Philippe Coutinho’s ordeal continues. Since his final transfer from Barça to the Villans until 2026 last May, against 20 million euros, the versatile 30-year-old offensive player has had a difficult start to the season, between poor performances and regular injuries. The Brazilian midfielder, injured in the thigh since the beginning of November, could not appear in the list of the Seleção, to fly to Qatar during the 2022 World Cup.
Philippe Coutinho on the way out
However, everything had started well for the ex-Barça player, released since leaving Catalonia. “It was a very difficult time for me, but it made me stronger in my head. I missed him so much and now I feel the love for football. For a long time I was not very happy playing football, but here I felt happiness again”he confided to the DailyMail. But Philippe Coutinho’s return to form did not last.
Steven Gerrard relied heavily on him, despite his rocky start to the season. But the departure of the Reds legend and the arrival of Unai Emery on the Villans bench completely changed the situation. According to information from Mundo Deportivo, Coutinho would not fit into the plans of the ex-manager of Paris Saint-Germain. And, in this sense, the Premier League resident would consider parting with the player trained in Vasco de Gama, in Brazil. However, Unai Emery intends to give him one last chance…
A last chance against his former club
“He was very eager to try to show me and show us his best qualities. The injury was at a bad time for everyone, for him, for the club, for the team. Now he trains every day and I see him training really well. I expect the best possible Coutinho from him.”warned Emery, before the reception of Liverpool, his former club which revealed it worldwide, this Monday (6:30 p.m.), for the resumption of the season.
“For him, this Monday will be a special game against Liverpool and I think he will be in the team. He is not ready to play 90 minutes, but I can’t wait to see him on the pitch, in matches and with his quality he can help us a lot.”, added the Spanish technician. Philippe Coutinho will therefore have a lot to play for for the resumption of the Premier League, while the English press is already sending him to Major League Soccer, in the United States, or to the Brazilian Championship, from next January.
