Revitalised Isak in a 'good place' at Liverpool, says Iraola
LONDON: Andoni Iraola said Alexander Isak is in “a really good place” as the Liverpool striker looks to bounce back from his miserable debut season at Anfield.
Andoni Iraola, Liverpool's manager, believes Alexander Isak is in a great place at Anfield as the Swedish striker aims to recover from his disappointing debut season at the club. Last year, Isak made an expensive £125 million transfer from Newcastle but only managed four goals across all competitions. However, in the current season, the 26-year-old has scored three goals in just four games.
Iraola is impressed with Isak's adaptation to his tactics since joining Liverpool, and the Spaniard is pleased with the improvements he sees from game to game. Physically, Isak is in good form, moving with confidence and demonstrating his technical prowess. The striker has started all four matches so far this term and has logged 332 minutes, a stark contrast to last season when injuries plagued him, including a fractured ankle and fibula.
Isak himself has expressed satisfaction with his start to the season, stating that he is feeling good and wants to maintain the same rhythm. He also believes the team is improving overall. For Liverpool to improve upon their disappointing fifth-place finish last season in the Premier League, Isak's form is of utmost importance. Iraola hopes that Isak can form a strong connection with newly-signed France forward Bradley Barcola, who recently joined Liverpool from Paris Saint-Germain and should be available for the upcoming match against Fulham at Anfield.
