Andoni iraola exclusive interview: Bournemouth Boss using Future Sports Club lessons | Football news

The European League tie this week between Manchester United and Al -Riyadi Club is an opportunity for Enderoni Iraola to return his mind to their last meeting, when he achieved his previous fourth -win side in the quarter -finals under the leadership of Marcelo Bilsa in 2012.

“We were very good,” he says. Sky Sports With a smile. Usually, he reduced it. “The United team came from winning the Premier League and lost the Champions League final against Barcelona,” he added. “They were at their highest level with senior players …”

However, they were dismantled over the legs of the Athletic Club club, and their policy of only using the Basque players, and showed their wonderful ability to their weight. Thirteen years later, it is a quality that came to determine the current side of Airola as well.

Eraola, the main coach, directed Bournemouth to the total club registration points in his first responsible season, and he was already overcome by four games from the second left to play. European rehabilitation for the first time in the club’s history is still a possibility.

At the present time, though, he will see how his old wage is on their last legs at that point. Eraola spent most of his career in Athletic Club. He still describes himself as supportive. “I have great and great memories of the Manchester United neck tie and I hope this tie will go the same way to them,” smiles.

His time in Athletic Club provides a value in addition to dear memories. He says: “My understanding of football comes from there.” “The way they used to play, even with different managers, was completely clear and how I am more comfortable.

“It is clear that you have to adapt from a team to a team. What we do in Bournemouth is not the same as what we were doing in Spain. But the main idea comes from there.”

ATHLECIC Club, such as the Iraola’s Bournemouth, is described by direct approach and physical focus. “They always say that the Sports Club is the most English team in Laliga teams,” he says. “I think there is a connection that fits well with Bournemouth.”

This connection still carries the fruit.

Bournemouth has admitted a painful, painful draw for Manchester United yet Evanelson gives the red card wrongly On Sunday, but they face Arsenal, Aston Villa and Manchester City after that after they ridiculed the three points this season, thanks to this greatly to the approach that does not know fear by their coach.

“The match schedule is not important to us. Our approach against all the teams is very similar,” he says.

“It is correct that we may want to have easier games because we are playing away with Arsenal and Manchester City in games in which we need to take points. But I think we can still be able to compete. We can make them play in an easy way for them.

The challenge of finding ways to bridge the gap to the elite is familiar in Iraola, thanks to the time he spends in his childhood club. “Most of the players come from the academy in Athletic Club,” he explains.

“You have to grow quickly and learn to face big clubs, even without experience. With the help of everyone, you have to make them work, even against the upper teams.

“I try to take that learning to my band. I respect the first difference, because it is better than you, but does not respect it much.

“Well, you can respect, but no fear. It is like,” we know that you are better, but let’s try to make it a level, let’s try to do our best and see whether we can compensate for the difference. “

Iraola “Saeed” in the development of Bournemouth

Eraola speaks on a balcony at the new training center in Bournemouth. It is an amazing facility and was followed by news that the club has also bought the Vitality Stadium, with plans to expand it. These are exciting times, inside and outside the stadium.

“I think we are lucky to be here at this moment for the club,” says Eraola. “I think the club takes steps forward, but also knowing the challenges of competition.

“Every club in the Premier League is very strong and perhaps greater than us. We have to try to reduce this gap. With the new training ground and the improvements made on the field, I think we are approaching other teams. I always tell the players, the club gives us everything, so we are now our moment of performance.”

The modern oceans are a reminder of the arrival of the iraola. “I am not used to this level of facilities,” he is smiling, remembering his training beginnings with Aek Larnaca in Cyprus, Mirands and Rio Vallecano in the second layer of Spain.

These days, the 42 -year -old is one of its most director who spoke in the game, a goal -reported goal for Tottenham and even Real Madrid. It is not that noise is allowed to influence it. Its male is dealt with with distinctive humility.

“For me, it is a big challenge to compete here in the Premier League,” he says. “Most of the coaches I play, if not all of them, have achieved more things than me.

“I haven’t been training for many years. I am really happy with how my professional pleasure is because I was steps forward, but in most of the teams I was, I was fighting to avoid landing often and just try to finish in a good position.

“For me, it is good that with the team here, we had a very good season last season. This season, we have improved this and we continued this development of the club.”

Will Eraola be there to supervise her after this summer? He has a remaining year for his contract, and Bournemouth was said to be comfortable for his future. It does not seem like someone hurry to go forward.

He says, “I am very happy.” “I have always said that. I’m very happy to work here with everyone in the club. I still finish my second season, so we are most likely to talk to my fourth season here.

“I have a good relationship with everyone here. If things go well, we will have time to talk about these things. Communication with the club is really close and I feel we have a good connection.”

No need to panic around Huijsen, Kerkez

Iraola is not the only one to attract attention, of course.

It is a testimony of his ability to train for players to ignore larger clubs, such as Brigadier General Huijsonand Milos is coming and Antoine SiminhoNow long lines of the suitor.

Iraola does not give any hint of panic around possible departure.

“I don’t think it is different from previous years, especially when the team does a good job,” he says. “It happened to us last season. We didn’t know what would happen with some players. We lost Lloyd Kelly and then Dom Solank.

“We don’t really know what will happen in the summer, we are still focusing on other things, but now all our players, and if nothing happens, they will remain in our next season as well. So I don’t think it will be different from the other summer.

“We will focus on trying to improve the team, add new players if we can, and if some players leave because someone comes with what the club considers a good offer, we must be ready for these situations, but not with fear.

“It is something that all clubs, especially those that are not at the highest level like the best team, the big difference, are used to.”

Airola says the key is to bring the right alternatives when necessary. Bournemouth transfer trading this summer will be driven by sports managers Simon Francis and Thiago Pinto. Airola has a belief that the club will present and highlight the strength of the foundations already in place.

“I think employment is essential, but I am not involved in it. I try to help them if I can, especially in the summer when the window is open.

“We also have to use the advantage of knowing each other better.

“When you are in the second or third year in a team, you can advance a lot because you already know the basics, and you have experience with the same players in good moments and bad moments, and I think we must benefit from this to reach more details and become more solid as a team.”

Any new arrival should be compatible with that collective spirit, but what is Iraola is looking for in potential signatures? “Like all managers, I want good players. They are clearly talking about English, and they come with a beautiful mind, and they are a traineable … You can ask everything from every player but everyone has different aspects.

“The most important things are that they are good players and also they want to come here, and they want to show their their composition here with us and understand what we are trying to do here.

“I think this is a very clear employment team, and they are doing a very good job.”

It helps, of course, to create Bournemouth now in the Premier League. But they also have an increasing number of success stories to keep potential goals. In the era of Iraola, the club became a destination where young players with high capabilities such as Huijsen and Kerkez are prosperous.

“I think it is an advantage compared to the place we were before two seasons, when we were recently promoted and there was more doubts,” says Eraola.

“Now, I think the players know us, and they know how to want to play, and what we want to do. And if they want to come here, for us, perfect.

“Certainly, sometimes we cannot compete, especially against other Premier League clubs. But I now think that the player who comes to Bournemouth has a clear way for what we will ask him to do, and the expectations he will get. I think it is a wonderful place coming.”

A great place to come, and the supporters hope for a great place to stay as well. Eraola, the coach who was formed in a sporting and flourishing club in the Premier League, put Bournemouth in an exciting road.
