I HATE LOSING, EVEN TO MY DAUGHTER

Palace boss is serious about all games... especially with a trophy up for grabs

OLIVER GLASNER has become so obsessed with winning - even losing a game of Connect Four to his daughter felt like failure.

Speaking ahead of tomorrow's showdown with Liverpool in the Community Shield, the Austrian said: "For me, when you play a final and when you play for silverware, you always want to win it.

"I mention it so often, sometimes I felt like this when we were talking about the Carabao Cup - we enter a competition to win it.
