Liverpool manager Arne Slaughter was full of praise for new signing Alexander Isak's opening goal following their 2-1 Carabao Cup win over Southampton.
In the post-match press conference, Slote revealed that time had flown by so quickly that one almost forgot that Isaac had only just made his debut. Slote said: "I even asked him if he made his debut against Burnley two weeks ago and he replied only last week."
"When players can't play the full 90 minutes consecutively, it's usually harder to score quickly. After all, if you can play the full 90 minutes for three consecutive games, you naturally have more chances of scoring. But if someone like Isaac only plays 45, 30, or 45 minutes, his efficiency will be limited."
Despite this, Slaughter is still satisfied with Isaac's performance and took the initiative to emphasize a point that is rarely mentioned by the outside world: "He is the record transfer fee holder in England, which will bring extra pressure. If he doesn't score for a long time, public opinion will definitely ferment. But now he has scored his first goal, which is a very positive sign."
"Once he's played enough games for Sweden and has returned to the club to get consistent playing time, his 'pre-season' will be truly over and we'll be able to see a more complete performance. But now you can see that he can contribute to the team. I believe this is just the beginning."
Isaac's goal not only brought Liverpool victory, but also relieved the pressure of his record transfer. As his form gradually improves, he is expected to play a more crucial role in Liverpool's front line.
