Intensity, smiles & Lewandowski - inside Liverpool training under Iraola

Liverpool's first training session under new head coach Andoni Iraola concluded with Polish striker Robert Lewandowski taking penalties at Chicago Fire's performance center. Despite a gloomy sky, the 37-year-old Polish forward missed the bar on his attempt. The session followed a video of Dominik Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones arguing after their win against Wrexham, prompting speculation about Szoboszlai's move to Inter Milan.

However, the players addressed the situation amicably, joking and engaging in playful activities together. Coach Iraola emphasized the need for a vice-captain following Andy Robertson's departure and the squad was split for drills, with a focus on possession and set-pieces. Liverpool's record signing, Alexander Isak, joined the training session after missing the New York trip.

While some players, like Jeremy Jacquet, were recovering from injuries, the overall atmosphere was positive, with Iraola actively involved in the drills and expressing his enthusiasm for the training methods.
