By now, Inter and Italy are just a distant memory: Philippe Coutinho, interviewed by ESPN a year and a half after its his transfer from the Nerazzurri to Liverpool, declares his strong preference of it over the Italian football: “I love playing here, this is a faster and more intense football, very different from the Italian. Since I arrived here, I have learned so much from my teammates and the more experienced players on the team. It’s a very combative and difficult league, I am very happy to play here.”
Coutinho is also happy about his recent call-up to the national team for the matches against Colombia and Ecuador: “When I was called for the first time I was very young, I had just arrived at Inter. And I still had not adapted very well to European football. Today I feel more prepared, I have played a lot of games in Europe. I have been waiting for this call, it was really a good news. Thank’s to God this call came, now I want to do my best.”
