Grassner: It's not easy to score two goals against Arsenal and it would have been nice to kick a penalty [jiayu]


Live on December 19, Crystal Palace in the early morning of the League Cup 2-3 defeat Arsenal, after the game, Crystal Palace coach Glassner accepted the media interview.

"We played against Arsenal and then had the possibility to win. On the positive side, it's not easy to score two goals against Arsenal away from home, not many teams score two goals at the Emirates and that's good. But in terms of the performance of the whole team, I know we will try and I know all the players will try to win the games at home in the future."

"I think we were a bit too cautious after taking the lead. I said to the players, I know them all, I would never ask them to do something they couldn't do, they gave it their all, but I felt we lacked the 100 per cent determination and courage to win the game."

Speaking about the 18-year-old Coppoja's first start, Glasner said: "He has been working very hard and that's why he started today. He was booked and it's not going to be easy against Trossard, who is a very quick and good player, so it will be a very positive experience for him."

"Thanks also to our fans, thanks to their great support today, it was fantastic, they pushed and supported us, especially at the end of the game, we felt that maybe something could happen. But we couldn't score the final 3-3 goal. It would be great to kick a penalty, preferably in front of our fans. But that's okay. We have to give it a try in the FA Cup and then we'll see where we go."
