Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has been heard praising one of his forwards after an impressive moment during training in Marbella.
With a three-week break between drawing 1-1 with Luton Town at Selhurst Park and a trip to face Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, Crystal Palace have headed off on a warm-weather training camp.
The purpose will be for Oliver Glasner to try and improve his side both in terms of fitness and also understanding of how he wants them to play.
Now, he’s been heard praising one player for a moment in training which blew him away.
Oliver Glasner blown away by Odsonne Edouard
While taking part in a training session in Marbella which was uploaded to the official club website, Glasner could be heard reacting to a wonderful moment of play from striker Odsonne Edouard.
He shouted: “Great play” after Edouard won back the ball from his teammates and managed to pass the ball to safety.
Clearly, from these drills, we can see in the video pressing is being heavily focussed on as Glasner looks to adapt the team into playing his style of football.
Edouard wasn’t the only player to be lauded with Paddy McCarthy heaping praise on three other players in the same video.
Edouard on his last chance at Crystal Palace
Despite being early into the Glasner era, there are several players in last chance saloon, and £14m Edouard is one of them, especially after the exit hint he dropped earlier this season.
Not preferred over Jean-Philippe Mateta and with a summer signing list expected to include a striker, he could be running out of time.
So this makes impressing Glasner even more important for the Frenchman and hearing that he has, could point towards some minutes to prove himself against Bodo/Glimt.
