Yes Andoni Iraola I had to make a perfect calendar for the first ten days of Premier League, They will almost certainly not choose to face a top six team in the standings. But if the Basque coach had been told that he would climb this mountain and find at the top a bag with eight points, perhaps his demeanor would have changed.
Until two weeks ago, it was a warm start to the season for Bournemouthwith two wins, two draws and a loss against Chelsea, Liverpool and Leicester. Nothing is further from the truth, Bournemouth This is a team built to last. Without much trouble, but to maintain. The team is thirteenth, without complications or fear of relegation, but the calendar is threatening. They appeared Arsenal, Aston Villa and Manchester City on the horizon.
Arsenal and Manchester Cityundefeated, while the Aston Villa They made the best start to the season in their history and are also leaders in the Champions League.
It was a real peak of difficulty for him. Bournemouthwhich also came from defeating an inferior rival such as Leicester. With eight points, not adding to ‘Everest’ would leave them on the brink of relegation currently marking the Town of Ipswich with five units.
But the ‘Cherries’ responded first by winning the Arsenal in a match marked by the expulsion of William Saliba at half time and which they could not seal, given how barricaded the ‘Gunners’ were, until the last twenty minutes, when Ryan Christie after playing strategy, and Justin Kluivertfrom a punishment, ended in the inability of those Arsenal.
The visit to Villa Park looked even worse, as Birmingham deserved better and it was almost surprising that they didn’t take the lead until the 79th minute, through John McGinn. In the last play of the game, with time almost up, Evanilson, With a lateral foul that he ruled, he saved a point that was like glory to those Iraola very little of those of Unai Emery.
And the icing on the cake came this Saturday, when the Bournemouth he beat the four-time champion, who despite a carload of injuries fielded a luxury eleven, including Erling Haaland, Ilkay Gündogan, Phil Foden, Bernardo Silva, a Matheus Nunes it’s on the roll…
In the amount of Antoine Semenyo and Evanilsonhe Bournemouth, who didn’t give up 2-1 until the 82nd minute, fought back against the ‘Sky Blues’, shot further on goal, forcing more saves from Ederson and without resorting to any cruelty. Maybe the lack of wardrobe hurts those of Pep Guardiola but the truth is the Bournemouth rlevied a legendary curse against him Manchester City, against whom he had not scored in his fourteen previous matches.
Since Eddie Howe brought them to the Premier in 2015, Bournemouth have always lost against City, on six occasions by three goals or more, highlighting last season’s 6-1. That win, surely, was a turning point in Iraola’s career at Bournemouth as the board did not rush his sacking, keeping him in the position and he went unbeaten for nearly two months with six wins in seven games.
Its purpose Bournemouth is nothing more than the continued maintenance of the category, but with Iraolasitting in ninth position with fifteen units, everything indicates that it will be achieved without suffering for the second campaign in a row
