'Liverpool fans can expect aggressive play' - Kerkez

[Getty Images] Milos Kerkez expects Liverpool to return to a full-throttle style of play under new head coach Andoni Iraola. The Reds were known for 'heavy metal' football under Jurgen Klopp, with some fans frustrated at a drop in intensity under Arne Slot - who was sacked at the end of last season despite winning the Premier League in his only other campaign at Anfield. "I think the heavy Liverpool team that Liverpool used to be – press, front foot, everyone in front," the left-back told the club website . "Like I said, front-foot, full pressing. "Anfield, obviously, is going to push us a lot, give us also that energy. When they see us pushing a lot, they're going to give us big support home and away. "So the big difference is going to be, I think, the pressure, the pressing, the aggressiveness in our game this year." Kerkez also said he is trying to mentor younger players on the club's US tour, where the Reds recorded a win over Sunderland on Saturday. He added: "It's my fourth year in the Premier League. Obviously my first year was development, it was tough. I needed to get in the gym a bit more. "That's normal when you come to the biggest league in the world – it is so far ahead of any league. You need to build that physicality, you need to build the legs. "We're all helping the young lads. There is a lot of quality and we need to help them. They will improve. "I'm really, really happy with everyone and we build on this."
