It was one of those goals you don’t get to see often and has left Oliver Glasner in awe. But before he discussed the goal he explained what made Schlupp angry in training.
Oliver Glasner shares why Jeffery Schlupp was angry in training
Speaking after the game to the press, Glasner shared a story about Schlupp from Friday, which is made very interesting by what he did in the game on Saturday.
“Schlupp was a little bit angry because yesterday we had a finishing exercise with old players against young players, and the old players lost.”
“I think that’s why he wanted to score.”
Hearing this, it seems clear that Schlupp took the training challenge loss personally and thought he’d just have to show his teammates how it’s done.
He certainly did that too with his strike likely to be nominated for the Goal of the Month award. But what did Glanser think of the strike?

During his press conference post-game, Glasner elaborated upon that story to laud the goal itself.
“The finish is amazing,” Glasner explained as he was clearly in awe of the finish.
“All of the substitutes brought a great energy at the end of a very tough week and we had an amazing goal from Jeffrey so I’m pleased with the performance.
“We started from the right with Adam Wharton, who played a pass to Jeffrey and with his second touch, he had a great finish.”
The Austrian boss seems proud of his team for their fight to equalise, but all the plaudits must go to Schlupp.
