It was a big part of it."Isak missed pre-season last summer and trained at his former club Real Sociedad amid uncertainty around his Newcastle future, saying promises made to him there had been "broken".However, he struggled for goals in his first season at Anfield before a leg break ruled him out from December to April.This season the 26-year-old has already matched last season's tally of three Premier League goals, after only four games.Asked if there was ever a point last season when he regretted the move, Isak replied: "No, never. I would never think like that."He added: "[The leg break] was tough.
"So I'm just looking forward and feel really optimistic and excited about the season, and what it can bring to us."Over the summer, Isak made his World Cup bow for Sweden after managing just 1,032 minutes for Liverpool over 22 appearances last season. "And, on top of that, it was a massive experience, so that was perfect to do and come back here for pre-season and to start the season."New Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola, who replaced Arne Slot in the summer, has told Isak that he wants him to defend from the front as it is an "attacking weapon" for Liverpool."He asks me to be part of the defending but to defend in positions where, when we win the ball, we can counter quickly and get the ball forward to the offensive line," said Isak."He said 'score goals', but he wants me to defend.
They have made the most sprints in the Premier League this season."He came with his football - the way he wants to play and the high intensity which I think will benefit me, the club and the way the club wants to play football," added Isak.On the style of football since Iraola joined, Isak says: "I think that's what the team needs. I think if we can do that then we should score more goals."And Isak, who has 60 Premier League goals to his name, is determined to help bring silverware to Liverpool this year but insisted he is not someone who sets personal targets.
