Brazil have been a nation which are well-known for producing some of the most technically gifted footballers which have graced the planet and with Phillipe Coutinho now making a big move to Liverpool, it seems that at some point, he will fit perfectly into that category.
Coutinho began his career at Vasco da Gama before making a move to Inter Milan, where first team opportunities were restricted due to the quality players who occupied the same position as the Brazilian.
A loan move with Espanyol granted him the chance to play regular football and it enabled him to showcase the incredible talent that he possessed.
Since then Coutinho moved to Liverpool during last season’s January transfer window and already he has received many plaudits after a series of impressive displays.
It’s evident to see how easy it is for him to play football, he oozes class and has settled into that Liverpool side very nicely.
He is able to link up with players and find team-mates with a killer pass, often even getting into good goal-scoring positions and finding the net on a few occasions.
He is almost like a young Pablo Aimar, only small but his ability cannot be questioned.
After a relatively tough time at Inter, it looks like he will eventually fulfill his potential with Liverpool.
