Ronaldinho’s irksome comments will frustrate Liverpool fans

“Talking about Philippe brings me a lot of happiness.

“He’s a player I admire. Seriously, it brings me joy watching him. I believe that Spanish football has everything that is attractive to him. It suits his style.

“Barcelona doesn’t have any particular ­attraction for Brazilian players. But if he – or anyone – is to succeed there, they must play with passion. And they have to be happy.

“Then it’s just down to the ­player’s own imagination as to whether they ­succeed.”

When fit, Coutinho’s been nothing short of world-class for Liverpool this season, despite the summer transfer saga.

Following Coutinho’s goal and assist against Southampton at the weekend, a stat emerged which proves the playmaker is on the cusp of greatness.

In his past 14 Premier League games, he’s been directly involved in 15 goals – crazy considering much of this time has been spent in a deeper midfield position.

This suggests at least that Coutinho isn’t downing tools while he waits for a Barca switch.

For Liverpool, that’s positive, and will hopefully enable our no.10 to enjoy a brilliant campaign, which will boost his 2018 transfer fee to astronomical levels.
