Philippe Coutinho has been an inspiration in a floating midfield role which allows him to exert his influence over games, utilising his pace, poise and deftness of touch.

A product of the Vasco da Gama academy, Coutinho continues to show maturity beyond his 22 years. Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is excited by the prospect of his future potential, stating: "He is certainly going to be up there, there is no doubt about that. He has played very well. If he continues to progress the way he has, he will be a world class talent.”
