Former Bournemouth boss Iraola is taking charge at Liverpool with the instructions to bring back exciting and attacking football to win back the fans.Ex-Liverpool boss Klopp - who described his game as “heavy metal football” - delivered trophies with exciting football and Iraola gained a reputation at Bournemouth for delivering stylish teams.Scott has no doubt that Iraola will be a big hit at Liverpool - especially as the fans want stylish football which was their biggest complaint about ex-boss Arne Slot.Scott said: “What can Liverpool expect from Iraola? He is obviously a great manager, you see what we have done as a club at Bournemouth and how we have progressed over the three seasons he was with us.“I think the way we press out of possession is very aggressive, maybe similar to the early Klopp teams Liverpool had, that fierce aggressiveness and pressing with the wingers.“I would say he is similar to that.
Liverpool fans should definitely be so excited, he has done a lot for me personally.”Scott also says Iraola will help improve other players just as he did for his own game at Bournemouth.He added: “I have improved loads this season, out of possession and in possession. I feel like I have had his trust.
Defensively, maybe in my first two seasons, I wasn’t at the level to be playing in the Premier League and that is something I had to learn on and learn from the players ahead of me in the team.“But he put his trust in me from the first game of the season and I started and played 34 full games this year, so that is something to be really proud of. Injury free as well, which I was happy with.“The manager has been amazing for me, working with me going forward, defensively, being more aggressive, and that is the reason I played most games this season.”Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
