In the first match of the UEFA Champions League, Liverpool faced Atletico Madrid, with Alexander Isak making his debut for the team. The head coach gave his thoughts on Isak’s performance.
Details: Liverpool manager Arne Slot shared his views on Alexander Isak’s first game against Atletico Madrid, where Liverpool won 3-2.
“I was impressed with his condition during those 60 minutes. This shows the difference between signing a 20-year-old from another league and a 25 or 26-year-old who is already used to this league. Even though he’s only trained for two weeks, he has played so many matches that he was ready for those 60 minutes,” Slot said.

The coach noted that Isak’s fitness was noteworthy, while his skill on the ball was expected:
“You don’t need to be a coach to see his talent. It’s always good when a player starts this way. We will gradually increase his playing time, and I can say he won’t play a full 90 minutes against Everton.”
The match against Everton is set for September 20 at 13:30 Central European Time.
Reminder: Rio Ngumoha became the youngest player to ever play for Liverpool in European competitions.
