One of the members of my staff was watching him training and he told me after that he liked it because he (Iraola) was involved, he's trying to do things on the pitch all the time."Bournemouth has done really well and now he has a different challenge."Speaking to Sky Sports, Benitez added: "It's (Liverpool) a massive club.
