The 24th round of the Premier League has once again staged a goal battle, with Villa and Leeds United contributing three goals each, making it one of the most goals scored so far in this round. In this game, Coutinho, who was introduced during the winter transfer period, once again staged a brilliant performance, scoring 1 goal and giving 2 assists in 13 minutes, the best player in the game, and head coach Gerrard also cheered for his wonderful performance. After the game, many fans turned on the ridicule mode again: "Barça anti-fraud overnight", "Barca was deceived" and so on.
On the issue of Coutinho at Barca, it has been introduced many times in the previous article, it is not that Barca has been deceived, but that Coutinho really does not fit into Barca's system, but their transfer vision is problematic, and now the personal is still the original point of view, Coutinho, who played well in the Premier League, you may never see in Barca. It's not a matter of personal strength, but of the team's tactical style, and Coutinho, who is good at opening and closing, went to Barca, which emphasizes control, not only feels constrained, but the team also has difficulty giving him the opportunity to play.
Taking the recent games as an example, it can be seen that Coutinho is significantly different in the Premier League and in La Liga. In this match between Villa and Leeds United, Coutinho is the offensive hub of Villa's frontcourt, and almost all of the threat attack is directly related to him, 1 straight block, 2 key passes to create opportunities, and is one of the few players in the team who can create opportunities on the offensive end. And this is also the reason why Gerrard is willing to introduce Coutinho, but also he hopes that the team will change after Coutinho comes, this move, Gerald is the biggest winner.
Back in the familiar Premier League, Coutinho's excellent performance is also inseparable from the team's tactical style. First of all, there is a big difference between the style of the Premier League and La Liga, the teams in La Liga are more delicate, which also makes them more like to control the game, but the style of the Premier League is more tough, and the way of opening and closing gives Coutinho more room to play, no need to rush with the ball too much, pass the ball in place, the right opportunity to complete the attack near the big box is enough, just like everything he did at Liverpool before.
The second point is the problem of the role of the squad and the use of the method, Coutinho did not get in La Liga, in Gerrard's team, which is also the key to his ability to play well. At this time, it is necessary to highlight Gerrard, after coming to Villa, the change he has brought to this team is not only in the stability of the results, he has brought this team a complete construction idea and the team's tactical style, at this point, he can already see the trend of success.
