Participating in a shot every 19 minutes, the player was recently praised by manager Steven Gerrard, who was by his side at Liverpool. The captain melted for the athlete after a draw against Leeds United, in which Coutinho scored a goal and two assists.
“If you look at his performance tonight, his skill, awareness and vision. If you don’t like watching him play, you should stop watching football. His performance was absolutely beautiful,” said the coach.
Another Brazilian who stood out this Saturday was Douglas Luiz. The midfielder also scored in Aston Villa’s victory and was important for the team to reach 11th position in the table.
On loan from Barcelona, Coutinho is now preparing for his next appointment with Aston Villa, which will take place this Thursday, against Leeds, at 16:45 (GMT).
