<title>Liverpool transfer news as Reds identify new Ibrahima Konate replacement option (Liverpool.com)</title>
<link>https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/liverpool-transfer-news-reds-identify-32498423</link>
<description>Liverpool is reportedly considering Ronald Araujo as a possible replacement for Ibrahima Konate, should the Frenchman end up leaving Anfield at the end of his contract next summer.Araujo's stock has fallen in Catalonia, and he is no longer a guaranteed starter under Hansi Flick, with Pau Cubarsi and Eric Garcia emerging as the club's preferred center-back partnership of late. Fichajes says that Liverpool views Araujo as a a player capable of adapting to the demands of the Premier League, while Araujo's camp has reportedly not ruled out a change of scenery for the player, who is keen to play more frequently. It is claimed that several clubs are interested in Araujo, but Liverpool is the most advanced of those clubs in terms of their analysis of his contract situation in Catalonia. Read More[BREAK]Liverpool is said to be "keener than ever" on Araujo, whose power and speed the Reds are believed to deem ideal for Arne Slot's team. Barcelona would reportedly demand $50 million (â\x82¬59 million) for the 26-year-old, who has made 24 appearances for Uruguay. Barca's fiercest rival, Real Madrid, is interested in signing Liverpool center-back Konate, which would free up space for a new center-back in the Reds' squad. Konate has not signed a new contract at Liverpool since he joined the club in 2021, and he is apparently being eyed for a move to the Bernabeu on a free transfer. Madrid has made a habit of signing high-profile free agents in recent years, with David Alaba, Antonio Rudiger and Kylian Mbappe all picked up on free transfers.[BREAK]Ibrahima Konate could leave Liverpool for free next year[BREAK]Trent Alexander-Arnold, too, would have moved to the Spanish capital for nothing had this summer's Club World Cup not started while he was still originally scheduled to be contracted to Liverpool. As things stand, Konate will be free to sign a pre-contract agreement with a foreign club from January 1, which was also the case with Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, and Virgil van Dijk earlier this year. It is not clear whether Liverpool would entertain a bid for Konate in January, but E-Noticies says Madrid is considering making a â\x82¬40 million ($47 million) offer for the defender. That is a lot of money for a defender who would be available for free six months later, so Liverpool would have to seriously consider taking the money were such an offer to be lodged.</description>

<title>Mohamed Salah shuts down lazy narrative as Diego Simeone drama overshadows Liverpool truth (Echo)</title>
<link>https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/mohamed-salah-ends-lazy-narrative-32498686</link>
<description>True, Salah hasnâ\x80\x99t been close to his devastating best as he adapts to working alongside a new-look strikeforce without Trent Alexander-Arnold linking up behind him.And he was probably one of Liverpoolâ\x80\x99s least effective players at Burnley until smashing home the dramatic late winning penalty.[BREAK]That, though, was an example of how even a half-firing Salah can still make key contributions, which continued here during a blistering opening from the Reds against Atletico Madrid.Okay, the free-kick that deflected in off Andy Robertson for the opener absolutely wasnâ\x80\x99t straight off the training ground.[BREAK]Set-piece coach Aaron Briggs canâ\x80\x99t take any credit for that.But Salahâ\x80\x99s second goal moments later was vintage, drifting in off the right and exchanging passes with Ryan Gravenberch before holding off a gaggle of defenders to stroke home into the far corner.It made him the first Liverpool player since Steve McManaman almost 30 years previous to score and assist in a game inside the opening six minutes.Salah twice came close later in the first half and struck the inside of the post as the Reds sought a third.[BREAK]He remains the player opponents fear.Nothing lucky for LiverpoolThere will come a day when Liverpool win a game in somewhat orthodox manner.[BREAK]This, though, was not that day.But there was in truth a sense of inevitability about the manner in which, through sheer force of will, the Reds dragged themselves over the line in dramatic fashion for a fifth successive time.That canâ\x80\x99t go on forever.[BREAK]However, thereâ\x80\x99s nothing fortunate about what Liverpool are continuing to deliver, and this was perhaps the most notable case in point.Having been pegged back by Marcos Llorenteâ\x80\x99s deflected equaliser nine minutes from time, Arne Slotâ\x80\x99s side could easily have wilted.Instead, they rolled up their sleeves and, attacking the Kop end, began to turn the screw on a Atletico defence their boss Diego Simeone later admitted was tiring.And the relentless pressure after a succession of corners finally told when a quality, driven delivery from Dominik Szoboszlai on the right flank was met by a thunderous header from Virgil van Dijk.For Szoboszlai, it was another example of his ongoing excellent start to the season and an ideal manner in which to mark his 100th appearance for the club.Champions startLiverpool discovered the hard way last season that a strong showing in the league phase of the Champions League doesnâ\x80\x99t necessarily translate into an easier tie when the knockout stage comes around.But while the dramatic finale and Simeoneâ\x80\x99s subsequent red card will dominate the headlines, the key factor for Slotâ\x80\x99s side is they are able to take their early-season momentum into Saturdayâ\x80\x99s Anfield derby against Everton.The defensive central quartet of goalkeeper Alisson Becker, centre-backs Van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate and number six Gravenberch worked well as a unit, the latter in particular again impressive.Article continues belowBut, after successive clean sheets, that Liverpool have shipped two goals for a fourth time in six games â\x80\x93 and coughed up a two-goal lead for a third occasion â\x80\x93 will be a concern, not helped by the enforced chopping and changing in the full-back areas and a recalibrated midfield.There is confidence it will eventually gel.</description>

