In Liverpool’s central defense, competition is fierce with Skrtel, Agger, Touré, and Sakho, all of whom are international players. Despite the tough competition, Sakho, the former PSG player, has started in two matches, securing victories against West Ham (4-1) where he even scored, and Tottenham (5-1). When asked if this competition harms the team, Sakho dismisses the notion, emphasizing the positive impact of healthy competition.
Sakho states, “I think Liverpool is lucky to have four very good central defenders, all of whom are international. I think each of us will have a chance, and here, once again, the important thing is to give everything for the group and help the team to continue to progress. When you have healthy competition, I think it can only serve to bring the best out of all players. All the guys on the sidelines are giving their best for the team. This can only help the group to continue to advance at the top of the table.”
Sakho’s perspective aligns with Liverpool’s current standing, as they hold the second position in the championship, trailing two points behind Arsenal. With upcoming fixtures against Cardiff and a visit to Manchester City on Boxing Day, Sakho emphasizes the importance of the entire squad contributing to the team’s success.
