“I’m disappointed with this game and how it went”:

Swedish striker Alexander Isak has opened up about the challenges he faced during his high-profile move from Newcastle to Liverpool.

> “I’m relieved everything was sorted out before the international break—it allowed me to shift my attention fully back to football. It was a pretty unusual and tricky time for me personally, but situations like this help you grow and stay mentally strong by trusting the process. Not everyone knows the whole story, though—that’s a conversation for another day. As for today’s match, I’m frustrated with how it played out.”

> “Still, I’m optimistic about what lies ahead at the club. That’s the nature of football—you can’t control public opinion or media narratives. But I’m genuinely excited to be a Liverpool player. It’s a move I really wanted, and I’m very pleased it came through.”

> “Regarding saying goodbye to my teammates at Newcastle—I’d rather not go into too much detail. That part of my career is behind me now, but I left on good terms and never had any issues there.”
