Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner said his team's excellent performance against Arsenal gave them confidence ahead of the upcoming FA Cup final.
Facing a strong opponent, Crystal Palace played a very threatening performance and had the upper hand in creating chances. Thanks to wonderful goals from Eberechi Eze and Jean-Philippe Mateta, they equalized the score twice and finally won a valuable point.
Oliver Glasner said: "I am proud of the players' efforts and performance on the field today. In this game, we were 0-1 behind our opponents, and we had conceded 10 goals in the previous two away games . This situation is very serious for any team."
“The support from the fans was fantastic, unbelievable. Even when we were behind, we kept fighting and kept pushing forward. I think we deserved the draw, especially after we equalised twice.”
"We also performed very well defensively, with every player maintaining a high level of discipline. We also pushed forward aggressively, created a lot of chances and scored two great goals."
"We played very well as a whole in this game, which once again demonstrated the cohesion and execution of the team. I think this is our best performance in recent times, which gives us enough confidence to face the semi-finals. We must go into the semi-finals with belief, courage and confidence, and this is what we showed today."
“We must continue to maintain the same concentration, discipline, belief and confidence in the next games. In addition, our tactical discipline must be the same whether we have the ball or not. We need to move the ball quickly like we did today and stay focused in set pieces, attacking and defending, which is crucial for the team.”
Oliver Glasner also said: "Of course, we also need the talent and strength of the players, as well as strong team spirit and tactical discipline. In addition, we also need firm willpower and a cool head."
"We are very much looking forward to the game against Aston Villa and I'm sure everyone associated with Crystal Palace is equally excited. However, I think we have to remain calm. This is always a football game. We showed good form today and it's a positive sign for us. However, we have to continue at this level because Aston Villa is also a very good team."
"We don't need to make any changes, just rely on the strengths we have shown throughout the season, rely on our unity and the quality of each player. This is what I have always pursued, we don't need to think too much."
"No matter where we play, the grass is still green, the game will be played 11 vs 11, there will be three referees on the field, everything is the same. We will do our best to show ourselves, show the characteristics of the team, and then we will see what the result will be."
