Victor Munoz is settling in exceptionally well at Liverpool. He’s hit the ground running, so to speak, and having an important impact when it matters in games.
Once again on Saturday, the 23-year-old Spanish winger scored a second-half equaliser in the Reds’ 2-1 win at Brentford.
Not only that, but he switched to right-back when Jeremie Frimpong had to go off injured.
“Obviously Victor is a player that we know very well,” said head coach Andoni Iraola ahead of Tuesday night’s Champions League game with Villareal at Anfield. “I also have a great relationship with Alessio Lisci, who was his manager in the past season. He speaks also very well.
“Once you have a player, you really understand what he gives to the group. Attitude-wise, I think he is ready to help in whatever position we need him. He is playing right, left, the other day he played right-back.
“I think he is a player with hunger. He hasn’t played professionally in a big club like Liverpool but he has been in the academy of Barcelona, has been in the academy of Real Madrid, has trained with those teams. He knows the level that is required in those teams. Also with the national team he is having experience.
“So, he is a player that is adapting really well.”
