Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola admits to sometimes reading newspapers.

The Spaniard is aware that he should be focusing on his job and not worrying about what is said regarding his team.

But Iraola acknowledges that he is human and that he does have a curiosity to see what is being written about himself or the players.

Iraola told the Daily Echo: “It's difficult to say.

“I try not to give too much importance to the outside, I try to enjoy it.

“It is not always easy, but I think it's the way I see the manager.

“We have to enjoy, even if we know that there will be tough times, but I have felt respected always.

“In Spain, here, the media, the supporters.

“I feel respected - obviously you will receive bad criticism – it's normal.

“Because when I go to watch my team I've supported always, you can shout the same and you can disagree with the decisions.

“It's something that we have to accept.

“It's part of your job - you have to accept it."

“It's difficult to have a complete separation because we also read the news," added Iraola.

“Because I have to prepare for the opposition, and I want to read news from the opposition and who is available, who has trained.

“And then you read your own news.

“It's difficult, but I try not to give too much importance, try to keep the noise outside even when it's good or it's bad, because it affects you.

“It's better not to know.

“I've been a player for a lot of years, and we also have this experience that helps us too.

“You can accept that sometimes if you don't receive critiques, if you don't have pressure, it's not normal, it's not a good thing."
