Welcome to Full name: Philippe Coutinho Correia Date of birth: 12 June 1992 (age 20) Birthplace: Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) Height: 1.72 m (5 ft 8 in) Weight: 72kg (11.3 stone) Positions: LW, RW, CAM. Foot: Both (right strongest). Stats Over the last year Coutinho has scored 7 goals in 40 shots. That’s a goal every 5.7 shots. Luis Suarez has scored 16 Premier League goals with 129 shots this season; an average of one goal every 5.9 shots. In the same period Coutinho has crafted 25 goal scoring opportunities, while completing 77% of his passes. Coutinho conceded possession just 10 times this season, underlining his good control and intelligent use of the ball. During his loan spell at Espanyol, Coutinho won 1.8 tackles and made 1.4 interceptions per game. Carlos Tevez, one of the hardest working forwards in the Premier League, averages 0.8 and 0.5 per game respectively. Coutinho averaged a goal every 235 minutes in La Liga, or a goal every 2.6 games. Coutinho averaged 4.4 successful dribbles per game, the second highest in Serie A, and behind only Hatem Ben Arfa in the Premier League. Playing style Coutinho is an exciting player. Fast, direct and tricky, he’ll be sure to have the crowd on their feet as he turns defenders inside out, though he might also have them sat back down quite quickly on occasion as he attempts to adapt his game to the pace and power of the Premier League. By now you’ve probably exhausted every YouTube showreel on offer (there’s more later if you haven’t), so you’ll have a good idea of what the lad can do at his best. But in the interest of being balanced we’ve enlisted the help of our friend Siavoush again to provide us with a knowledgeable account of the player. Attributes Pace - Coutinho is fast. It’s common to see him accelerate past his opponents. Skill / control – This kid has some skill. He has many different moves that he likes to use and his control of the ball is beautiful. Strength - Coutinho is short and light. He isn’t very strong but his other qualities compensate for this. Intelligence - He is a smart player. He knows how and where to run and his intelligence both with and without the ball is one of his greatest strengths. Passing / vision - In my opinion these are his best attributes. Don’t be surprised if you see Coutinho play amazing passes to team-mates who aren’t on his level of intelligence. He sees solutions and knows when to pass. He is an assists man; more known for his passing than for scoring, though he has become more reliable in his goalscoring as well. As well as providing assists, he can also be the one who creates an opportunity for another player to provide an assist too. Shooting / composure - Coutinho has a good shot. His composure could improve but he usually tries to find an opportunity to score from all angles. He scores all types of goals but I’d say he’s more of a spectacular goalscorer than the Pippo Inzaghi type of poacher. He sees the solutions in the box and if his shot is on target it’s often very dangerous. Strongest foot - His strongest foot is definitely his right. For skill moves he may use his left, but for passes and shots his right foot is the one he favours. Technique - His technique is great. He, like many other Brazilian players, started out playing futsal (video later) and he still has those skills with him today. He has great technique and can provide truly magical moments at times. Tackling / marking - Since he’s a true attacking player these are his ‘weaknesses’. He’s not the player who should be working hard with man marking and tackling other players; he’s the one you give the ball to if you need a moment of magic in attack which can win you the game. Work rate - This is not the type of attacking player that you’ll see running for the whole game and tracking back his opponents for 90 minutes. Even if he is capable of doing so a good coach knows that he is best in the offensive half of the field and with 100% of his energy on this he can be truly devastating to the opposition. Tactical discipline - During this season when he played we could see Coutinho track back to help the defence. When Inter beat Fiorentina 2-1 at home Stramaccioni pointed him out as the key player in the game because he helped the team with shutting down Borja Valero and Claudio Pizzarro in their build-up play. If he must, he’ll be grateful to help the team in any way he’s asked. Confidence - At the moment it’s difficult to determine anything about this. Though he’s not scared to take on opponents and try to beat them with dribbles, no matter their size, or who it is. It seems Coutinho’s confidence comes with continuity and if he feels that the coach believes in him. Fitness – Coutinho has had some injury problems this season which worried Inter supporters. He came back, and then he’d be injured again a short time after. Or he’d be ready to play, just to get injured again. It’s often muscle strains that keep him out for shorter periods, though he had a serious injury this season. There shouldn’t be any more problems with that one though; the strains are the ones to worry about and at the moment he’s out with a minor injury. Position Coutinho has been used as an offensive midfielder (Trequartista), second striker and on the flanks. This proves that he has many qualities and that he can do well in different positions on the field. In my opinion he should be used as the offensive midfielder, but he also does well on the left wing since he’s often facing less players, can go one-on-one and provide both through balls, crosses and shots. Comparisons We asked Siavoush if there were any well-known players who Coutinho compared to. He said: He’s a bit like Oscar of Chelsea. But with better vision and passing. This is if I really have to compare him to someone. In my opinion he’s special and has his own way of playing. Unlike many other Brazilian talents he doesn’t get too caught up with dribbling but releases the ball when he should and likes assists as much as goals. If I were to compare him to another famous player he could emulate it would be Wesley Sneijder, though Wes is much better with his left foot than I think Coutinho will be. Character Characteristics play a big part in determining how successful a footballer will be. As Siavoush explains, we should have no worries about Coutinho in that respect. Coutinho is a very calm person and a bit shy. He’s married to his girlfriend who has been with him for a long time and when he was asked what he likes to do with his spare time in Milan he said he likes to spend it with his family, friends and girlfriend. Coutinho is down to earth and I wouldn’t expect him to be a trouble maker at all. He enjoys playing football and loves the game, there have never been any reports about him misbehaving in training or behaving badly. He’s a great kid. Language Coutinho speaks Italian and Portuguese. He has not yet had any reason to learn English, although he will likely begin to do so as soon as he arrives in Liverpool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX4H0mOFJgY

