Sadio Mane asked Watford captain Troy Deeney to look after his Senegal team-mate Ismalia Sarr.
The trio were chatting after Liverpool beat Watford 2-0 at Anfield on Saturday.
Mane said to Deeney: 'Take care of my boy [Sarr], yeah. He's a shy boy, shy boy.'
To which the Watford skipper replied: 'He just needs to speak English, he's working on it. He's a good boy.'
Sarr missed a gilt-edged chance against Liverpool in what could go down as one of the worst misses of the season so far.
The Hornets put in a spirited performance in their first game under new manager Nigel Pearson against the undefeated league leaders.
However like many other teams, the 20th placed team were punished by a clinical Liverpool counter attack that Mohamed Salah finished off on the 38th minute.
But just three minutes later Watford had the perfect opportunity to immediately level the scoreline at Anfield.
Gerard Deulofeu's cross was parried away by goalkeeper Alisson right into the feet of Sarr, who only had to make any form of reasonable contact to turn the ball home.
However what followed will go down as one of the misses of the season to date.
As the ball fell to Sarr, the Senegalese winger swiped at the ball and fluffed a huge opportunity to put his side level.
He miscued his kick and could only watch on as the ball rolled behind him, ruing a huge opportunity to score what would have been his first Premier League goal
