Iraola praised a Liverpool player for scoring a world-class goal that led the team to advance in the Carabao Cup.
Andoni Iraola, manager of Liverpool, expressed satisfaction with his team's performance after they defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 at Anfield in the Carabao Cup third round last night, securing a place in the last 16. He also praised Dominik Szoboszlai for scoring a stunning world-class goal.
Iraola said, "It's true that I changed many players, but I felt it was necessary because we noticed a lack of energy in the previous game. We needed fresh players. I'm glad every player showed intensity and aggression. I think we played well in many aspects and I'm happy we deserved the win and progression to the next round."
"I think the three goals we scored were very good. The first and second goals were very important for us, but the third was clearly world-class. It was magnificent. What's special about Szoboszlai is that before he shoots, you believe he might score. With other players, you might think 'it's too far,' but with Szoboszlai, everyone thinks he can score."
Regarding the young players' performance, "They gave their all. They showed great enthusiasm and determination to win their duels, which made them feel their role. I'm truly pleased with them."
