And hopefully, I can continue to do well."Now I feel good, very good.

But it's hard to put your finger on what your maximum is, you never know."But I have nothing to complain about right now when it comes to my physical status."Isak has demonstrated early signs of forming an effective partnership with fellow forward Viktor Gyokeres of Arsenal, with the Liverpool striker adopting a deeper position.And he added: "It's felt good. It's worked well in the matches."It's clear that you're a bit more of a playmaker, playing others forward instead of being the one making the deep runs yourself.

But I'm enjoying it there."We are two talented players who want the best for the team. We get along really well, just like the whole team."Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Alexander IsakFIFA World CupLiverpool FC
