One of the first things you notice in Alex Inglethorpe’s office at Liverpool‘s AXA Training Centre is a framed image gifted by Trent Alexander-Arnold.
It is a picture from 2019 of the academy director and player watching a game together. Alexander-Arnold left for a new challenge at Real Madrid last year, after 20 years on Merseyside, but his story is one of inspiration for everyone that enters Liverpool‘s
Iraola’s preference is to name the team on the morning of the game and he saves the post-match debrief with his players for the day after the match.
There is a sense of pragmatism with his media interactions, too, after a situation where his comments to LFC TV following a pre-season friendly against Monaco were widely reported.
Iraola conceded Liverpool had run out of steam after 30 minutes and did

Liverpool have signed Spain winger Victor Munoz – and told RB Leipzig that they will pay a package worth about 100m euros (£86m) for Yan Diomande.
The Reds confirmed the signing of Munoz from Osasuna after triggering his 40m euro (£34.5m) release clause.
Munoz is part of Spain’s World Cup squad, with Liverpool sending staff to the United States to conduct his medical on Wednesday.
Diomande is also at the
Slot’s squad selection for Wednesday’s EFL Cup defeat by Crystal Palace sparked huge debate.
He made 10 changes from Liverpool’s last outing, handing out two debuts and naming three teenagers in his starting line-up, plus a further five among his substitutes.
The likes of Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Dominik Szoboszlai, Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz, Mohamed Salah and Hugo Ekitike were all absent as the Reds made a tame exit
Brentford heaped further misery on Premier League champions Liverpool with a fully deserved victory at Gtech Community Stadium.