<title>Liverpool news: Julian Alvarez agent speaks out while Liverpool clinch major cash boost (Echo)</title>
<link>https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-news-transfers-julian-alvarez-32497906</link>
<description>Arne Slot has presided over a good start to Liverpool's Premier League campaign this season(Image: DARREN STAPLES/AFP via Getty Images)Despite several marquee signings during the summer transfer window, Liverpool haven't exactly burst out of the blocks this campaign.[BREAK]By his own elevated standards, Salah has appeared below par, and will be eager for both his luck, and Liverpool's form, to improve imminently.READ MORE:Trent Alexander-Arnold learns injury timeline after devastating blow ahead of Liverpool returnREAD MORE:Darwin Nunez's one-word reaction on social media as he sends reminder to LiverpoolThe Anfield squad took to the pitch in the Champions League on Wednesday night, but now their focus shifts to the Premier League, where they're set to face Everton this Saturday.[BREAK]The speculation linking Alvarez to Anfield came before the Reds' eventual signing of Alexander Isak from Newcastle United for a record-breaking fee of Â£125mJulian Alvarez of Atletico Madrid(Image: Diego Souto/Getty Images)Now, the forward's agent, Fernando Hidalgo, has addressed the speculation that Arne Slot's team were after his client."There were no official offers from Liverpool to sign Julian last season, and everything that has been said in this regard is false," Hidalgo revealed to Erem News.Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal are amongst the clubs set to benefit from a slice of Â£259m through the FIFA Club Benefits Programme.The scheme is linked to the 2026 World Cup, and will also see FIFA compensating clubs for releasing their players for World Cup qualifying matches.[BREAK]FIFA has boosted the original financial package associated with this initiative, rising from the Â£153m available following the World Cup in the Middle East three years ago.Previously, only nations who reached the finals of that tournament received compensation, but the approach has changed this time.[BREAK]With the goal of establishing a more inclusive system for football globally, FIFA president Gianni Infantino claims the project will help deliver a "groundbreaking" 2026 World Cup.""The enhanced edition of the FIFA Club Benefits Programme for the FIFA World Cup 2026 is going a step further by recognising financially the huge contribution that so many clubs and their players around the world make to the staging of both the qualifiers and the final tournament," he said."A record USD 355 million will be distributed to clubs for the release of their players, and this reinforces our solid collaboration with the European Club Association and clubs worldwide as we all look forward to a ground-breaking and globally inclusive edition of the FIFA World Cup next year."According to FIFA statistics, England was the nation most compensated through the scheme in 2022, with a whopping Â£32.6m going to clubs.[BREAK]Spain, Germany, Italy and France were the other nations to significantly gain from it.Former Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to be sidelined for six weeks after sustaining a hamstring injury during a Champions League match against Marseille.The 26-year-old defender took to the pitch for the Galacticos against the French team on Tuesday night, but was forced to leave the field after just five minutes due to an injury to his left leg.He moved to the Spanish club in June when his contract with Liverpool ended - Real Madrid paid the Reds Â£10m for his early release.Trent Alexander-Arnold was injured during Real Madrid's Champions League clash with Marseille(Image: Mateo Villalba Sanchez, Getty Images)He was not selected for the England squad for recent matches against Andorra and Serbia.</description>

