The situation of Philippe Coutinho in the FC Barcelona begins to be frankly desesperante. The Brazilian midfield player had the opportunity to turn into a key player during the next weeks, in which it will not be Ousmane Dembélé by injury. Nevertheless, it seems that Ernesto Valverde is beginning to lose the faith in the carioca.
The FC Barcelona played an important party in Benito Villamarín against the Real Betis, what discerned like the first opportunity of Coutinho for lucirse after the absence of 'the mosquito'. Nevertheless, the Txingurri opted for leaving him out of the eleven headline and employ a change of system, playing with a 4-4-2.
In the centre of the field, the Txingurri included important novelties by the format, more than by his members. To the already usual Ivan Rakitic, Sergio Busquets and Arthur Melo, joined Arturo Vidal, to give fortress to the medullary and counter the control of the Andalusian team, that always looks for the possession.
It is not excuse. Robert Fernández always sold to Coutinho like the relief generacional of Andrés Iniesta by his driving, his vision of game and his precision in the pass, attributes more than sufficient to endow to the team of this control to counter to the Betis. At all of this cost him to the '7' to be headline.
Uncertain future of Coutinho
The problem with the ex of the Liverpool begins to be important, since in these moments can that Valverde already have lost by complete his confidence in the Brazilian. A lot they will have to change the things until final of season so that the club do not pose seriously listen offers by him.
In the Premier League, Coutinho is a footballer that still has poster and clubs like the Manchester United are following him closely. The problem is that if the final decision with him is to sell him this same summer, will cost a lot recover the tremenda investment of 160 million euros that the FC Barcelona did by him recently more than a year.
