Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has been speaking to the media before Thursday's Uefa Conference League semi-final second leg against Shakhtar Donetsk at Selhurst Park (kick-off 20:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Glasner confirmed the "good news" that midfielder Will Hughes "is back" and revealed Evan Guessand has "trained today [Wednesday] but just partly, so he doesn't make the squad."
The Palace boss said "nobody believes" the job is done after the 3-1 win in the first leg: "We could see how good Shakhtar is as a team and also the players. Quick players. Quick dribblers. We will need another great performance but, of course, we go, we play the game tomorrow with a lot of confidence at home."
He added, "At Selhurst Park, we know we will have fantastic support from our fans. I could feel it against Fiorentina at home. It will be a little bit more electric [on Thursday] and that's what we need."
On how the team can react to the atmosphere, he continued: "Then it's the players playing our game, giving our best. I told the players the best thing is we know what to do. We don't need to change a lot. We don't need to find something that we didn't find right now, it's just really playing at our best level and this is what we will try [in this game]."
Glasner insisted if he wasn't excited for this game he would be in the wrong job and it would be a sign to retire.
On how far the club have come: "I told the players [on Wednesday] I'm enjoying being part of this incredible group. What they've done for Palace in the last two years is just incredible. Maybe it's because I'm leaving in summer, I can recognise more and more in London. People talking to me and fans are talking to me, what they are telling me is that it's really something special."
He continued: "What these players have done in the past two years is just incredible. Premier League, great and big games, winning FA Cup, winning the [Community] Shield, a great start to the season and now being close to playing a European final. A few years ago, this has been so far away for Crystal Palace and now it's so close to grab it. This makes this exciting for all of us because we know that we can write history again. We know that we can give fans moments that will stay forever."
Asked if those people coming up to him are asking him to stay, Glasner responded: "A few… No, most of them just want a selfie when I take the tube. Some are just saying thank you for these exciting two years we all had together. I see myself as just part of this group. I couldn't do anything alone, I could do nothing. It's really the players, they always listen, they're working so hard."
On his impressive record in cup football with multiple teams: "I don't know. It would be my personal fourth-consecutive final in four seasons. I'm just lucky I'm always managing a fantastic group of players doing the things we're telling them."
After Christantus Uche commented in an interview that Glanser “doesn’t like me”, the head coach said he didn’t like to talk to players through the media and prefers to talk directly, but added Uche would be getting support from Crystal Palace because he is a player at the club.
