Bournemouth boss Iraola: Wolves clash not about O'Neil and I

Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola insists the narrative against Wolves is about league positions.

Iraola was asked about his battle against ex-Cherries manager and now Wolves boss Gary O'Neil.

The latter lost his job to make way for Iraola, but the Spaniard believes each should be focused on their own team.

“For us it's just a match where we have chances to get more points," said Iraola, when asked about battling O'Neil.

“We have a very difficult schedule in the last games of the season.

“We have to try to take every opportunity we have.

“We face a team that is very close to us and obviously it is always important. We are fighting for positions and that is the important thing from the game I would say.

“I think both seasons have been very good, for both clubs. But we still haven't finished. We want to finish strong and finish with good sensations, looking also for next season.

“Now it is has been difficult preparation, with just two days and travelling twice.

“I hope we are ready again for tomorrow, because it is going to be another strong fight, like the Villa one."
