Tonight, the 20th round of the English Premier League resumed with Newcastle United winning away to Tottenham Hotspur by a slim margin of 2-1. After the match, the team's new star Isaac went in front of the TNT Sports cameras to talk about the joy of the victory and his insights into the game.
Facing the last 10 minutes on the bench, Isaac confessed: "The wait was so torturous, I sat almost until the last second of the game. I sat there until the last second of the game, watching Tottenham trying their best to equalize, and time seemed to freeze. However, we persevered and it was an immense relief."
Speaking about whether the team adapted to the fast start, Isaac added: "We did concede a goal, but soon we made adjustments. I think we continued to get off to a fast start and the two goals came quickly and could have been even more. Therefore, I am sincerely satisfied with today's win."
When asked about his contribution to his team's second goal, Isaac responded modestly, "It was just a light touch and I think the ball would have sailed into the net even without me. Still, I'm happy to have been a part of it."
Becoming the Newcastle player to score in seven consecutive Premier League games, Isaac exclaimed, "I'm really happy. Every game, I go on the pitch with the desire to score goals. Of course, I don't intentionally try to break the record, but it's a positive result."
Isaac emphasized that the victory was the result of a concerted team effort: "I don't think it's an individual glory, it's a team effort. We've been playing very well lately and that makes it easier for everyone to play. So, the individual and the team are mutually reinforcing."
Finally, facing his team's five consecutive wins in the Premier League and six in a row in all competitions, Isaac said, "Yes, we do have a lot of confidence. But the key is to keep the momentum and maintain the current level. Because the situation is unpredictable, we have to stay focused and work consistently to keep the winning pace."
