Coach of Crystal Palace: I wish Eze a good journey. Ruogei left and I will play as a central defender

Crystal Palace coach Glasner has recently become a hot figure. Arsenal is poaching their frontcourt core Eze, and Liverpool is poaching their backcourt core Gee. After leading the team to a 1-0 victory over Norwegian team Fredericksta, Glasner clarified the transfer progress of the two at the press conference.

In this game, Eze missed the game, and Gee was the starter as captain, which fully demonstrated the huge difference in possibilities between the two transfers.

For Eze, Glasner said in an interview before the game: "To be honest, I thought he would start for us today. But this morning he called me and said he was unwell and could not play tonight. I have to accept this. As for other things, you can ask the chairman. If the player tells me that he is not ready to play, I have to accept this."

And at the post-match press conference, Glasner simply said: "I wish Eze all the best and he will not do it again. We play football."

Crystal Palace Chairman Steve Parrish said: "He didn't play. I mean, that's how it is, we have to look forward now. He has made great contributions to Crystal Palace, and we all love him very much. Because of everything he has done in the past and the achievements he has achieved with us, we are very happy to see him keep moving forward and realize other ambitions."

Gei's transfer is much more difficult than Eze's upcoming Arsenal. Glasner stressed this again: "It's too late, and there are only 10 days left before the transfer window is closed, to leave us for finding a suitable replacement. Today we have only 17 players available on the court, one of them from youth training, and two others told me they are leaving the team. So we only have 14 people, and from August 10 to August 31, we have 6 games to play."

"The three games we played have not lost yet, which is good, but it's still a distance from our best. If Guy leaves, he won't have Fa's second leg against Fredericksta, then we will have big trouble and we can't register any new players. So from my point of view, he must stay!"

Regarding the team's embarrassment, Glasner also laughed at himself and said he wanted to arrange for himself to play: "Today we let Lerma play the defender, he is a midfielder, but because we have no available central defender now, if Gee leaves, I have to try my sneakers, because I used to play as a central defender. This choice is good, I will consider it."
