Dejan Lovren was amongst the debutants as Borussia Dortmund surrended to Liverpool in a 4-0 beating.
As well as covering all the traits, Lovren was demanding and commanding as he scored to double Liverpool's lead within 14 minutes.
The debut goal was much like that of Jamie Carragher whom scored against Aston Villa.
So in case you missed it, or just want to re read how Lovren feels about his new club, here is the interview told to LFCTV from the man himself.
Dejan Lovren, Liverpool F.C player - how does that sound?
It sounds amazing and it's a dream come true. I'm happy and glad to be here. I'm proud and can't wait to start.
What are you most looking forward to about playing for Liverpool?
I'm most looking forward to Anfield, of course. I played there last season in front of the crowd singing You'll Never Walk Alone. That is something very special for every player, every sportsman and every fan. I can't wait to get started.
As a younger player, did you know much about Liverpool?
Yes of course. I grew up in Germany and didn't watch English football that much. But from 2005 watching the (UEFA Champions League Final) as a 16 year old against AC Milan, which was an amazing game, it made me think this club is special. When I come here (to Melwood) and see the trophy it makes me want to hold it one time.
What do you know about the club and its history?
I know we have millions and millions of supporters - Liverpool is more than a football club.
You spent one memorable season with Southampton - how do you reflect on that year as St Mary's?
It was just one season and it was really short, but we had a great season with the team and it was amazing to play at St Mary's. It was the first time I had played in England and I was proud to play for Southampton. I'll take good memories from my time there.
Meeting up with your new team mates, there are a couple of familiar faces in Rickie Lambert and Adam Lallana - that must be a great feeling for you?
Yes of course, but it's not just Rickie or Adam - I also wanted to meet the other lads and I couldn't wait to start with them. They are top players and top lads. Of course I know Rickie and Adam a lot better from last season - they are great players and deserve to be here.
What do you think Rickie brings to this Liverpool team?
He has a lot of experience, has played a lot of games in the Premier League and the Championship also. Rickie scored a lot of important goals last season and I learned a lot of things from him. He was like a leader for us.
What can you say about Adam Lallana?
I really enjoyed playing with Adam last season - it was amazing. He was the main player, playing all of the games. Like Rickie, he's a great leader, even though he is only 26. Now the dream has come true and we will get the chance to play together.
You scored just twice for Southampton, one of them the winner against Liverpool at Anfield in the league last season. What did that moment mean to you?
It was an amazing moment for me because before and after the game I sensed the feeling and the atmosphere around the stadium. I will never forget the victory we achieved that afternoon and especially getting the goal. After the game, I said to myself: one day I hope I'll be able to play here for Liverpool.
Apart from the goal, what else do you remember about playing at Anfield that day?
Jose Fonte, my defensive partner at Southampton told me to listen to You'll Never Walk Alone before the final whistle and to enjoy the moment. It was really amazing - I had chills on my arms and it's something I will never forget. I want to listen to that song every other weekend now I'm with Liverpool.
Which Liverpool players stood out for you in that second game at St Mary's?
It was Sturridge and Suarez of course. But of course the defence too as not a lot of teams come to St Mary's and not concede a goal, so it was a perfect performance by Liverpool.
What have you made of manager Brendan Rodgers' plans for Liverpool in this coming season and beyond?
We have spoken a little bit. Liverpool have already bought several players, so you can see the club has big ambitions to carry on and not stop here. Of course, I want to be part of the club's ambitions.
And what have you made of Liverpool's playing style under the boss?
I like his style. It's amazing and quite similar to Southampton. Their games last year were great, particularly the win at St Mary's. Liverpool play amazing football so I can't wait to join up with the team. It's a priviledge to be here.
