Crystal Palace won the Community Shield and coach Glasner gave a passionate speech after the game

After beating Liverpool on penalties at Wembley to lift their second trophy in three months, Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner delivered an impassioned dressing room speech following the Community Shield match.

This match was the first of the new season. Crystal Palace fell behind after seven minutes, but the players remained calm and played according to their pre-match plan, securing an equalizer. Even after their opponent took advantage of limited opportunities to take the lead again, the team remained calm and confident, eventually equalizing again and ultimately winning the penalty shootout.

Glasner emphasized that this wasn't just about a victory or a trophy, but also about the team's spirit. In his locker room speech, he singled out 21-year-old Justin Deveney for taking the winning penalty kick under immense pressure and executing it with composure.

However, Glasner also reminded the team that victory is just the beginning of the season. He pointed out: "I can't give you two days off like last season, because this is just the beginning. We need more training and preparation. We have four competitions to play and four trophies to win!"

"But I know you want to celebrate and you deserve to celebrate with your family and the team. So we're moving practice to 3 p.m. so you can have your party and sleep in the morning and we'll start preparing in the afternoon."

"We need every single one of you, we need everyone, and the injured players need to return as soon as possible. There are still a lot of games to go. If we keep up this spirit, I know we will have a great season. This is just the beginning of the season, so congratulations to everyone and have a great night! Well done!"

This victory not only marked a good start to the new season for Crystal Palace, but also allowed the outside world to see the team's fighting spirit and cohesion under the leadership of Glasner. Facing a long and difficult season, they are ready for new challenges.
