Oliver Glasner

Glasner struck gold again.

Another incredible day for me and for my family, sharing these moments with my family here at Leipzig again.

This is just a fantastic day, so I have to say thank you to the players because they have to do all the job.

Okay.

I just guided this group of players and their staff and I supported them.

And I said, you know, this is... And it's... I really... This is because it's my 100% conviction, so I can't do anything alone.

You know, I could be the best magician, it wouldn't work without the players.

And so it's all... The players deserve all the credit because...

They have to listen, they have to trust me and myself and the staff of course.

They have to work very hard and I think every player will tell you that I'm very demanding so if things don't go how I think they should go or if players probably

drop the standard by one or two percent I don't I can't accept it so I and this is just and then sometimes they're a little bit upset with me and I'm and that's fine but at the end I think they know that I want the best for every single one and I want the best for the team and this as soon as everybody understood this we just created a fantastic spirit you know that we

We always increased the standard and we said, OK, no, we don't drop it anymore because it makes fun and we see what is possible.

And this is what I see as my job, to get everybody aligned in the way we are playing, in the way we are defending, in the way we are attacking and to get everybody aligned in the mindset we have.

And therefore, you need great, of course, talented football players, but you need great characters because they have to follow.

And so they deserve all the credit.

and at the end it's now with one year delay that Crystal Palace, the players, the club and the supporters get what they have deserved last year after winning the FA Cup and that's a spot in the Europa League.

I see myself as a servant for the players, as a servant for the club and then somebody who gives the direction and

I talked to players today in the meeting when we had it in the hotel because I got many messages from fans where they said thank you for the best day in my life and all the stuff and I really appreciate it and I just have

I told the players exactly the same.

So I have to say thank you to the players.
