Glasner Warns Crystal Palace About Emotion in FA Cup Final
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has urged his team to maintain emotional calm in the FA Cup final against Manchester City. Glasner fears that an overload of emotions could be detrimental, recalling Brazil’s 7-1 defeat to Germany in the 2014 World Cup.
Palace busca su primer trofeo en la historia del club en Wembley el sábado, en su tercera aparición en una final de la FA Cup. Las dos finales anteriores terminaron en derrotas.
“We shouldn’t feel the pressure of bringing a trophy to Crystal Palace because this has never happened in the club’s history. We will give our best. That is our mentality tomorrow.”

Despite the 8-place difference in the Premier League, with Palace in 12th place, Glasner is confident in his team’s possibilities. The 3-0 victory over Aston Villa in the FA Cup semi-final and the recent good performance in the league, including a draw with Nottingham Forest and a victory against Tottenham Hotspur, give hope.
Glasner revealed that the preparation for the match was similar to that of a Premier League game, focusing on his team’s performance and analyzing Manchester City.
The Austrian coach confirmed that he has the entire team available, including midfielder Adam Wharton, who returns after missing the match against Spurs.
