May 16th According to the official website of the FA, Crystal Palace coach Glasner was interviewed by reporters before the FA Cup final against Manchester City.

It is reported that Crystal Palace will face Manchester City in the FA Cup final this weekend to compete for the championship trophy. Previously, Crystal Palace defeated Aston Villa 3-0 in the semi-finals and successfully advanced. Head coach Glasner stressed that the support of fans will be the key to the team's victory.

When talking about this, Glasner said: "The atmosphere in that game was very warm, and seeing the two sides of the stadium being so special by the colors of the two teams was an unforgettable experience for all of us. It was very unique to have more Crystal Palace fans coming to the court to support it than we were at home.

"I originally thought I would feel nervous on the day of the game, but in fact I was very calm. I felt very positive about meeting the players at the hotel before the game. Especially when I told the two main players that they wouldn't start, their reaction was excellent and I felt very at ease from that moment on. After the game, I felt the enthusiasm of the fans. That emotional reward is not available for money, you have to win it through performance. The players and fans have done this. ”

Manchester City is the biggest obstacle to Crystal Palace's FA Cup finals, the third time in Crystal Palace has reached the FA Cup finals, the last time in 2016.

Speaking of this, Glasner said: "I don't feel it's necessary to do something special because it's an important game. Our message is to stick to our strengths, play the way we want, and stick to the methods that have worked. We had a success against Fulham and Aston Villa, so we won't change anything. Of course, we will analyze Manchester City, but we know what we can do and what we want to do and will adjust as needed.

"We have been against Manchester City three times since I came to the club, but have only gotten one draw. We conceded two goals at home and four or five goals at the Etihad Stadium. This shows that we have the ability to break through their defense, but need to be more stable in defense. It's hard to win the game when we concede four or more goals against a team like Manchester City. But if we can score two goals, we should have a chance to win."

Also, the 50-year-old coach Practice also encourages players to enjoy the game, not feel stressed, Glasner said: "It's obvious that we shouldn't feel burdened. The pressure comes from relegation, or fighting for the future of the club and the staff. But in the Cup finals, you can achieve something incredible. It's all of us dreams, a childhood dream! I believe these players have watched the FA Cup finals as kids and dreamed of being part of it one day. Now, everyone has the opportunity to realize this dream."
