Glasner makes positive impression as he faces the media

Oliver Glasner got sunburned taking Nottingham Forest training on Tuesday.
The new manager admitted the one thing which had surprised him since arriving at the City Ground was the weather.

The two-and-a-half-hour pre-season training session did not just take its toll on the squad, with Glasner joking he has now got some factor 50 sunblock.
Glasner is the Reds' fifth manager in less than 12 months but expected to last longer than his predecessors and bring the silverware Evangelos Marinakis desires.
Open, sociable and chatty, his first Forest news conference lasted almost one hour and 10 minutes, having earlier walked on to the City Ground pitch for pictures and camera shots.
He recognised Marinakis' ambition - that the Greek owner is perhaps one of the people more ambitious than him - and waxed lyrical about the seafood they ate when talking about the Forest job in Athens.
Glasner spoke about making a meal with the ingredients he has at Forest, hoping it will be good, how he understands why Crystal Palace fans may be upset with him - given the new rivalry between the clubs - and the stability needed at Forest.
Glasner hit the right notes. He even revealed he texted his former Palace captain Marc Guehi on his birthday on Monday - only for Guehi to reply not realising Glasner had joined Forest.
Saturday's opening pre-season friendly over the Trent at Notts County gives fans their first view of the new era, albeit without Elliot Anderson after his move to Manchester City.
Standing on the side of the Meadow Lane pitch, Glasner will hope to remember his sunscreen.
