Now or never: Coutinho, in front of the moment of the truth

The crack Brazilian, that arrived to Barcelona recently more than a year in smell of crowds, is crossing a second season aciaga. Although it landed to half course 2017-2018, and could not contest the Champions League with the Barça for having it done already with his previous club, his first months no only were quite ilusionantes if no that did to presage a second year in that it exploded definitively all his talent. But at all more far of the reality.

In the present season, overcoat in the last months, Coutinho has gone in in a species of negative spiral that does him seem in a lot of occasions a mediocre footballer. It is a pity, but to each party that happens sees him more turn# off, without spark and without offering hardly details of his known quality. It sees him desubicado, by more than Valverde have not left to trust he. Although it was known that they treat of different players, one of the options was that this year it inherited the role of Iniesta in the left interior, but does not finish of cuajar in this zone. Neither like left-handed extreme, to take advantage of his privileged right leg and desbordar inside, assisting to his mates or even exploding one of his main arms: the far shot.

Perhaps the fact to having been the most expensive signing of the history of the Barça, circumstance that to another would serve him of stimulus, weighs him like a losa because of his character a so much introvertido. But it is not excuse. It surprises to see how the Brazilian was a leader in the Liverpool, and here in the Barcelona is one more. By his attitude can that he same was sopesando that the best was to look for another team, since it does not fit neither sees him with determination for enderezar the course of his game.

Dembélé Seems to have him taken advantage, so much in provision on the field as in the preferences of the fans. And this that the year happened the papers seemed invested between both. The whistles that the French listened the past season, begin to go directed with strength to Coutinho, that no longer is considered like an indisputable in the alignments. His mates and even his trainer have gone out to the step defending him of the criticisms of the last days. It is the case of Hammered, that encourages him to offer the best of his game in the straight decisive that encara the team.

And if the fans has begun to lose the patience with the 'carioca', to this does not remain him another that claim in the next and transcendental parties. The first in the horizon is the turn of eighth of Champions against the Olympique of Lyon this Wednesday in the Camp Nou. The possible absence of Dembélé by injury increases the options of titularity for Coutinho, that would accompany to Messi and Suárez in the avant-garde of the group of Valverde, and even could throw a hand in the centre of the field. It is very likely that the 'txingurri' opt for populating the average, since the eliminatory is very opened with the 0-0 of the gone and to the fixed Rakitic and Busquets could join Arturo Vidal by his good moment of form and because it contributes more muscle, or Arthur Melo to endow to the team of more control. In any case, foresees that Coutinho was between the elected of start in front of the French group.

Everything or at all for Coutinho in the Barça
