On this Premier League night, Coutinho managed to grab the headlines, and Kubird, who returned to the Premier League after 4 years, passed in 5 minutes from the bench, and Manchester United's defenders could not do anything about him. Coutinho was almost seamless with Villa, and despite playing less than 30 minutes, he became one of Villa's best performers.
First look at Coutinho's highlight moments of this campaign, in the 77th minute, Coutinho and Chukumeka played a kick against the wall, the Ku bird in the penalty area, Ramsey got the ball for the first time left foot attack. In the 82nd minute, Buendia's direct pass, Ramsey inserted a low cross into the box, Coutinho wrapped up in place and fired a close-in shot into the net. With assists + goals, Coutinho only took 5 minutes.
After the game, Coutinho said in an interview that he missed the Premier League very much, and although his career had ups and downs, everything was over. Working with former Liverpool team-mate Gerrard, Coutinho regained the joy of playing football, and as can be seen from the performance of Coutinus in this game, Villa made a very good deal, and Coutinho's instant combat power is what every team needs.
Under the contract, Villa is responsible for about 70% of Coutinho's salary during his loan period, with a 35 million euros buyout clause attached to the contract. If Coutinho continues today's excellent performance and Gerrard remains Villa's manager until this summer, then Villa is quite likely to buy out the Curry bird. Barca spent a total of 160 million euros to get Coutinho from Liverpool that year, but Coutinrich never really integrated into Barca, and perhaps the Premier League is his "original league".
In fact, it is not that Coutinho's ability is not enough to match Barca, but the coach does not have his "instruction manual", whether it is Koeman or Xavi, they are just holding the attitude of trying it out, Gerald is the one who really knows Coutinho. From teammate at Liverpool to mentor now, Gerrard knows what Coutinho can do and is willing to let the Brazilian play a central role in his team. After this dreamy debut, Coutinho is bound to occupy a more important position in Gerrard's team. Seeing Coutinho's return to premier League debuts, do Barca regret letting the Brazilian go?
