The ideal position of Coutinho to take out all his potential

One of the big appeals of the party that the FC Barcelona played against the Alavés is that it could see to Philippe Coutinho playing like titling for the first time with the T-shirt of the Barça. Already it had debuted in Glass of the King against the RCD Espanyol, but was going in in the second time. The public that assisted to the Camp Nou, of this form, saw how the most expensive signing of the history of the club split in the eleven initial.

In spite of the Barcelona victory and to the illusion by his titularity, the Brazilian midfield player did not finish to feel comfortable in the party against the Alavés. Ernesto Valverde planted him playing like right extreme, a less usual position in him so much in the Brazilian selection as in the Liverpool, when it still was player of the 'reds'.

Coutinho Put him win, presionó and ran, but did not finish to walk fine in the desborde. In several occasions could see him descolgándose by the centre of the attack to have more incidence in the game, leaving in evidence that in the right band did not feel to taste, since it tried encarar in several occasions although without too much success.

By the left, Coutinho is more comfortable

Unlike the meeting contested in front of the Alavés, in the derbi of Glass of the King against the RCD Espanyol, Philippe Coutinho occupied the left zone of the attack of the FC Barcelona. In said position could him see much looser and finer, so much in the dribbling as to the hour to look for diagonals. A much more similar role to the that developed in the Liverpool.

When Ernesto Valverde recover to Ousmane Dembélé, a man that plays more usually in the right band, Philippe Coutinho will have the opportunity, very probably, to play by the left flank. From here it is him much simpler throw diagonal and tend to come to the centre of the attack, where his capacity of association can turn him into a lethal weapon beside Leo Messi or Luis Suárez.
