November 8: After defeating Alkmaar in the UEFA Champions League, Crystal Palace will face Brighton on the weekend. At the press conference before this game, Crystal Palace coach Glasner talked about the team's injuries and other related topics.
About whether Adam Walton will start
Walton still feels some chest tightness. He has not fully recovered yet. Sometimes you need to cough it out. I hope he can recover as soon as possible. Let us wait and see. He played 30 minutes against AZ, which is good for him. To me, he was a little rusty and slow at first. That's why we played him for 30 minutes because we need to recover over the next two days. So it's important for him to get his heart rate up and add some intensity.
I think Walton's performance in the game is getting better and better. As for whether he'll be good enough to start against Brighton, I'm not sure yet. The rest of the players looked fine, with a few suffering minor injuries. Guy suffered a minor injury at the last moment, but said he was fine. At present, it seems that all players who played today will be able to participate in the next game.
About the showdown between Crystal Palace and Brighton
When I first heard about it, I thought to myself: "The two teams are so far apart, this is a derby?" Then someone told me this history. I could feel the joy and pride of the fans after our win at Brighton last year. At home, of course it was a story-telling game, and even though we had two sent offs, we still won, which was a great feeling. Of course, if you've won two in a row, you want to win a third, and that's the goal.
I think Brighton did very well. Their offense is fast and has a clear style of play. Herzler did a great job there and it will be a good test. For us, it’s time to recover and prepare physically and mentally.
About the competitiveness of the Premier League
When I saw the performance of all the English teams competing in the Champions League in the past two days, I realized how good they were, I think they had five wins and one draw. Yes, I think the level of competition in the Premier League is very high. Why? I have no idea. You (journalists) should know better than me because I have only been here for 18 months!
Last season, Guardiola said that the gap between the top teams and the mid-table teams was closing. He has been here for nine years and I agree with him. When you look at all the results, I think last week was a little bit different because there were a lot of big 2-0 and 3-0 scores, a lot of clean sheets and usually the results were very close. In the end, a narrow margin decided the outcome, which shows the quality of the Premier League.
About 10 wins in 18 games this season
It is now November, we have played 18 games, and there are 12 more games before the end of the year. In many other countries, this is the number of games that would have been played throughout the season, and we did it in three and a half months, which shows how well this team is working at the moment. We’re often asked if we’re ready to do four events, but now we’re only doing three. Winning a major trophy and then winning the Community Shield at the start of the season, with a team that's not used to being praised everywhere, sometimes you get a little relaxed and then you get punished.
I can only repeat it because I say it often: this team is very ambitious. Once you taste the sweetness, you want more because it's so sweet. I think the same goes for the players: they win trophies and it feels great. But, we want to taste that sweetness again.
The players worked very hard. You see it in every game, every training, they are very professional. That's why almost all our players are available. We have a very tight-knit roster and decided to keep it a tight-knit roster.
