Iraola: Bournemouth may understand his ideas better than Liverpool
Andoni Iraola is looking forward to returning to Bournemouth with Liverpool - even if the opponents may understand his methods better than his own players. The Spaniard is six games into his reign as Liverpool manager after leaving the Cherries, whom he guided into Europe for the first time at the end of last season.
Andoni Iraola, Liverpool's new manager, is eager to return to his former club Bournemouth on Sunday for their Premier League match at the Vitality Stadium. Iraola, who left Bournemouth to join Liverpool earlier this year, hopes his current players will better comprehend his tactics than the visiting team. The Spaniard admits his opponents may have a stronger grasp of his methods, but he is confident in Liverpool's ability to secure a win.
Liverpool has had an advantage in preparation, as they received two extra days rest following their League Cup victory over Tottenham, while Bournemouth played on Thursday. Iraola praised defender Ronald Araujo, who has settled quickly on his season-long loan from Barcelona, for his fitness, versatility, and readiness to play in any position needed.
