Despite a stellar performance, Crystal Palace’s Mateta doesn’t receive individual accolades from his manager after the match against West Ham
London: So, Jean-Philippe Mateta was on fire again, scoring both goals in Crystal Palace’s 2-0 win over West Ham. It was a solid performance, right?
But here’s the kicker: even after that brace, his manager, Oliver Glasner, didn’t shower him with praise. Can you believe it? He’s all about the team effort.
Mateta’s goals were his seventh and eighth in the league this season, which is pretty impressive. He’s now got 24 goals in just 39 games under Glasner. That’s some serious scoring!
Interestingly, he’s outscored some big names like Arsenal’s Kai Havertz and Tottenham’s Son Heung-min this season. Talk about stepping up!
Glasner mentioned that when a striker is confident, they tend to find the back of the net. But he’s also focused on the whole team’s performance, not just one player.
He pointed out how important it is for Mateta to have teammates like Eberechi Eze setting him up. It’s all about teamwork, you know?
So, while Mateta is doing great, Glasner wants to keep the spotlight on the entire squad. It’s a team game, after all!
