“He makes me stand-up” “He keeps Threatening my players” – Oliver Glasner openly praise Chelsea player after what he did to Palace players in 3-1 defeat to Chelsea
In his post-match press conference (aired on BBC Match of the Day and YouTube clips from Palace’s official channel), Glasner was reflective and frustrated about his team’s performance—lamenting missed chances, defensive errors, and a lack of ruthlessness that allowed Chelsea to punish mistakes efficiently as Chelsea beats Palace 3-1.
However Place coach gives his take on his defensive area.
Galsner said after the match: “That’s a poor defending from my players giving Estêvão Willian the ball”
“Estevao William really makes me to stand-up it’s bad watching this 18yr old young player destroying my players” he said
He continued base on the Officiating:
“I could easily blame the referee for a few decisions,” said Glasner. “Caicedo had two fouls in the first half and conceded one yellow. Adam had two and conceded two yellows.
“I watched the penalty back and it hit Jaydee’s hip first. We were briefed before the season that if the ball touches the body first and then hits the hand, it’s not handball.
“Pedro Neto stamped on Ismaila Sarr. VAR has to intervene, it’s a clear stamp – it should have been a red card.
“But, to be honest, it feels wrong to blame the referee because he can’t help us in the future. We can only help ourselves. That’s why I think it’s important to talk about ourselves.”
