Gakpo: I hope Isak and I can assist each other more; he still owes me a few assists

After Liverpool defeated Ipswich Town 2-0 away from home in the third round of the Premier League, Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo, who provided two assists in the match, and captain Virgil van Dijk were interviewed by Sky Sports together.

Cody, your captain has given you high praise. How happy are you to be able to stay here, continue playing for the team, and with your form at the start of this season?

I think we played a great game today. Of course, there are still some areas that need to be improved, but this was a victory that we really needed. I am very happy to get the three points and I am also very satisfied with the team's performance today.

Isak will certainly be very grateful to you because you have assisted all of his goals this season. Are the two of you gradually developing a special understanding between you?

Yes, we will see. I think obviously, as attacking players, we train together all the time, and in every training session we try to understand each other better. Hopefully we can assist each other many times, so right now he still owes me a few assists.
