"Particularly I was pleased because in the 60 minutes he played he seemed to be quite fit to me. It wasn't as if after 10 minutes he was already very tired. He could play at this level quite well after one or two weeks of team sessions. So that was the thing and he can play football and that he's a joy to watch and that is not a surprise to me."
"He was fitter than I expected but the fans can't get their hopes too high. We play three times a week and that's a bit too much for him still. We have two great number nines and we're going to use both of them throughout their career here."
Alexander Isak made his Liverpool debut in the 3-2 win over Atletico Madrid, linking up well with team-mates and curling wide in the first half. Isak played 60 minutes and appeared fit, showing the ability to perform at this level after one or two weeks of team sessions. He did not score, as Virgil van Dijk headed a late winner. Caution was urged about raising expectations because a three-games-per-week schedule could be too demanding right now. Liverpool plans to rotate between two strong number nines and use both across their careers.
