'It was not easy': Alexander Isak reflects on first year at Liverpool after Ipswich brace

[p]The 26-year-old took his tally for the new season to three with a lightning-quick brace, [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/ipswich-thqhB2MB/liverpool-lId4TMwf/summary/stats/?mid=CIuslOyP"]scoring within the first nine minutes at Portman Road[/a].[/p][p]Just over a year after joining [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/liverpool/lId4TMwf/"]Liverpool[/a] for £125 million, [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/isak-alexander/p41IV42c/"]Isak[/a] has already equalled the number of Premier League goals he scored for the Reds last season.[/p][p]Poor timing and a lengthy injury were the main issues; he failed to hit the ground running, but he believes he has left them behind.[/p][p]Speaking to [i]Sky Sports[/i], he said:[b] "We were waiting for the first win. We talked about starting the game good, which we haven't done recently, so it was perfect for us to get two good quick goals."[/b][/p][embed guid="4f64f9ab-a881-444a-9020-6110f6e76235" url="https://x.com/Flashscorecom/status/2095978658720587845" social-type="twitter" /][p]On the result today: [b]"With a normal pre-season, I think we are starting to get to the way we want to play. To be offensive and attack the defence. I think we did that today. We scored two, and we could of scored more."[/b][/p][p]Reflecting on last year: [b]"It was not easy. It was obviously a long injury and a difficult season in general. I was thinking to have a good World Cup, and then to start off the season well, which I think I have done now. It's kind of behind me, but it wasn't easy."[/b][/p][infobox id="02b45e73-9abc-454d-882a-650a1a621f7d" /]
