Philippe Coutinho finish fichando by the FC Barcelona after some complicated negotiations carried out by the club culé with the Liverpool, previous club of the Brazilian player. The Barcelona directive decided to carry out the his traspaso in January and not expecting to do it in summer in spite of that the Brazilian could not debut in the Champions League for having it done with the Liverpool.

From the sportive direction of the FC Barcelona considered that the arrival of Coutinho would be an important factor to treat to conquer the Glass of Rey and the League Santander. The multiple fan of resources that has the Brazilian midfield player had to serve to approach to the team to the collective successes, although the team could not benefit of this when more it needed it against the Rome.

Coutinho, increasingly adapted

Philippe Coutinho is beginning to show his wide repertoire split to party. One of the shots that call more the attention is the capacity to filter passes in spite of having a lot of markers on. It showed it in front of the Valency with a pass that received Luis Suárez in the interior of the area and that served to put the goal of the FC Barcelona in the marker.

This capacity to filter passes in spite of having a lot of markers on has not showed it only against Valencia, but it already carries several parties doing it. The Brazilian is an expert in this type of played and has a big mental freshness to visualise the desmarque of his mate. This quality is very useful against defences very shut in the area.

Besides, Coutinho has agility and is very difficult to remove him the ball when it has it in possession. The Brazilian is one of the big trileros of the world of the football: it hides the ball, deceives to his marker and can go out of the situation with a dribbling, with a pass or with a shot. His big repertoire does him an unpredictable player.

Ian Rush thinks that will triumph in the Barça
