Iraola urges Bournemouth to seize every opportunity to win against Manchester United


The "Cherries" Bournemouth will host the "Red Devils" Manchester United at home in this round of the Premier League. Andoni Iraola said that facing the ambitious Manchester United, his team must seize any chance to win in the game.


Looking back at the record of head-to-head matches, Bournemouth has achieved 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in the last 5 matches against Manchester United, including the first round of this season where they defeated Manchester United 3-0 after goals from Dean Huissen, Kuruivert and Semenyo.


In addition, Manchester United lost 0-1 to Wolves at home in the last round of the league, and has only achieved 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses in the past 5 rounds. They will have to participate in the UEFA Europa League semi-final against Bilbao next week, so Amorim's team will definitely strive for a victory to restore the confidence and morale of the players.


Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola said in an interview, "I think they will perform well. I believe they will come with a strong desire to win, especially after losing the last game because they lost to Wolves a few days ago. Usually after losing, the team will want to react and perform well in the next game."


“If you ask Amorim, he will tell you that the team wants to be in the best condition for the next game, and the best way to do that is to win at Bournemouth and win back confidence with a good performance. They will definitely give their best, but I hope we can give them a difficult game, and we have to seize our chances and try to win this game.”


Talking about the performance in the 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace, Andoni Iraola said, "In the last game, we did have difficulty creating chances. We played against a team that was very compact from the beginning of the first half and defended very deep. They left us almost no space."


"But I actually like this type of game because at least it can ensure that the opponent will not create too many threats, and the initiative of the entire game will be in my hands. In the end, it depends on whether I can seize the key moments in offense."


Antonio Iraola added, “In the Premier League, I think it’s not easy to have the ball in the opponent’s half for almost the entire game like in the last game. Even with 11 players against 11 in the first half, we still have room for improvement in the final third.”