<link>https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/alexander-isak-atletico-champions-league-32498271</link>
<description>For Liverpool to come to the conclusion that committing as much as $169 million (Â£125 million) on Alexander Isak was the right call, the numbers had to add up.[BREAK]Only Mohamed Salah netted more than Isak did in the Premier League last season.[BREAK] "The main challenge he has is to become so fit that he is first of all ready to do what he did last season," the Liverpool head coach said on Tuesday ahead of the game.[BREAK]Alexander Isak and Arne Slot after Liverpool 3-2 Atletico Madrid.[BREAK] "The moment Isak is fit and match-fit and can play 90, the next step is playing three times in a week 90 minutes, and then the next step is going one step further in terms of pressing," Slot said.[BREAK] Like with Florian Wirtz, there is much more to come</description>

<title>Manchester City victory despite weather conditions (Anfield HQ)</title>
<link>https://www.anfieldhq.com/manchester-city-victory-despite-weather-conditions.htm</link>
<description>Manchester City, although right during the match, the weather conditions worsened, managed to defeat West Ham United.[BREAK]During the match, heavy snow began to fall, making it almost impossible to continue the game, but despite the weather conditions, Manchester City was able to win with a score of 2: 1. The situation in West Ham Unitedâ\x80\x99s Manchester City was very like another showdown that was also to take place on the same day.[BREAK]The first match took place in such extreme conditions that it was sometimes difficult to see from the stands on the pitch.[BREAK]The delay was five minutes because the stadium workers were trying to clean the stadium to somehow make the game easier for the teams. Experts point out that Manchester Cityâ\x80\x99s performance under these conditions was amazing.[BREAK]They were able to realize some very good chances given that the conditions of the game were dire.[BREAK]In the first half, it is almost impossible to play a normal game, but the teams succeeded. The management of the stadium noted that only the gardeners who took care of the field are obliged.</description>

<title>Cancellation of the match between Burnley and Tottenham due to bad weather (Anfield HQ)</title>
<link>https://www.anfieldhq.com/cancellation-of-the-match-between-burnley-and-tottenham-due-to-bad-weather.htm</link>
<description>A soccer match that was supposed to take place between Sunday between the two teams like Burnley and Tottenham did not take place.[BREAK]No one expected such a development of events, so the decision to cancel the match was announced only an hour before its start. Both teams arrived outside the football field, but due to worsening weather conditions and heavy snowfall, both teams announced that they were forced to cancel the match.[BREAK]It was snowing heavily on the pitch, making it impossible to play fair between football clubs. The stadium staff tried to do everything they could to keep the match going despite the bad weather conditions.[BREAK]But after consulting with managers and judges, it was decided that the best way out of the situation was to cancel the match and postpone it to a later date. Both teams almost published posts on their social networks.[BREAK]It was noted that the reason for such a decision was the constant snowfall. One of the experts said that such a decision was the best way out of the situation because no matter how hard the stadium workers tried, the situation only got worse.[BREAK]The expert also said that everyone watching football wants to enjoy the match.</description>

