Isak: We obviously wanted more points, but staying unbeaten is still very good

In the third round of the Premier League, Liverpool defeated Ipswich Town 2-0 away from home. Isak, who scored twice in the match, was interviewed by Viaplay after the game.

Okay, now we present you with the Man of the Match trophy. Congratulations. Alexander, tell us about those two goals and help us analyze them.

Okay, both goals came after we won the ball back through high pressing in the attacking area. We discussed before the match that we had to strike quickly, move the ball forward quickly and launch attacks. We did that, won back possession, and in those situations found me in the attacking area, allowing me to score the two goals naturally.

Is this style of play more suitable for you? Is this a tactic that manager Iraola has specifically tried in order to put you in the best position?

Absolutely, without a doubt. On one hand, when the opponent's defense has not yet organized itself and may be a little disorganized, hitting them through counterattacks and quick attacks suits my characteristics very well. But on the other hand, this is also part of Liverpool's tradition to some extent. They have always valued attacking football and been good at using counterattacks. So this suits every one of us.

Of course, last season everyone was discussing the injury issues, and it was not an ideal season for Liverpool. Compared with last season, how are you feeling now? In terms of your physical condition, mentality, and everything else?

Yes, I feel very good. Everything is great. We have a new coach and several new players have joined. We have made a very good start, so it is very positive, and we will only look forward.

Is taking five points from the first three matches a good start?

Obviously we wanted to get more points. We are unbeaten at the moment, which is very good, but clearly we wanted to win all the matches. However, we have at least achieved our first win now, and it is something we should maintain and continue to improve from.

Also, Barcola has joined the team. For a forward like you, he must be a dream partner, right?

Absolutely. We all know very clearly the incredible ability he has. We firmly believe that his arrival will make our entire team stronger.

Thank you very much, and good luck in the upcoming Champions League.

Thank you.
