Iraola urges Bournemouth to do their best to deal with Crystal Palace threat


The "Cherries" Bournemouth will travel to challenge the "Eagles" Crystal Palace in the new round of the Premier League. Antonio Iraola said that the individual players of Crystal Palace are very strong, so his team must reach the expected level in the game.


In the last round of the league, Bournemouth beat Fulham 1-0 after Semenyo scored at the beginning of the game. After the winless streak ended, Bournemouth is currently ranked 8th in the standings with 48 points and is still on track to qualify for Europe.


As for Crystal Palace, the "Eagles" lost 2-5 to Manchester City and 0-5 to Newcastle in previous games, so their morale was inevitably affected.


However, Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola believes that although Crystal Palace's recent performance has not been ideal, the threat posed by Glasner's team in the game should not be underestimated.


Antonio Iraola said, "This team has very threatening wingbacks, Tyreke Mitchell and Daniel Munoz. We also saw their characteristics last week, which is a bit like Fulham's Anthony Robinson. Although the formation structure is different, Anthony Robinson is an offensive full-back, and they are wing-backs, but their roles in the game are very similar. They are full of energy and run up and down. They can create threats from both the wing and the middle, and the individual abilities of the players are very good."


“Even Nketiah can make an impact after coming on as a substitute, as can Daichi Kamada. They have a lot of good players in their squad, but in fact every team in the Premier League has similar squad depth. This game will not be easy and it will be very difficult for our central defenders to face Mateta, but this is the level you need to reach in the Premier League.”


Andoni Iraola continued, "For me, Ismaila Sarr has performed well this season. He is very threatening when using space and has a very good understanding with Daniel Munoz. The threat they create on the right has always been great. I know this game will not be easy, but this is the competitive environment we are in and we must at least reach this level."


Speaking about the win against Fulham, Andoni Iraola shared, “We are still doing the same things, nothing has changed. This win means more in terms of the standings than a confidence boost because I think there are no big issues with the team’s form and we have to keep moving forward.”


"We all know that the next six games are difficult. But our goal is not far away, so the team must maximize the impact of opportunities."
