Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho has described playing for Liverpool as “a dream come true.” The Brazilian joined Liverpool from Inter Milan three years ago and was voted Liverpool’s player of the season last year.
He has struggled with injury this season, but he says he is still very much living the dream on Merseyside, telling World Soccer magazine, “I just like to live in the moment,” Coutinho said. “I am not looking ahead. Being here at Liverpool is a dream come true.
“I am already playing in the best league in the world and I have a number of years left on my contract that I only renewed last year. I am very happy and my focus is on helping Liverpool fight for trophies.”
Coutinho also enthused about his understanding with compatriot Roberto Firmino, “Our understanding is improving and I am learning more and more about the way he likes to play, as well as his movement off the ball,” he said. “Hopefully that can be beneficial to both Liverpool and Brazil.
“He’s a great player who brings a lot of quality into the squad, but it is not just about two players and a partnership. The whole squad is working to improve as our main objective is to win trophies as a unit.”
