Enlightenment Coach: Isaac was not top among his peers at the time, but he tried to change himself

September 15th News Recently, Isaac's enlightenment coach Minergi was interviewed by the Sun, and he talked about the fact that the players' road to success is not smooth.

Minelgi recalled the first time he met Isaac, when he was about five to six years old, and Minelgi was the youth training director of Swedish football club AIK Stockholm. Later, he became his coach at Isaac when he was 12 to 15 years old. When asked if Isaac had shown extraordinary talent since childhood, Minergi admitted: "Looking back, I don't think he is the best one. Although he is very skilled, he is not the best among his peers."

However, Isaac showed extraordinary abilities in his football skills and understanding of the game. Minergi said that at the age of twelve or thirteen, they were not sure whether he could become a professional player in the future. This uncertainty continued until he was 14 years old and then fundamentally changed. Minergi recalled: "I saw a huge change, which was mainly reflected in his mentality, and he began to realize that he had to work hard to stand out." 12 of Isaac's youth teammates ended up becoming professionals, including defender Sheean, who currently plays for Atlanta. Minergi believes that it is this fierce competitive environment that provides Isaac with a good foundation for coping with high expectations. He also mentioned that Isaac always plays with a smile and is a great teammate.

Minelgi added: "Until 14, he was a child and loved to play with his friends. But when he reached 14 and a half or 15, his attitude towards football became more serious and his family gave great support."

It is worth mentioning that if the situation was different back then, Isaac might have another teammate with the same talent, Arsenal striker Yorkez. Minergi tried to convince the latter to join the AIK youth training camp, but failed to do so. Now, the two Swedish strikers will compete for championship honors for their respective clubs in the Premier League.

Shortly after leaving Minergi, Isaac gained a foothold in the AIK first team and made his league debut and scored a goal at the age of 16. He then joined Dortmund, Real Sociedad and Newcastle United, and transferred to Liverpool with high transfer fees this summer.

This weekend, he is expected to make his Reds' career debut against Burnley. Minergi is confident about whether the former disciple can withstand the pressure of his worth: "I believe that no matter where he is, he can adapt well."
