Alexander Isak has been speaking ahead of facing Liverpool.
Newcastle United with a 4.30pm appointment at Wembley this afternoon.
Alexander Isak declaring; “I have high ambitions.”
No problem with that, such a quality player should feel like that.
However, also heartening for him to state as well; “This club can achieve great things.”
Hopefully those great things can really kick on today, just maybe the first of a fair few trophies that Alexander Isak can help Newcastle United win…
Alexander Isak speaking to official Newcastle United media ahead of this afternoon at Wembley:
“I feel good and really excited for the game.
“The best way to prepare is to train as normal.
“It will come down to what we do as a team and that is what we have to focus on. I am excited but focused on the job.
“We are contenders for titles which is what you want to win as a football player.
“We’ve been in a final before and we are now in another one so I think the chances are there.
“This club can achieve great things.
“We should really look at it one season at a time and, this season, we can achieve winning a trophy which would be amazing for everyone.
“It means a lot that we have the chance to change that.
“We have to be focussed on the game and not let the fact that the club hasn’t won anything in a long time get to us so much.
“I understand the excitement around the city and the whole club but, personally, I feel quite relaxed about the game.
“(Asked about his ever improving form and contribution to the team) Hard work, training and the mentality to want to get better which I have. I have ambitions to achieve things in my career and be the best version of myself.
“I have teammates that help me get better.
“Many players have been here since I came and you get better connections.
“I have high ambitions.
“I am trying to create my own history at Newcastle.
“I am happy with what I have done so far but always looking forward. I’m really enjoying my football and where I’m at in my career right now.”
