Coutinho's signing with Villa on loan from Barca is a major move in this year's winter window, and former Liverpool teammate Gerrard as Villa manager is the main reason for his choice. However, in this game against Manchester United, Kubird did not start, but stood on the bench.

Coming off the bench and passing in 5 minutes, Ku bird dominated the game and saved the new owner. It is as if he has never left the Premier League, and he does not need to adapt at all, so it seems that only the Premier League is the sky where he can spread his wings and soar!
Only, seeing Coutinho perform so well, will Barca regret it? Maybe, maybe not, he didn't play at camp Nou anyway, the loan left, it also helped Felan Torres register, maybe, that's the best of both worlds.