<title>Liverpool news: Agent addresses transfer links as club set for major cash injection (Mirror)</title>
<link>https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/liverpool-news-agent-addresses-transfer-35918504</link>
<description>Their performances, however, have left much to be desired.The Reds left it very late against Burnley, who operated with a tough low block for the entirety of the match.[BREAK]There were not many clear-cut chances but obviously we didnâ\x80\x99t give anything away either, so we have to keep going and keep the belief, and I think we just did that.The Anfield outfit played in the Champions League on Wednesday night, but now attentions turn to the Premier League, where they will be facing Everton on Saturday.[BREAK]Here's the latest news on the club, courtesy of Mirror Football.READ MORE:Alisson concedes Liverpool are missing two players after Mohamed Salah admissionREAD MORE:Federico Chiesa Liverpool absence defended as Arne Slot title claim madeJulian Alvarez's agent has confirmed that Liverpool did not make an approach for the Atletico Madrid forward during the summer transfer window.It was claimed the Reds were pursuing the former Manchester City star at the start of the summer before turning their attention to other targets.Liverpool landed Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt in a deal that could reach Â£79million and the French striker has made a strong start to life at Anfield.The rumours connecting Alvarez to Anfield came before the Reds' eventual signing of Alexander Isak from Newcastle United for a club-record fee of Â£125million.Now the forward's agent, Fernando Hidalgo, has addressed suggestions that Arne Slot's side were pursuing his client."There were no official offers from Liverpool to sign Julian last season, and everything that has been said in this regard is false," Hidalgo told Erem News."Last summer there were no offers because Atletico de Madrid didn't want to sell the player, so negotiations didn't take place."Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal are among the clubs that will benefit from a share of Â£259million thanks to the FIFA Club Benefits Programme.[BREAK]The scheme is tied with the 2026 World Cup, and it will also involved FIFA paying clubs for releasing their players for World Cup qualifiers.FIFA has expanded the original cash injection involved with this initiative, up from the Â£153million on offer following the World Cup in the Middle East three years ago.[BREAK]Only nations who made the finals of that tournament were compensated, but things are different this time around.Aiming to create a more diverse system for football worldwide, FIFA president Gianni Infantino says the project will help to drive towards a "groundbreaking" 2026 World Cup."The enhanced edition of the FIFA Club Benefits Programme for the FIFA World Cup 2026 is going a step further by recognising financially the huge contribution that so many clubs and their players around the world make to the staging of both the qualifiers and the final tournament," he said."A record USD 355 million will be distributed to clubs for the release of their players, and this reinforces our solid collaboration with the European Club Association and clubs worldwide as we all look forward to a groundbreaking and globally inclusive edition of the FIFA World Cup next year."According to FIFA stats, England were most-compensated through the scheme in 2022, with Â£32.6million going to clubs.[BREAK]Spain, Germany, Italy and France were the other nations to benefit from it.Former Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold is out for six weeks, after suffering a hamstring injury against Marseilles in the Champions League.The 26-year-old defender started for the Galacticos against the French side on Tuesday night, but left the field after only five minutes, injuring his left leg.</description>

<title>Liverpool have a new psychological weapon as only one question now remains (Echo)</title>
<link>https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/match-reports/liverpool-new-psychological-weapon-one-32498660</link>
<description>But in all likelihood, the Liverpool boss probably never doubted the outcome as his team left it late yet again to secure another big victory.For what is now the fifth game running, the Premier League champions scored their winning goal in the closing stages, this time to give lift-off to their efforts to bring home a seventh European Cup and prove that their flair for the dramatic is not confined only to domestic duty.Virgil van Dijk's 92nd-minute header to seal a 3-2 win over Atletico Madrid here means it is still Dominik Szoboszlai's free-kick against Arsenal that remains the earliest the Reds have scored any of their winning goals this term, which came after a mere 83 minutes.And for all the talk of Liverpool putting their fans - and head coach - through the emotional wringer every week with their apparent unwillingness to put games to bed before the final knockings, their ability to continue scoring so late only fosters a belief that it can be done.[BREAK]It's quite the string to have on the bow when prizes like the Champions League and Premier League are within reach.Marcos Llorente's 81st-minute volley, his second goal of the game, should have been the sucker punch that took the air out of the Anfield night.[BREAK]Those who had 92 in the sweep will have cleaned up this time as Van Dijk nodded home in stoppage time to secure a fifth successive win.Slot has not done a perfect job of concealing his frustration with how his side were eliminated from this competition last season and the continued reference to that penalty-shootout loss to eventual winners Paris Saint-Germain in March has laid bare how much he resented it, in fact.And while it would be a stretch to suggest the motivation for this European Cup campaign is a burning sense of injustice, there is at least merit in the theory that he is driven by some unfinished business.[BREAK]There are some in the squad who have privately made known this is the tournament they want to win more than any other this season too after scaling domestic heights last time out.All eyes at kick off, inevitably, were trained on Alexander Isak, who was making his debut after signing for a British record fee of Â£125m on transfer deadline day from Newcastle United.[BREAK]But the new No.9 showed enough flashes during his hour-long cameo to excite the supporters for what is to come across the course of his six-year contract.The link-up with his fellow Â£100m man, Florian Wirtz, started to become increasingly influential as the first period wore on and Isak's give-and-go with the Germany international should have brought a goal when Jan Oblak was rounded only for Jeremie Frimpong to overegg the pudding with his presence on the scene, which allowed Atleti to clear.Liverpool have invested over Â£240m in the deals to bring Wirtz and Isak to Merseyside, completing a couple of blockbuster moves that are as much about future prosperity as they are about delivering right now and it will be fascinating to see how that fledgling relationship develops in the coming weeks and months.[BREAK]This was his most encouraging outing yet.Liverpool came haring out the traps and after Andy Robertson had deflected in Salah's free-kick inside four minutes, the Egyptian added one that was indisputably his just a few seconds later.</description>

