Victor Munoz On His Aims For His Debut Campaign In The Premier League
This will be a hugely challenging year for young Victor Munoz, as the Spanish winger will be looking to acclimatise to both playing and living in a new country, but Munoz sounds like he is going to take this in his stride and he explains his excitement and eagerness to grow as a player with Liverpool this season:
“I can't wait to get under way with playing in the league season. But in terms of my aims and objectives, initial ones are to get used to the pace and the speed of the game here in England, to grow as a player and also to just try and improve with every day that goes by in training and then in games.”
And it is great to see that not only is Victor Munoz aware of the challenges of adapting to a new team, in a new league, but he is ready to take this on head first. That driven and focused mentality on improving as a player every training session and subsequently matches as well, is exactly what Liverpool fans will love to hear.

One of the main attractions for any player moving to Liverpool is the prospect of playing at Anfield, and Victor Munoz is no exception to this and he has spoken about his first impressions of Anfield, an experience he has had during pre-season:
“My first impressions of getting that taste of things at Anfield were amazing. To see the stadium with that amount of fans in for a pre-season game was fantastic, and I think things are only going to get better and better.”
Victor Munoz Reflecting On The Last Eight Months Of His Career
As previously mentioned, Victor Munoz has had a roller coaster of a season ranging from picking up unlucky injuries at unfortunate times, to going on to be in the World Cup winning Spain squad, but Munoz has a positive outlook on the last 8 months and explains that he is the type of person to take everything in his stride:
Reuters/Jessie Alcheh“Stuff's happened really, really quickly this whole year, but as a person I try to take these things in my stride and calmly. But it has been an amazing year with everything that's happened and everything's been really positive as well.
I've been very happy how things went, playing in Spain and then getting the chance to represent the country at the World Cup – that was like a dream come true, being a part of all that
And now signing for Liverpool, it means that the year's going to continue and hopefully end in a real positive way as well. I can't wait to get under way with playing in the league season.”
Victor Munoz on Andoni Iraola
A man who likely played a major role in bringing Victor Munoz to Liverpool, amid high interest from Newcastle United, is Andoni Iraola.

“He can explain all the tactical stuff that he wants to get over to me, explain to me certain game situations and runs and movements that he wants me to do alongside my teammates and to fit in with them.
I'm totally aware that he really favours this constant high press and he's always searching to find space in behind defences, and I think that's something which I'm hopeful will suit my game.
Certainly the training sessions that we've had up to now, we've been really trying to work on all this stuff that I mentioned and put it into practice.”
