Seleção legend Kaká thinks that Liverpool can build their team around his compatriot Philippe Coutinho. Coutinho has been in inspired form this season, with the Reds currently sitting second in the league.

He has also won a place in Tite’s starting XI for high flying Brazil. Ex Milan and Real Madrid star Kaká thinks the Premier League club can rely on Coutinho to deliver on a regular basis now and that they should focus their efforts around him.

“I have been a big admirer of Coutinho and he can be a very important player for Liverpool and Brazil,” Kaka, who plays for Major League Soccer side Orlando City SC, told the Mirror. “There will be a lot of expectation on him with Liverpool fighting to get back into the Champions League, but I know that he can handle it.

“One great player doesn’t make a team, but you can build a team around one great player, and I believe he can be that player,” he added. “Coutinho is a humble guy. He won’t talk about being able to replace a legend like Steven Gerrard, and the truth is nobody could ever replace him, but with Gerrard gone they do need somebody to step up — and he can do that.”
