Liverpool s most expensive striker awakens!

Anfield is boiling! Not because of winning, but because of the reassurance from head coach Slott - "Isaac, you are 100% ready now!"

Who would have thought that this cost Liverpool 125 million pounds and locked up the summer window. The "Mr. Billion Dollar" who spent three full months became the "Mysterious No. 9" among fans after joining: he made 6 appearances for 311 minutes and only scored 1 goal in the EFL Cup against Southampton, the last place in the English Championship. He even had 0 shots on target in the Premier League!

But now, Slott has stopped talking: "It was not run-in well before, now this is the Isaac we bought!" This weekend's home game against Manchester United is the ultimate battlefield for inspection!

The cost of not training for 3 months! Will Mr. 125 million become a "slow-heat type"?

Isaac's "slow warming" has already been foreshadowed. Everyone has an impression of Xia Chuang's "forced palace drama", right? In order to switch from Newcastle to Liverpool, he stopped training for three months and wasted his pre-season.

Sloter did not say anything clearly at the press conference, but his words were full of solid information: "Other players have practiced for five or six weeks in pre-season, but he is better off. He has been off for three months and can only find form in the Premier League main game - this is not normal operation!"

The data does not lie: since joining, Issa has The Croatian Premier League touches the ball 32 times per game on average, nearly 20 times less than during the Newcastle period; the success rate of confrontations dropped from 58% to 39%, and even the "killer in the penalty area" attribute that he is best at has been lost - you must know that in Newcastle last season, he scored 1 goal every 119 minutes, and his efficiency in scoring goals with a shot on target is more stable than Haaland!

What is even more disturbing is the comparison: Ekitic, who is also a new player, has scored 5 goals and assisted 2 assists this season. On the other hand, Isaac, apart from the "abusive goal" in the English League Cup, the only thing he can do well is assist Gakpo's goal, and the fans are quarreling as "Is he a fool or a real god?"

Slott takes a strong medicine! The 6-week transformation activates the Swedish sharp knife

. Fans are anxious, and Slott is even more anxious. This "Uncle Scumbag's Successor" worked hard and directly opened an "exclusive special training package" for Isaac in the past six weeks:

The physical coach watched him brush his body fat, which dropped from 9.2% to 7.8%, and his sprint speed increased by 0.3 meters/second. ; The tactical coach pulls him to watch game videos from the Newcastle period every day, focusing on the details of "frontcourt pressure" - you must know that in Newcastle, Isaac returned to defense 12 times per game, and could run better than many midfielders. In the early days of Liverpool, his defensive contribution was almost zero.

In the Champions League match against Galatasaray, I finally saw the effect: Isaac came on as a substitute for 20 minutes, forced two high-intensity steals to intercept the opponent's defender's pass, and also created a threatening shot. Slott laughed after the game: "Look, this is what he should look like! It was 80% Isaac before, but now it's called the full-health version."

How can two guns worth billions of dollars coexist? Slott laughed and answered

Isaac is about to wake up, and another question arises: 125 million Isaac + Ekitic imported at a high price, how to arrange this "billion-dollar double gun"? You can't have one starting and the other sitting on the bench, right?

Sloter did not panic, and directly said in the press conference: "Why can't we play together?" According to a reporter with the team, Liverpool has practiced a 3-4-2-1 formation on the training ground, with Ekitic playing on the side as the "explosion point" and Isaac in the middle as the "fulcrum" - these two are really complementary: Isaac's header success rate is 68%, and Ekitic's dribbling success rate is 52%. If they can be combined, Premier League defenders will have a headache.

Facing Manchester United for the ultimate test! The 6-year contract bets on the future

This weekend's "Double Red Club" against Manchester United is Isaac's "battle to clear his name." You know, he scored goals at Newcastle last season while stepping on Manchester United - he scored two goals at Newcastle and helped Newcastle win the game 3-1.

Sloter has made it clear long ago: "We signed him for 6 years, not 6 weeks." Now Isaac has full physical fitness, adapted tactics, and is just one goal away from breaking the window. For Liverpool, if Isaac can make a fool of himself in the Double Red Club, it will not only end the three-game losing streak, but also completely "unwind" the 125 million investment.

The fans have already begun to warm up: "If Isaac scores for Manchester United, I will just buy ten bottles of beer to celebrate!" "Stop being a parallel import and show the ferocity you had during the Newcastle era!"

Then the question is: Do you think Isaac can score in the Double Reds? Can Liverpool win this life and death battle?
