“He is able to relate to how someone is feeling mentally as well as trying to help people on the pitch, ”Iwobi told Liverpool to echo.
”For me, when I was going through a difficult period where I wasn’t playing [under Benitez] and coming off the back of the Cup of Nations he was literally talking to me just saying ‘go again, I know the qualities you have.
“He kept saying ‘express yourself, play freely’ – and that is what I have been doing.”
The Merseysiders will begin the 2022/23 season with a home game against Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea.
Iwobi is also looking forward to the new season and has refused to set a target for himself.
“I haven’t set myself any targets yet but I only played consistently towards the back end of last season, so now I want to maintain that for the whole of this season,” he added.
