🎙️📝 𝗦𝗨𝗠𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗬 - Andoni Iraola’s pre-Brighton press conference:
• Confirmed Dominik Szoboszlai will miss Brighton, but said he is making progress and has returned to individual training
• Confirmed Bradley Barcola trained normally, while Víctor Muñoz is dealing with a knock and remains a doubt for Brighton
• Described Ryan Gravenberch as a natural No.8 who can also cover at No.6, right-back and No.10, highlighting his versatility amid the absences of Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley
• Praised Alexis Mac Allister’s leadership, experience and consistent performances since returning to form
• Insisted his forwards must give 100% every time, explaining he would rather substitute players than accept performances below their best
• Urged Rio Ngumoha and other young players to focus on improving and avoid being distracted by outside praise or criticism
• Said Liverpool’s younger players are learning from experienced teammates, with senior players helping them develop in training
• Believes recent victories are helping him personally feel more connected to Liverpool, stressing that a sense of belonging must be earned
• Praised Brighton as an exceptionally well-coached side with quality in every phase, expects a high-level contest between two teams who want to control the game
• Said Liverpool’s recent home performances against Atlético Madrid, Tottenham and Villarreal have been strong, but his priority is winning points both home and away

🗣️ Andoni Iraola on younger players:
“They are all supporting each other, they praise each other and when they see someone start in the Champions League or Premier League, they feel it and they feel they are close to being there. That is good for them and the ones in the second team. Koumas leaning from Isak.
“They have to use all the help from the players, the coaches. They have to take it in and learn from that and we have some experienced players, so they look at what they are doing in training.”
💬 𝗤𝗨𝗢𝗧𝗘 - Andoni Iraola believes Alexis Mac Allister is one of the smartest players at his disposal at Liverpool:
“He arrived as the last one from the national team, but straight away took everything, all the information. I think he's smart, understands, you don't need to explain seven times the same things to Alexis.”
