The Reds' top summer signing from RB Leipzig joined Jurgen Klopp's defence on Tuesday
Ibrahima Konate has promised better days ahead after his "unforgettable" Liverpool debut was partially spoiled by a draw in a friendly with Stuttgart on Tuesday.
The centre-back, signed from RB Leipzig for £36 million ($51m), said "step by step we will be better" as he gets to build experience alongside new team-mates such as Andy Robertson, Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold once they return to full health.
Liverpool were decimated by injuries at the back last year, but the addition of Konate may help prevent another crisis in 2021-22.
