Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho reflected on his first three years at Liverpool and declared himself very happy with the Merseyside club, but has insisted he wants to win silverware at Anfield. The Brazilian joined Liverpool in January 2013 and was voted the club’s player of the season last year.

Speaking to the Liverpool website, Coutinho said, “Three wonderful years. As I’ve said, in the beginning I was given a very warm welcome, from the fans, the team, everyone who works here at the club.

“So I’m very grateful to the club, and now I hope to be able to help the team win trophies, it’s very important to keep battling.

“We learn little by little. When you arrive here, the football is very different, the style of play, it’s more intense, you use your body more, it’s faster.

“These things I think I’ve improved on since I arrived, as I came from a different style of football, and I hope I can continue to improve.”

Now Coutinho is focusing on his next ambition, winning trophies with the club, with Liverpool in the semi-finals of the League cup and the knockout stages of the Europa League, “We’re in a very good position. It’s the goal of everyone involved, we’re all focused on fighting for the trophies and I think we have a great chance in the competitions we’re in this year. We’re going to fight for that and I hope we win a trophy this year.”
