Put to him 2024-25 could be harder, given other teams will have worked out how Cherries play, head coach Iraola said: “Yes, obviously.
“The opposition will know our main idea and what to expect from us, but I don’t think that is a bad thing.
“I think it is good to have an identity, a clear idea of how you want to do things.
“But from there, there are a lot of small changes we can make to have more options, also player dependent we can have different approaches.
“But I don’t think it’s a bad thing to have a clear idea.”
