Crystal Palace manager Pierre Sage offered a grounded perspective on his profession during a press conference on Saturday ahead of the team's UEFA Europa League match against Hoffenheim. "Football is not a hard job. I don't save lives," Sage said, emphasizing the relative importance of the sport compared to life-saving occupations.
The press conference was held at the Crystal Palace Training Ground on November 7, 2026, as the club prepares for Thursday's Europa League fixture against German side Hoffenheim.
