Mamadou Sakho is enjoying his defensive partnership with new Liverpool teammate Dejan Lovren.
The pair are sure to start against Aston Villa today.
"It went well, we understood each other and I had the luck that he speaks some French as this helped me too," the former Paris Saint-Germain centre-back told Liverpoolfc.com.
"It is important for us to try not to concede any goals and to remain defensively solid, but it isn't only a defensive job, it's a whole team effort and I hope we continue to do our best to score many goals while stopping as many as possible."
