Far they remain, in the imaginary culé, the times in which Philippe Coutinho tieed up the balloon and generated some feeling of illusion and implicit magic with his movements, believing the fans culés that anytime would be able to mark a goal from out of the area, offer an assistance or sign a dribbling endiablado in any part of the field.
From it does months, Philippe Coutinho is not the one who was and his good fame in the breast of the FC Barcelona is paying it expensive. Although the majority of the fans follows trusting that it soon will remount, each party that happens is turning into an opportunity desaprovechada for the one of Rio de Janeiro, that is showing signs of an alarming apathy.
True is that to the start of the second part against the Athletic seemed to recover by moments his best version, but in general lines his performance went back to be disappointing -as the one of the rest of the team, also is necessary to say it-, and threw in fault that went down until the centre of the field to help in the creation of game in the room of machines, taking into account the problems of Arturo Vidal.
Without the Chilean to the best level and without Arthur Melo by injury, Coutinho would have to have assumed more chevrons in the centre of the field to exert of bridge between Rakitic-Busquets and the forward formed by Leo Messi and Luis Suárez. It did not go like this, and instead of this Coutinho struggled by impossible balloons in the position of extreme, without contributing too much depth.
The Brazilian walks lost from does time, and the worst of everything is that the situation does not show signs to solve and, if it follows lengthening with the step of the time, could do mella in the opinion of the barcelonismo on the most expensive signing of the history of the club. And this could cause, therefore, a possible traspaso of 'Cou' if it arrives a good offer in the market of signings, presumably of the Premier League.
Coutinho Is happy in the Barça... For now
Coutinho Always has said that is happy in the FC Barcelona, but does not hide that the things are not him finish to go out in the last months. The pressure that has on his shoulders is increasingly high, and if no removes it to him of on will finish tumbando his possibilities of success in the Barça. What has to do is to think how attained to shine in his first performances with the Barça, relax and enjoy of the moment.
To dig up the 'joga beautiful' of Coutinho is necessary that the player was cheerful and to taste playing, something that is not happening lately. To recover his best version, will be necessary that the Brazilian recover his state of natural spirit... And this only will depend on he.
