The Eagles put in another superb team performance to see off Newcastle United 2-0 at Selhurst Park on Wednesday evening, with Jean-Philippe Mateta capping it with the seventh and eighth goals he has scored in just nine appearances under the new manager.
Glasner told his post-match press conference: “We hope for four in a row. A very famous coach in Germany said once: ‘after the game is always before a game.’
“It was a great performance, so all the credit to the players today for the performance, for the energy, for the intensity, for the offensive way of playing, always trying to score goals.
“Of course it's a good feeling also now to have completed mission number one – staying in the Premier League mathematically – so it's a good feeling, and I hope that the players get addicted to winning games, to this feeling, to these emotions. Today, it was really a very good performance.
“They [the players] are showing what they're able to do. I told you when I arrived we are not magicians, so we can just encourage them and get their qualities on the pitch. We also have to say ‘thank you’ to the players for the trust they gave us from day number one, because we changed many things. They were always listening, they were always working hard, they gave us the trust and believed in what we were telling them.
“We had many opportunities to score in the first games, but we didn't have the results and they were still trusting us, still listening to us. It shows the character of the players, and that's what’s helped us.”
