#2 He’s nicknamed the ‘Little Magician’
Regardless of the modesty Coutinho shows off the field, on it, he oozes with confidence and has morphed into one of the continent’s premier playmakers, able to play on the flank, behind the striker or as a lone-man himself.
Just shy of 5’ 8”, the Brazilian has a small frame which give him a low centre of gravity, making him more nimble, agile and effective in a crowded final third. The Liverpool fans fondly call their star No. 10 ‘Little Magician’ for his awareness, passing ability and flair.
His crackling combination of spatial awareness and speed has helped him ‘magic’ up five goals, five assists and 34 goal-scoring opportunities for the Merseysiders in the league so far this campaign.