Diego Simeone, the Atletico Madrid manager, lost his composure during the intense Champions League clash against Liverpool, which ended with a 3-2 defeat for his team. The article highlights an emotional meltdown from Simeone after Liverpool's late winner, culminating in him receiving a red card in the dying moments of the game.
Throughout the match, tension soared as Simeone's side fought hard but ultimately succumbed to Liverpool's resilience. The decisive goal came late, sparking frustration that boiled over from the Atletico bench.
The red card incident involved Simeone reacting angrily to insults and provocations from fans. According to the report, a fan insulted Simeone following Liverpool's third goal, and the manager, feeling personally attacked, lost his usual composed demeanor. This reaction led to his dismissal from the technical area by the referees.
The article portrays Simeone's actions as a rare lapse in his typically disciplined managerial style. His post-match comments reflected on the challenges of facing hostility and the difficulty of remaining calm under intense pressure.
Despite the loss and the emotional episode, Simeone acknowledged the passion of the game and accepted responsibility for his conduct. The match itself was thrilling, highlighted by Atletico's fightback and Liverpoolâ\x80\x99s dramatic late winner, underscoring the high stakes and heated atmosphere of the Champions League stage.
This incident serves as a reminder of the high emotions involved in top-level football and the immense pressure managers face during critical moments. Simeone's red card and post-match reaction made headlines due to their intensity and the high-profile nature of the match between two European heavyweights.

<title>Diego Simeone reveals why he wildly confronted Liverpool fans in incident that saw the Atletico Madrid boss sent off after Virgil van Dijk's late winner in Champions League clash (Daily Mail)</title>

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone was involved in a heated confrontation with Liverpool fans during their UEFA Champions League match at Anfield, which ended in a 3-2 victory for Liverpool. The incident occurred after Liverpool scored their third goal, prompting fervent reactions from the crowd. Simeone, who was subsequently shown a red card, turned to confront a fan who had been directing insults at him throughout the game.
Speaking after the match, Simeone explained that while managers are expected to behave professionally and restrain themselves, being subjected to constant abuse, including insults of a potentially racist nature, made the situation challenging. He admitted to reacting in the moment, asserting that as a human being, there are times when oneâ\x80\x99s patience runs thin. Simeone emphasized the difficulty of managing emotions while under such intense provocation but indicated he felt compelled to respond after repeated personal insults.
The confrontation highlighted the passionate and sometimes volatile atmosphere at Anfield, especially during such high-stakes encounters. Simeone's reaction was sparked by a culmination of ongoing abuse during the match rather than a single isolated incident. The managerâ\x80\x99s red card was a significant moment, overshadowing what was otherwise a tightly contested game, reflecting the tension not only on the pitch but also among the fans.
Overall, the exchange underscored the emotional intensity involved in top-level European football and raised questions about fan behavior and boundaries when it comes to interactions with coaching staff. While Simeoneâ\x80\x99s response was out of character for a manager known for his composed demeanor, it underlined the human aspect of professional sports figures operating under extreme pressure.

