Oliver Glasner Got Straight on the Phone to Marc Guehi After His Liverpool Dream Collapsed and Convinced Him to Knuckle Down and Focus on the Eagles

 

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has once again shown why he is regarded as a manager with a strong man-management touch, after stepping in to help calm defender Marc Guehi following the collapse of a potential move to Liverpool.

 

Guehi, who has been o

ne of the Premier League’s most consistent centre-backs over the last two seasons, was heavily linked with a switch to Anfield this summer. Reports suggested Liverpool were keen to strengthen their defensive ranks, with Guehi high on their shortlist. However, with talks stalling and Liverpool opting to pursue alternative options, the England international was left frustrated and disappointed that his dream move to one of Europe’s elite clubs did not materialise.

 

According to insiders, Glasner immediately picked up the phone once the deal collapsed, ensuring his star defender felt valued and motivated at Selhurst Park. The Austrian tactician reminded Guehi of his importance to Crystal Palace’s ambitions and urged him to focus on leading the Eagles’ backline rather than dwelling on missed opportunities.

 

“Marc is a leader here, and sometimes in football, things don’t happen the way you hope,” Glasner reportedly told him. “But what matters is how you respond, and we need you at your best.”

 

Glasner’s personal intervention is said to have lifted Guehi’s spirits, with the 24-year-old determined to show professionalism and channel his energy back into Palace’s campaign. Sources close to the squad say the manager’s man-management has helped maintain harmony in the dressing room, preventing any lingering disappointment from unsettling preparations for the season ahead.

 

The Palace boss has been quick to stress that Guehi’s career is still on an upward trajectory and that opportunities with bigger clubs will come again if he continues to perform at the highest level. By reinforcing his defender’s value to the Eagles, Glasner has effectively turned a moment of personal setback into extra motivation.

 

With Palace aiming to push further up the Premier League table, keeping key figures like Guehi fully focused is essential. For Glasner, who has already built a reputation for tactical nous and strong leadership, this moment only underlines his ability to manage not just tactics but emotions – a crucial ingredient in top-level football.

 

As Palace head into a demanding stretch of fixtures, Guehi’s response to this setback could be pivotal. If Glasner’s pep talk has the desired effect, the Eagles may benefit from an even more determined version of their defensive talisman.
