Michael Owen Reveals Why Alexander Isak Could Be Liverpool’s Secret Weapon This Season
“You cannot condone refusing to play or train,” adds Owen. “But I understood, in a way, he saw this as an opportunity of a lifetime. You only get one life, one career. Maybe he saw this as his chance to play for probably the best team in the world – as Liverpool presently are. It sounded fairly amicable at the start, when he made his feelings known. But then it just descended into a mess.”
“He started playing every trick in the book to try to force his move,” says Owen. “The writing was on the wall from the moment the back-and-forth statements came out. There was no way he could go back to Newcastle. Despite their public stance, I think that’s when the club started looking for the best deal they could get for him.”
