His upcoming test will see him take on Championship outfit Wrexham.Liverpool's anticipated first-choice left-back, Milos Kerkez, understands precisely what it means to play under Iraola.
The Hungarian defender featured in Iraola's Bournemouth side before securing a substantial move to Merseyside 12 months ago."I was delighted, honestly," Kerkez told ESPN when asked about Iraola's appointment."I worked for him before, and he helped me and improved me a lot in the two years that I spent with him. Everyone knows what type of football he plays, so I think he is the perfect fit for us."Discussing Iraola's attacking, high-energy approach to the game, Kerkez added: "It's the intensity."He's not scared to play one-on-one all over the pitch, to press high and to be on the front foot always."If you see footage of how we all are after training, all lying down, then you can see what he is preparing us for.
