Fight Liverpool again! Glasner: We only took 1 point in the Premier League after beating them last time

Crystal Palace is about to face Liverpool again in the fourth round of the League Cup. Team coach Glasner attended the pre-match press conference and talked about preparations.

Talk about the last time the two teams met

"Since that game, we have only scored 1 point in the Premier League. This is a fact. Although the results are not very good, I think our performance is okay. Compared with the game against Liverpool, our performance has not declined. We reviewed the game against Arsenal and we had more than 100 people at the Emirates Stadium. They were only given two chances to shoot in open play in the minute, but they did better at set-pieces, which was the key to winning the game. They could have scored two more goals through set-pieces, but our defense in open play was very good. I think this is one of our best performances. It is not easy to create opportunities, and we are not the first. A team that encounters this situation when facing Arsenal. We will stick to the established path and believe in what we are doing. This is such a good team and has been on the right path. "

Talking about preparations

"We don't know what their situation is, what kind of lineup they will field, usually they will be in the game. There will be more rotations in the League Cup. They also have some injuries, but their playing style will not change much. Of course, we also watched their game against Brentford, after all, it is our opponent in the next two games. As for the reason for their recent poor performance, this is not a problem that I need to analyze. We played against each other, and I think we performed quite well in the first two games, focusing on what we can do and what we want to do. We cannot and do not want to imitate others. This is our attitude towards this game."

On the increased frequency of use of throw-in tactics in the Premier League this season

"This is football, just like life, never. Stop, you have to keep improving, looking for room to develop. In recent years, we have seen that the pace of the game has become faster and faster, and the physical fitness of the players has improved, but sometimes the game returns to its basics. It must be admitted that we have not fully utilized this tactic in the past few years. In fact, this is a good opportunity to send the ball directly into the penalty area. 90% of goals occur in this area, and there is no offside problem in this situation. You can put multiple players in that area and try to pass the ball into those areas. It is a very logical choice."

On whether Crystal Palace can win the League Cup

"We will try our best and the players performed very well. Very good, let's wait and see. I don't know what the result will be, but we go to Liverpool to win, we will not say it is a friendly match, otherwise we will send the U21. Considering all the schedule, it makes no sense not to send the strongest team to Anfield tomorrow to try to win."
