Oliver Glasner: The outcome of this game was unpredictable, and getting a point would be very important for the team.

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner said he was very proud of his players' performance after the team drew 0-0 with in-form Aston Villa. Although both sides had chances to win, Crystal Palace could only manage a draw at Selhurst Park, but their tenacious defense and fighting spirit earned the manager's praise.  

After the match, Oliver Glasner said: "It's a great achievement to get a point today, and I want to praise the players' performance. I'm proud of every single one of them. It's really not easy to get this result here against one of the best Premier League teams right now."  

"We lacked confidence in the first half, which was obvious to the audience. However, in the second half, the encouragement and support from the fans helped us regain our rhythm. It was a game where the outcome was unpredictable, and it was very important and deserved for us to get this point."  

This draw means Oliver Glasner remains unbeaten in six encounters with Aston Villa manager Unai Emery. Glasner stated he was particularly proud of his players' performance, given the team's depleted squad. Crystal Palace were missing Jefferson Lerma and Nathaniel Clyne due to injury, while Chris Richards, though returning, could only play as a substitute.  

Oliver Glasner added: "Twelve of the players we fielded today were only partially fit. Chris Richards only returned to training yesterday, and this was the first time he'd worn his boots in two weeks. We put a lot of pressure on them in the second half, and I'm very proud of their performance."  

“The players didn’t show any signs of fatigue today, which is very rare. In the second half, Crystal Palace controlled the game for about 20 minutes. Football is a sport that emphasizes momentum, and when we are in control, we naturally have more scoring opportunities, although we didn’t capitalize on some of them. The team’s effort, unity, and teamwork today were outstanding, and this point gives me confidence for the next month.”
