## Resource

Rog sits down with new Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola to break down the approach that he plans to bring to Anfield this season, what he's seen from Florian Wirtz, Virgil Van Dijk, and Conor Bradley in training thus far, and how he deals with the pressure of managing one of the biggest clubs in the world. Plus, Rog and Andoni discuss winning over the Kop and why the city of Liverpool reminds him of his own Basque upbringing.
