I mean no disrespect to Slot, but just reading Iraola’s first comments, it feels like he understands Liverpool as a club in a way Slot never did, really. And Iraola’s approach to the job is exactly what the supporters wants to see.
Andoni Iraola on Anfield:
“I’ve been the other side – I still remember the goal [Federico] Chiesa scored at the end of the first game of the season!
“We were there with 2-2 thinking that probably we could take something. He scored and the place erupted. It was crazy, no? I want now to feel this from the other side.
“At the beginning when you arrive at any club, I think you need to kind of prove a little bit yourself. You need to earn the right also to belong. I want to do this as quickly as possible so I can also celebrate with them and I can be part properly of those celebrations.
“For me, football is about emotions. About passion.
“I’m quite cool-headed probably, during my life quite rational, I would say. But it’s true that when the game starts, when you have to celebrate a goal, something is inside, no?
“I think this inner energy, you need it as a player, you need it as a supporter, you need it as a coach. No better place than Anfield.”
Instead of moaning about World cup destructing his pre season, see it as an opportunity to work with youngsters and fringe players. Already better than Bald Fraud Slot
🎙️𝗤𝗨𝗢𝗧𝗘 - Andoni Iraola:
"I want to get ready. Also with the World Cup being there, we will have a chance to work with especially with some of the young players, because a lot of senior players are out and arriving later because of the World Cup. I think it gives us the chance to know better the players from the Academy, some of the players that have been on loan, they will be important for the first part of pre-season, the American tour. I think it works very well for us, it gives us a lot of information before we take really decisions, before we start the season."
Andoni Iraola’s message to Liverpool fans:
“I cannot ask them for a lot. I know how they are. I can only say that I want to become one more of you. I want to earn the right to be one of you, so we can enjoy all together.”
🚨🗣️ Florentino Perez: "On Tuesday we will make an offer of more than 150 million euros for a player who plays in the Champions League. It will be the most expensive signing in the history of Real Madrid."
"The signing isn't Olise, nor Haaland. It will be another who plays from midfield upwards."
