Crystal Palace Manager: Manchester United has high-quality attacking play; we will have opportunities if we defend well

On September 22, in the 5th round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace is set to face Manchester United at home. Before the match, Crystal Palace’s official social media posted an update, with manager Gerthrua stating that we are not short of opportunities; what we need to do is seize them and keep working hard on the pitch.

[Unfavorable Calls]

“Unfavorable calls are common throughout the season, but talking about the past is meaningless. We are preparing for the match against Manchester United and have no time to think about these things.”

[Seizing Opportunities]

“Manchester United has very high-quality attacking play, but if we defend well, we will get our chances. We did well in that game last season. In a few matches this new season, opponents took the lead, but we were not short of opportunities; however, we need to seize them and be efficient. This would make the game look completely different.”

[Versatility and Competitiveness]

“We cannot play with just eleven players, nor will we rely solely on three players for attacking play; we will make changes as we do now. Different choices help the team maintain its competitiveness. Some players did not participate in pre-season games and are adjusting their rhythm and striving to return to their best form. Riku Hagi, Eddie Nketiah, Willian, and Klein are all versatile players skilled in various positions.”

[Eze]

“To me, Eze is undoubtedly one of the best English midfielders, deserving of all the praise he receives. He is talented and diligent and continues to improve himself.”
