Iraola has inherited Slot’s team, but that team is not built for his style of play. The Spaniard, though, has faith he can replicate the style which has given him success in the past.“There are a lot of things, and I think naturally they will arrive.

"I would say my Bournemouth team, even in Spain, we were not like the teams running more, we were like middle of the table, we were very good at sprinting, high-speed running, at making the difference there, and with Liverpool I feel it's going to be similar."I think we have players who can make these high-quality runs, but I always say, if I can win the games running less, it's much better for us. “I go to training every day and I see things that are very expansive, and now it’s a matter of how we can use those things effectively, so we can be a very good team.”Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
