"Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has spoken out on what he told new signing Alexander Isak as he made his Reds debut against Atletico Madrid last night. Liverpool ended up winning 3-2 thanks to a late goal from Van Dijk, but it wasn't the most exciting debut for Isak in the end. Still, big things will be expected of the Sweden international after the world class form he showed during his time at Newcastle United."
"Speaking in the mixed zone after the game, Van Dijk gave some insight into what advice he gave Isak ahead of his first appearance for Liverpool. Van Dijk didn't seem keen to give too much away to the reporter that asked the question, but admitted he told Isak to more or less do his thing, but to remember his duties by linking up play and pressing for the team."
Virgil van Dijk told Alexander Isak to play his game while remembering to link up play and press for the team ahead of his Liverpool debut. Isak made his Reds debut against Atletico Madrid as Liverpool won 3-2 thanks to a late Van Dijk goal. The debut was not particularly exciting for Isak despite high expectations after world-class form at Newcastle United. Isak joined Liverpool on Deadline Day, faced a delay due to the international break, and arrived without a pre-season. Isak now faces the Merseyside Derby at Anfield against Everton, a high-pressure fixture early in his Liverpool career.