Le fils de Rodgers lui ressemble trop !

Il devait se faire opérer de l'épaule qui le gênait mais il a refusé car il voulait jouer la CAN, mais j'arrive plus a trouver la source.

Il y a plus de 90% de chance qu'Assaidi parte cette été à cause du conflit avec Liverpool.

Très intéressant, surtout le passage du match contre Leicester.

Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that Jose Enrique will be out for up to 6 weeks with a hamstring injury.

In the Premier League in 2011/12, Sturridge: -Scored eleven goals, all from open play, which was the joint thirteenth most (with Luis Suarez, amongst others). He was also ranked thirteenth on a ‘minutes per goal’ basis, with one every 206 minutes. -Converted 15% of his shots – the joint seventeenth best rate in the league (for players who attempted at least fifty shots), and better than any Liverpool player managed. -Was coincidentally ranked seventeenth for clear-cut chance conversion (with 38% converted), which was again better than any Liverpool player (again, with a minimum of fifty shots attempted). -Scored with both feet and his head – four with his right foot, five with his left, and two with his head. Was less reliant on one body part to score than all but two of the players (Dzeko and Holt) who scored more goals than him, suggesting he is a good all round finisher. -Scored 82% of his goals inside the box; at a recent fansite event, Brendan Rodgers spoke of needing more players in the box who can score goals. Was joint 20th for accurate through balls per game.

Rodgers après le but de Shelvey contre West Ham !

Dr Steve Peters Liverpool have hired the renowned sports psychiatrist Dr Steve Peters, part of the successful Great Britain cycling team, for what Brendan Rodgers has described as the "mental tuning" required at the elite level of professional sport. Peters, author of The Chimp Paradox and credited as a major influence on the Olympians Sir Chris Hoy and Victoria Pendleton, has added Liverpool to a portfolio of clients that includes the Sky Pro Cycling team and UK Athletics. His arrival, on a one-day-per-week basis, represents a coup for Rodgers in his five-month quest to address the mental strength of all his staff at Liverpool. The consultant psychiatrist also helped Ronnie O'Sullivan before his victory in this year's World Snooker Championship and the former Liverpool player Craig Bellamy in his efforts to come to terms with the death of Gary Speed. The Liverpool manager said: "We have brought in someone who is the top guy in his field, one of the leading guys in the world in what he does. I see it as a part of the development of the player. The modern game is very much about the psychological aspect of it. I do lots of technical, tactical and physical training and sometimes what gets bypassed is the mental tuning for players, especially in the modern game at the top level." Peters will not work exclusively with Liverpool players, who are free to choose whether to use his services, and Rodgers admits the appointment will assist him as manager. He added: "Command can be lonely and it is always good to have other people to turn to when you are trying to lead the club forward. I have my staff around me and they are outstanding, but it is always nice to have a different set of eyes with different experiences. "I have always used neurologists but I took my time when I arrived here to make sure we could get someone who could really help performance. This guy is of that level. I would stress it is not a psychologist. It is neurology." Source : http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/nov/23/brendan-rodgers-liverpool-mind-games Livre : http://www.chimpparadox.co.uk/

Suarez got the equaliser and once again showed just how important he is to Liverpool. A lot was made of how, with eight goals in 11 games, he was the Premier League's joint top scorer and that without his contribution Liverpool would be bottom of the table with just three points.

J'ai jamais dit qu'il allait tout le temps être comme sa, juste que ce match contre Chelsea était particulièrement aboutie de sa part. Sinon quels latéraux tu aime bien en Europe?

On a retrouvé lors de ce match le José Enrique version Septembre-Décembre 2011. Si tu trouve qu'il a fait un match moyen contre Chelsea alors il doit pas y avoir beaucoup de latéraux que tu trouvent bon, il a tout simplement été très bon sur ce match mais avec cependant quelques erreurs mais sa tout les joueurs en font.

source??

C'est sa d'écrire trop vite

Jordan Henderson: "I've actually enjoyed playing at right back. Have been doing it on trainings recently too" On dirait bien que Rodgers veux en faire un arrière gauche.
