00:00Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk says the club's revamped defence will need time to develop strong partnerships.
00:06Van Dijk described new signings Ronald Araujo and Jeremy Jacquet as good players.
00:13Liverpool have been forced to rebuild their defence after the departures of Ibrahima Konate and Andy Robertson.
00:20Joe Gomez's muscle injury in Liverpool's opening pre-season match has added to the defensive changes.
00:26Liverpool signed Ronald Araujo on a season-long loan from Barcelona, while Jeremy Jacquet joined the club after signing in
00:35February.
00:36Both players featured in Liverpool's 2-0 friendly victory over Como on Sunday, with Jacquet also scoring.
00:44Van Dijk said the best way to build defensive partnerships is through playing matches, as games are different from training.
00:50He added that the players need to form a connection and understand how to defend certain situations together.
00:57Liverpool finished fifth last season, and will begin their Premier League campaign away against Newcastle United on August 23rd.
