Oliver Glasner struggles with horror statistics, fan problems and a false report about a Rapid duo at Crystal Palace ahead of home game against Luton Town!

Always stay positive-that was once again typical Oliver Glasner: When the English media crowd "bombarded" the Austrian at the press conference for today's home game against Luton Town with the late goals conceded in last Saturday's 3-1 defeat at Tottenham (77th, 80th, 88th), Glasner was able to say that he was "not happy".) - and with the horror statistic that Crystal Palace had conceded more goals in the final quarter of an hour than any other Premier League club with 19 - the 49-year-old countered: "Let's talk about the three goals we scored within 15 minutes in the 3-0 win against Burnley"

Hardly any differences
That was Glasner's England debut 14 days ago. The coach has since taken a closer look at England, but he remains adamant: "I hardly see any differences to soccer on the continent-nothing has surprised me."

Fan threats and false reports
And if there is, it's things off the pitch: Ultra fans are threatening to boycott the home game against Luton today because of a dispute with the club management. Glasner is also learning to live with daily fake news. First and foremost in the media regarding transfers: yesterday it was reported that the coach had recommended the Rapid duo Matthias Seidl/Leo Querfeld to his club as summer signings. However, the "Krone" found out that it was a "false alarm!"
