Roy Hodgson has said that it is getting difficult to survive in the Premier League with each passing year.
The Englishman’s side, Crystal Palace, is currently placed in the 16th place in the league table, staring at the possibility of getting relegated right in the eye.
Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has said that the possibility of staying afloat in the Premier League is getting difficult with every passing year due to his age. The former Liverpool and Fulham manager has been one of the most experienced gaffers in the game and had lifted the Eagles out of the relegation zone in the last season as well after they endured an abysmal start to their season.
The former England manager said, “I think any manager who tells you ‘I am very good at keeping my equilibrium, I’m always calm and reasoned, and I can take the good with the bad and I can put the wins and the losses in perspective’, you will find a special person, I’ve never met one.”
Hodgson added, “All of the top managers I have come across during my career, they suffer as much with the defeats and when things don’t go their way late in life as they did early in life. In fact, I would say probably the opposite.
“You can get over it a bit easier when you are younger because then maybe you haven’t got a record to protect, you haven’t got a period in your life when you have been successful and won games. Those periods are still to come, they are still in front of you so you have got that optimism if you like that ‘yeah it’s going badly at the moment, but my day will come’. So I think it gets worse as you get older.”
