Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola says he doesn't regard results as important in preseason.
The Cherries were beaten 3-1 by Atalanta on Saturday.
Iraola told the Daily Echo: In preseason, results are not so important.
I prefer that there are good sensations.
I prefer that players start to feel what we want from them, and they improve physically so they can do what we are demanding from them.
And this is the main focus.
It's true that the beginning of the season is not so far, so you have to start also competing and trying to be a tough team to beat.
But right now, the most important thing is that the players get the idea and they get ready for the first game against West Ham."
