They usually rotate heavily in the Carabao Cup and injury issues have left them a bit uncertain, but their style of play won't really change.

Of course we looked back at the previous games and of course we watched them play against Brentford because those are our next two opponents and they are a great team and I don’t know why and it’s not my job to analyze Liverpool’s situation.

This is the third time we have played them this season, and I think we performed pretty well in the first two games. So we have to focus on what we want to do, focus on what we can do, we can't imitate others, and we don't want to imitate others, this is our attitude towards the game.

It is reported that Bayern Munich is one of the clubs hoping to sign Gueye after he leaves Crystal Palace. Do you think he has what it takes to go to the biggest team in the world?

Yes, he can play for any club in the world.

I actually wanted to ask you if you have ever practiced long throw-ins, because a lot of goals last weekend were scored by strong hand throws. Liverpool conceded this kind of goal against Brentford. I'm just wondering how you feel about that change this season and the goal dynamic.

Yes, this is football, football never stops. Like I said, if you don't advance, you can't keep up. You always have to look for areas where you can improve.

Sometimes we can see the pace of the game getting faster and faster, players becoming more and more athletic, and sometimes returning to basic skills like long-distance throw-ins.

On the other hand, to be honest, I have to blame myself that we didn't think more about this in the last few years because it's such a great opportunity to put the ball into the penalty area. Everyone knows that 90% of goals are scored in the penalty area.

Not offside. You can have quite a lot of data. You try to pass the ball into those areas where you can score goals, that's logical.

Is this something you've been working on this season?

Yes, I practice from time to time. The starting players against Arsenal yesterday have not yet taken to the pitch for training. They just recovered in the gym.

Today we trained on the court for 30 minutes, and then you always ask, what are we doing? Same thing before the game against Brentford. Players who start tomorrow will not play on Thursday.

Then we will conduct a training session of about 30-35 minutes. You can't always practice our attacking patterns, defensive patterns, set pieces, throw-ins, free kicks, corner kicks. You can't do everything every day.

Speaking of which, any new news on your contract?

No. I told you right now, our schedule will tell me when we should talk about the contract, so now is not the time.
