One of Liverpool’s main objectives during this summer’s transfer window was to add much more pace to their team.Having seen Mohamed Salah’s top speed decline, and sold both Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz, the Reds looked slow up front last season, making them predictable and much easier for opposition defences to play against.The arrivals of Bradley Barcola and Victor Munoz in particular have helped to remedy that, with Alexander Isak now admitting that Barcola is even faster than he had first imagined. “I think he reached a crazy speed against Ipswich and it didn’t even look like he was going full throttle.

He’s really quick.”READ MORE: Florian Wirtz says one of Liverpool’s summer signings is a ‘top, top’ playerIsak hails Jacquet and Van DijkAs well as being asked about Barcola, Isak delivered a verdict on both Jeremy Jacquet and Virgil van Dijk during the video.Asked whether Van Dijk is the best central defender of the modern era, the 26-year-old agreed that this was a fact.“Yeah, I think that’s a good shout,” he said. “Last decade I think he’s one of the highest quality, he’s been keeping a top level for a very long time which is very difficult.

He’s a really experienced and smart defender, it’s always difficult to come up against him.”On Jacquet, Isak was asked whether he could win a 50/50 against Jacquet, and though he laughed that he’d have to back himself, he also reserved some special praise for his young French teammate.“I would win a 50/50 against Jeremy Jacquet? But he’s a really brilliant player.
