The secrets of Glasner’s success and why Palace system would be lost in translation elsewhere | Jonathan Wilson

The article discusses the success of Crystal Palace under manager Patrick Vieira and why a system that has faced skepticism at Manchester United seems to be working well at Crystal Palace. The article notes that the matchup between Dynamo Kyiv and Crystal Palace is an unlikely one, given the vast differences between the two clubs. However, this is the reality of the modern football landscape, where the Premier League's wealth has allowed smaller clubs like Crystal Palace to compete at a high level. The article highlights that Crystal Palace, under Vieira's management, has been on an impressive run, with three straight wins and 19 consecutive games without defeat. This success is in contrast to the struggles of a similar system at Manchester United, leading the author to question why the same approach works so well for Crystal Palace. The article suggests that Vieira's tactical approach and the specific context of Crystal Palace may be the key factors in the team's success, even as the same system has faced skepticism elsewhere.
