DBasia.news – FC Barcelona is not the perfect club this season in Spain or Europe. Even so, Barcelona can still perform consistently in the 2018/19 season and occupy the La Liga standings.
Not to stop there, the Blaugrana will also be preparing to challenge Olympique Lyon in the last 16 of the Champions League. Finally, Lionel Messi and his friends have also secured a place in the Copa del Rey semifinals and will soon challenge their eternal rivals, Real Madrid.
However, this season does not seem to side with one of their players, Philippe Coutinho. Even after a season at the Camp Nou, the Brazilian was struggling to get into the main squad and often started the match from the bench. In fact, he was also associated with the club’s exit several times.
After a long silence, his team-mate Luis Suarez finally spoke up and revealed what was the factor in the declining performance of the 26-year-old player.
“I have a very good relationship with Philippe Coutinho and always try to provide him supports at all times. He always looks happy while undergoing training sessions,” said Suarez quoted by the Liverpool Echo.
“In the training session or while in the middle of the match, Coutinho should not think about the status that he is one of the most expensive players in Barcelona’s history. He must continue to show progress with the help of other teammates,” added the former Ajax Amsterdam player.
As is known, Coutinho was plotted by Barcelona as a successor to Neymar, but he was successfully brought in in the January 2018 transfer market from Liverpool at a pretty fantastic price, 135 million Euros.
If the player, who also have defended Inter Milan previously, finally had to leave the Camp Nou, then Coutinho did not need to find difficulties on finding a new club, because Manchester United and Chelsea were rumored to bringing him in.
