The 22nd round of the Premier League ushered in the aston villa and Manchester United, and the opening red devils Manchester United scored the second goal of B. Fimei in the 67th minute of the second half, but what fans did not expect was that the outcome of the game was far from simple.
In the 77-81st minute, Villa scored two goals in a row to equalize, and the two teams ended in a 2-2 draw, and Coutinho, the "newcomer" with one pass and one shot, became Villa's biggest contributor to this game.
After the transfer to Barca in 2018, Coutinho's career can be said to have been not smooth, he could not integrate into the tactics and was rented to Bayern, and after returning, he continued to sit on the bench. Why did the once mighty Liverpool midfield core collapse in La Liga? Is it incompatible with Barca's technical and tactical incompatibilities, or is it incompatible with different La Liga features? Actually, there are both.
Coutinho was able to carry the banner of the Reds' attacking core during his time in the Premier League, which proved that the player still has a certain personal ability. But what we need to know is that the Premier League is very different from La Liga and Barcelona.
Although the style of play of the Premier League team has long been not rough, the individual skills of the defenders are still relatively rough, especially the British defenders from the English academy, physical confrontation is the first priority of their defense. Forwards generally get more one-on-one chances against Premier League defenders than team-style defence in La Liga, and that's where Coutinho comes in.
The Brazilian player's footwork is not the top in the Premier League, but it can definitely be described delicately in England, which makes him a person who can embroider among a bunch of rough guys, and his body can also adapt to the intensity of the Premier League, and the pass and shot he created is not accidental, whether it is in La Liga, which is more about team defense, or more about individual attack in the Bundesliga, Coutinho can't play such a performance.
The Premier League is indeed the most suitable league for Coutinho, not to mention that Vera, a mid-range team, can give him the care of the tactical core tilt, and there are also sappers who can do dirty work, which is not more comfortable than forcing into Barca to play any passing football?
However, for a midstream team like Villa, in fact, it is not easy to really win Coutinho, after all, the player's high value and salary are there, and not everyone can afford to raise such a high-paid player.
If there is no accident, Coutinho is likely to return to Barca after the end of the loan, and at that time, perhaps Barca want to reduce the price or even transfer it out for free, there will be many red-eyed middle and upper-class teams who are afraid of his salary.
