Liverpool’s young star Philippe Coutinho is happy with his quick success in the English Premier League and how much he has been learning from his teammates.
The midfielder talked to FIFA’s official site about the reasons why he left Inter Milan, he said: “I’d been thinking for a while about leaving because I wasn’t getting that many opportunities at Inter. And players need opportunities.”
“I was upset things hadn’t worked out but the offer was a really good one and it came at the right time. I think I did the right thing.”
The former Vasco player also explained the reasons behind his success: “I think it all comes down to a question of confidence. I got a great welcome here. I feel people are doing all they can to support me and I’ve been getting on well with my team-mates.”
“Playing with people like Suarez and hearing what idols like Gerrard have to say is great for my confidence. What’s helped me the most is knowing that I’m important and that they have faith in me.”
Coutinho also talked about his position on the pitch: “I’ve played in a more central position before, in a creative role in the middle, but I think I’m performing better now further out on the flank”
“Out there I can cut back in, shoot or play a pass.”
