A young Coutinho shows off his skills
Philippe Coutinho's talents have already made him a fans' favourite at Anfield following his January move from Inter Milan – and this YouTube clip shows our No.10 has long been blessed with exceptional skill…
A clip that dates from 2005 posted on the video-sharing website shows a youthful Coutinho participating in the Brazilian game of 'Futsal', a five-a-side indoor game in which a smaller ball with reduced bounce is used and goals are hockey-sized.
It demonstrates exactly why our No.10 was tipped to make it as a professional footballer from an early age as he bamboozles opponents with a variety of flicks and tricks.
