English Premier League side Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira has heaped praises on in-form Ghana midfielder Jeffrey Schlupp following his blistering display against Manchester City.
The crystal Palace manager singled our three players for their tremendous display in their goalless stalemate with the League leaders.
According to Viera, Schlupp, Connor Gallagher and Cheikhou Kouyate produced an incredible and eye-catching display to stop the fluid playing City from getting their to their best from the middle of the field.
“Him, Cheikhou [Kouyaté] and Jeff [Schlupp] as well, the three midfielders maybe need a couple more days off than everyone else! They ran a lot… and didn’t give up, and this is a really good sign for us,” he said after the game.
“Today we showed as a team we’re improving. One of the challenges was to accept that at times we won’t have possession so we need to work hard to get the ball back. If we manage to understand that [in every game] and can be consistent we will improve.
“I can’t stop him! I don’t want to stop him. This is the energy that pushes the fans to be behind us and the fans were excellent. The last 10 minutes were really difficult but the fans and support made it easy to manage the last 10 minutes. Conor, this is his strength and this is why we love him.”
Schlupp is expected to return to Black Stars for the crucial 2022 FIFA World Cup playoffs against Nigeria later this month.
