Andoni Iraola believes there is room for improvement in every game


In the focus of the 24th round of the 2024/25 Premier League, the "Cherries" Bournemouth lost to the "Reds" Liverpool 0-2 after being scored by the opponent's players in the first and second half. Andoni Iraola said that every game, regardless of the result, has areas that need to be analyzed and improved, but at the same time he is also satisfied with the performance of the players.


In the 28th minute of the game, Gakpo was kicked down by Bournemouth midfielder Lewis Cook when he received a long pass from his teammate in the penalty area, and Liverpool was awarded a penalty kick. Subsequently, Salah took the penalty kick and scored, helping Liverpool take the lead 1-0.


In the 38th minute, David Brooks received a pass from his teammate and scored with a powerful shot, but VAR showed that Kerkez Miloš was offside, so the goal was ruled invalid.


In the 75th minute of the second half, Jones received the pass from Diaz and made a horizontal pass, and Salah shot into the goal, helping Liverpool extend their lead to 2-0.


In the end, Bournemouth lost to Liverpool 0-2 at home. After the unbeaten record of nearly 11 rounds ended, Bournemouth is currently ranked 7th in the standings with 40 points.


Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola said: "We didn't get the result we wanted in the end, but I think the team played well and gave ourselves a chance to win. I think it was a high-level game with high overall quality on both sides. But against these top teams, sometimes you need some key details on your side. We hit the post twice and the goal was ruled out because of a few millimeters of offside."


"We should have taken our chances to punish them. We knew the game would be open, both sides would have chances and we should have put them under more pressure with goals."


Andoni Iraola also said, "No matter which game, even the one we won recently, there are things that are worthy of recognition, but there are also areas that need improvement. We will analyze the game comprehensively, and what is certain is that there are some aspects that we can do better."


"But overall, I'm happy with the performance. As I said, we created some chances and caused Liverpool problems, but it's very difficult to beat Liverpool."