<description>Diego Simeone is restrained as he confronts fans after the late Liverpool winning goal against his Atletico Madrid side(Image: Marc Atkins/Getty Images)Diego Simeone has called for Liverpool to take action against the supporter who provoked the Atletico Madrid boss into a red card during a dramatic Champions League finale.[BREAK]Simeone was sent off by referee Maurizio Mariani after becoming embroiled in an argument with the crowd in the wake of Virgil van Dijkâ\x80\x99s injury-time header that earned the Reds a 3-2 win at Anfield on Wednesday evening.Stewards were forced to intervene during the flashpoint, with Simeone eventually being ushered down the tunnel after confronting the fourth official.And when asked about the incident, the Atletico boss said: â\x80\x9cThey always talk about taking care of each other, but they insult you throughout the entire match and you can't say anything because you're the manager.READ MORE:Arne Slot makes 'surprised' Alexander Isak admission and confirms Liverpool plan for Evertonâ\x80\x9cMy reaction was unjustifiable, but do you know what it's like to be insulted for 90 minutes, to turn around after the opponent scores and still be insulted?[BREAK]It's not that easy.â\x80\x9dSimeone added: â\x80\x9c(The referee told me) he understood me.[BREAK]I hope Liverpool can improve that aspect and that when they identify the person who did that, there will be consequences.â\x80\x9cThere were insults throughout the match, including gestures.[BREAK]I have to live with it as it exists all over the place all of the time.â\x80\x9dThe Reds had raced into a two-goal lead inside six minutes with goals from Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah, only for Marcos Llorente â\x80\x93 who scored twice here in Atleticoâ\x80\x99s 3-2 win in 2020 â\x80\x93 to again net a brace.And of the game, Simeone said: â\x80\x9cThe first goal was a bit fortunate for them, it helped them pick up the initiative.[BREAK]It was more of a game that was taking place in their half, more even.â\x80\x9cWe started really well in the second half.</description>

