To tenor of the seen -and heard- this Saturday in the Camp Nou, is clear that the gesture of Philippe Coutinho just after marking his golazo against the Manchester United, the past Tuesday, did not seat too well to a wide sector of the barcelonismo. The Brazilian was not to title against the Real Sociedad, but went in in the second part to relieve to a turned off Ousmane Dembélé.

A mix of whistles and applauses received him to his entrance to the field, and during the back minutes could listen several whistles every time that touched the balloon to participate in the game of the team. The fans culé, conscious that in general lines 'Cou' has made up to now a disappointing season, is not had to tolerate that the Brazilian allow the luxury to devote gestures to the terracing like the one of the Tuesday.

We remember that Coutinho covered the hearings with the fingers and closed the eyes, with serious face, in a reaction that some understood like a lack of respect to the fans, and others rather like a gesture reivindicativo without too much importance. The question is that the barcelonismo wants that Coutinho, instead of generating controversy, devote to mark more golazos like the one of the past Tuesday and to continue with the good dynamics of game in which it seems that it has gone in during the last weeks.

It is the most expensive signing of the history of the club and his quality is undoubted. But this does not remove that it have to be more regular and offer to the Barcelona a better performance that the one who has reflected in what it goes of campaign. Ernesto Valverde has full confidence in his provision, and shows it giving him minutes in practically each party, was of the competition that was.

The Brazilian, once finish the season 2018-19, will have to do balance and decide if the best for him is to do the cases course to another club or remain in a FC Barcelona in which has agreement, and where still is time to heave the flight again.

The Barcelona needs to the best Coutinho

If it chains several good consecutive performances, and marks some golazo more as the one of the Tuesday to the Manchester United, sure that with the step of the time will win the total pardon of the barcelonismo. Until this suceda, only remains him follow working to have minutes and leadership on the terrains of game. At the beginning of May, who know if will turn into a 'hangman' of the Barça against the Liverpool in Champions League. Of what there is not doubt is that it knows very very Anfield...
