Speaking to BBC Sport, Isak stated that Iraola's approach aligns with his own preferences and the team's overall goals. The Sweden international has already scored three goals in the Premier League this season, tallying goals at a rate of three per match, despite playing in a fraction of the minutes compared to last year. Iraola's tactics, which prioritize attacking play and quick transitions from defense to offense, have proven beneficial for Isak and the team, according to the player.

Isak believes that this system, which encourages rapid counterattacks, will ultimately benefit the entire team and lead to more goals.",
