Five things to look out for at open training

Club

9 Apr 2024

As Crystal Palace prepare to take on Liverpool this weekend, this is your rare opportunity to glimpse behind the scenes and watch Oliver Glasner taking his side through training – don’t miss out!

As a special event during the Easter holidays, fans will have the opportunity to watch the first-team squad on Wednesday, 10th April, with entry from 10:00 BST.

So why head down to Selhurst?

A peak behind the scenes

Ever watch Ebere Eze find Jean-Philippe Mateta with seemingly telepathic accuracy, or see Joachim Andersen instinctively know when Michael Olise is about to make a run?

This is where those moves are honed and developed. It’s not telepathy, it’s practise, practise and more practise.

A good example for any budding footballers looking for something to entertain them during the holidays – or any Sunday league stars in need of some inspiration.

Elite-level preparation

Would you have made it as a footballer if it wasn’t for your bum knee? Wouldn’t we all…

It’s only when you watch Premier League players training up close that you realise the levels at which they prepare each week – even the most promising Academy prospects or arrivals from abroad admit how much the pace and power of these sessions is a step up from anything they have experienced before.

A new approach

Oliver Glasner’s arrival has meant a new approach to training as the manager looks to implement his philosophy step-by-step, with the players adapting to a different style of play on matchday.

Supporters will have an insight into how things have changed under the new regime.

Returning players

How good was it to see Michael Olise back in action against Manchester City?

Well, you can hope to see even more of him and plenty of other teammates you may not see in action on matchday, with hopes for returning players to take part if their recovery allows them.

Tactics and more tactics

How do you solve a problem like Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool?

Well, the answer to that is in the preparation. But we can’t tell you that here – that would be cheating. Come down and try to work it out for yourself…
