In Villa's Premier League match against Manchester United this morning, Coutinho scored two goals on the bench to help Villa draw 2-2 with Manchester United. According to the British media "Daily Mirror", Coutinho, who was loaned from Barca to Villa, talked about his time at Barca in an interview, saying that there were many ups and downs there, but it has become a thing of the past.
Talking about his career at Barca, the Brazilian said: "I had some ups and downs there, but it's a thing of the past. ”
Coutinho hopes to get off to a fresh start at Villa, scoring two goals at Manchester United proves that the 29-year-old Brazilian can still find his own new world on the pitch. He said he couldn't wait for the Premier League, saying: "I've missed a lot of games before and I'm very excited to be here with my new team-mates. It's a good start, we've always believed in what we can, we haven't lost and we're going to keep going. ”
"There was a bit of tension before the game, I didn't speak English very well and I prefer to play on the pitch rather than go for the bombshell. I was happy for my first race and I wanted to work hard and continue to improve to better form. Now I miss the Premier League a little bit, I came to Villa for the club's goals and the coach and I both want to do a good job to help my team-mates and the club. I'm focused on the goals of the club and the manager and I want to work well and help my team-mates and the club. ”
After this season's loan, Villa can buy out Coutinho's contract for £33m, but it depends on whether Coutinho can continue to play well.