<title>Liverpool 3-2 Atletico: Three talking points (Click Liverpool)</title>

<description>Embed from Getty ImagesLiverpool edged out Atletico Madrid in their Champions League opener.Andy Robertson opened the scoring after just four minutes as he diverted Mohamed Salahâ\x80\x99s low-driven free kick past Jan Oblak from close range.Salah would score in his own right just moments later after shaking off several defenders and firing into the bottom lefthand corner of the visitorsâ\x80\x99 net.The visitors halved their deficit deep into first-half added time when Marcos Llorente prodded through Ibrahima Konateâ\x80\x99s legs in front of The Kop.Llorente repeated the trick in the closing stages with a sublime volley which took a slight deflection off Konate before nestling in Alissonâ\x80\x99s goal.But there was still one final twist as Virgil van Dijk powered home the winner by meeting Dominik Szoboszlaiâ\x80\x99s right-sided corner in the 92nd minute.Victory saw Arne Slotâ\x80\x99s side begin their latest campaign in Europeâ\x80\x99s elite club competition by occupying seventh place in the league phase standings.Here were the key talking points from Anfield:Liverpool have done it again.A fifth straight win in all competitions for Arne Slotâ\x80\x99s side this season was achieved thanks to another breathless finale and last-minute winner.For a time, it appeared that the reigning Premier League champions would prove themselves to be early birds after racing into a two-goal cushion.Atletico Madrid had never suffered such an early onslaught under Diego Simeone, let alone in the Champions League era, prior to that first-half blitz.Given that the visitors were the last team to taste victory at Anfield on Europeanâ\x80\x99s elite stage after trailing at half-time, it proved a malediction.In what is becoming trademark style, the Reds had to rally to ensure they took maximum points against their La Liga counterparts in the gameâ\x80\x99s final throes.Logic dictates that, at some point in the campaign, such luck will run dry.Until then, they are continuing to ride the wave of the late, late show.Alexander Isakâ\x80\x99s Liverpool debut was always set to dominate the headlines.He was not only taking his first steps as the new British record signing but also the second Swedish player to represent the club in more than 30 years.Glenn Hysen previously held the sole distinction with his last of 93 games in the famous red shirt during a 3-0 reversal at Norwich City in February 1992.For a player whose last competitive involvement at club level came over four months ago, there was inevitable signs of ring rust from the 25-year-old.He did, however, begin clicking into gear towards the end of the first half with a shot across Jan Oblakâ\x80\x99s goal that bounced narrowly wide of the target.An almost identical effort failed to test one of Europeâ\x80\x99s best stoppers yet he atoned with a neat one-two to tee up Florian Wirtz to round the Slovakian.True to Slotâ\x80\x99s word, Isak did not see out the full 90 minutes as he made way for Hugo Ekitike shortly before the hour mark, to a largely standing ovation.But the early indications are that the new No.9 is ready to be unleashed, just in time for the small matter of Saturdayâ\x80\x99s Merseyside derby with Everton.Even after Isakâ\x80\x99s record-breaking move, Wirtz continues to find himself under the spotlight with a Â£100 million price tag that has proved an uneasy burden.The Germany international clearly possesses the talent to warrant such a hefty fee but his early appearances had been more solid than spectacular.At a sixth time of asking, Wirtz finally demonstrated more familiar qualities with a livewire display where he was often involved in the attacking third.For all the scrutiny on his lack of goal involvements in the previous games, the playmaker should have registered at least two either side of the interval.He was only denied by sparring partner Jeremie Frimpongâ\x80\x99s miskick after he sidestepped Oblak and Mohamed Salahâ\x80\x99s shot crashing off the woodwork.Wirtzâ\x80\x99s link-up play with Isak also offers hopes of a burgeoning partnership as the clubâ\x80\x99s costliest signings dovetailed regularly in the opening 45 minutes.Slowly but surely, the 22-year-old is starting to show his true capabilities.</description>

<title>Slot surprised by Isak fitness in Liverpool debut (ESPN)</title>
<link>https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/46296696/liverpool-alexander-isak-arne-slot-debut-altetico-madrid</link>
<description>LIVERPOOL, England -- Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has admitted he was surprised by the fitness of striker Alexander Isak during his debut against AtlÃ©tico Madrid.The Sweden international played 58 minutes of Liverpool's 3-2 win before being replaced by fellow summer signing Hugo Ekitike.[BREAK]Isak joined the Premier League champions from Newcastle United on transfer deadline day for a British-record Â£125 million ($171m) and is still working his way up to full fitness following a disrupted preseason.- Isak might be the new star, but Salah remains Liverpool's main man - Simeone on Anfield squabble: I was fighting back - Van Dijk heads Liverpool to rousing win over Atleti"In the 60 minutes he played he seemed to be quite fit to me," Slot told TNT Sports.[BREAK]"It wasn't as if after 10 minutes he was already very tired.[BREAK]He could play at this level quite well after one or two weeks of team sessions."So that was the thing and he can play football and that he's a joy to watch and that is not a surprise to me.[BREAK]We play three times a week and that's a bit too much for him still."We have two great number nines and we're going to use both of them throughout their career here."Alexander Isak lasted almost an hour in his Liverpool debut against AtlÃ©tico Madrid.Â Richard Martin-Roberts - CameraSport via Getty ImagesLiverpool snatched the victory on Wednesday night with a late header from captain Virgil van Dijk, having surrendered a two-goal lead for the third time this season.Reflecting on his team's performance, Slot said: "If you want to beat a team like AtlÃ©tico, which has an unbelievable mentality, you have to beat them with their weapon as well and that is mentality and that is what we showed again today that we can beat them with mentality."I think we should've made it easier for ourselves -- at 2-0 first half we got more than a few chances to make a third.[BREAK]At 2-1 second half we hit the post, we were so close a few times and if the margin is only one goal something can always happen and it happened."A little bit deflection I'm not sure but second ball went in, but again we showed mentality because in that 10 minutes that still had to be played we were pushing, pushing, pushing and we scored a set-piece goal."</description>
