Over the past year there has been increased hype and hysteria over this young Brazilian, moving to England still yet to fully develop as a player and as a man Philippe Coutinho joined Liverpool when they needed him most.

When asked if he felt any of his Brazil teammates would make a good addition to the Blaugrana squad, Neymar singled out Coutinho for special praise.
Coutinho has been a catalyst for Liverpool this season and the club struggled against Manchester United when he was out of the lineup after receiving a red card in the team’s 3-0 loss to West Ham.
Reports in Spain on Monday suggested Barca were eyeing a potential move for Coutinho, who has become one of Liverpool’s most prized assets since joining from Inter in January 2013.
Neymar has said he would be keen to bring his Brazilian compatriot to Catalunya. “He is a great player and his style suits Barcelona“.

Despite seeing his start to the season affected by mumps, Neymar has scored in his last two La Liga games and he is eager to help keep their various title defences on track. This is how I see Coutinho at his best, playing off pure ardour for football and thriving off being the player Liverpool look to for inspiration.
