Steven Gerrard, coach of Aston Villa, assured that Philippe Coutinho is not happy at Barcelona and that, although he is not at his best level right now, he is confident that he will make it.
Coutinho arrived at Villa in January on loan from Barça, and in the summer he got him in exchange for 20 million euros. After six pretty good months at Villa Park, the Brazilian midfielder hasn’t started at the best level this season and in the eleven games he’s played he hasn’t scored or assisted.
“I have full confidence in him”
“We decided to sign Phillipe, you could see that he was not happy at Barcelona. With his age and the talent he has, I fully trust him. The numbers say he is not at his best level, but we will give him all the support he needs it.” , said Gerrard, criticized for his part as Villa are 16th in the Premier League just one point off the relegation zone ahead of tomorrow’s visit to Fulham.
“He’s working and he’s trying, like the team. Maybe he just needs a little luck to help him believe and trust himself, but he hasn’t lost his talent or class. When he arrived he was very good. His quality is still there. , my opinion of him will not change,” Gerrard concluded.
