Brendan Rodgers claimed that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-Sturridge-c10076 were two great buys in the January transfer
window as they helped the club achieve consistency.
The former Swansea City boss stated that Coutinho made a stunning impact since his £8.5 million move from Inter Milan in the winter. The Brazilian scored three goals and accumulated five assists in the 13 league games he took part in and was one of the most
impressive players in the second-half of the campaign.
“When you bring somebody in during January you hope they can make an impact. We are all pleasantly pleased and surprised by how well he has done. His numbers tell you the story in terms of goals and assists,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
Rodgers stated that a player who is just 20-years-old will only grow in talent in the next few years. He added that the player has great physical strength and exceptional pace which makes him even more dangerous for the opposition defenders.
The tactician is hopeful that Coutinho will grow as a player in the next season and expects more impressive performances from the youngster in the upcoming campaign.
“He has genuine man strength. He's 20 years of age but he's not a boy. He can look after himself. His body work is great, he is small in stature. He's been a real find for us in terms of the price we paid. Hopefully his value will be much greater than the
cost in the coming years,” he concluded.
