Crystal Palace manager, Oliver Glasner, has come out to say that FA Cup glory against Manchester City was a reward for patience. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he is very grateful to the club’s supporters for giving the team time rather than criticising them after a nightmare start to the season, and they deserve the trophy for being good to the players.
He added that nobody expected Frankfurt to win the Europa League or Palace to win the FA Cup, but patience made it happen.
His words, “Nobody expected Frankfurt to win the Europa League or Palace to win FA Cup, but you can see what you get when you are patient as a club.
We had a very bad start, three points after eight games, and usually fans are impatient and are complaining, but our fans were very good with us.
Even when we were 5-0 down at Newcastle last month, the fans were supporting our team. This is our special connection.
In difficult moments, you need support. Not somebody who kicks you, but somebody who hugs you. It’s a special win for our fans.
I have a feeling about players and I got a feeling during this season that we can achieve incredible things.
We have great characters, such a togetherness and work ethic, and that is fundamental to achieving maybe impossible things.
That feeling started in the winter because we all stayed together after the difficult start.
We did it for our fans, for very many people. When I was in Austria, we won a cup after 25 years and the connection stays with you forever.
It will be the same for these players. It is massive for everyone and it was a special motivation to write history for the club.”
WOW.
