Coutinho became the star signing of Aston Villa this Friday during the winter market. The ex-azulgrana arrives at the English club thanks to the interest shown in him by his new coach, Steven Gerrard. However, a former teammate of the legendary former Liverpool midfielder does not agree on the suitability of his signing. It’s about Jamie Carragher. The former captain of the Anfield team celebrated that the rumors about Liverpool’s interest in the Brazilian have not come to fruition and expressed himself emphatically on Twitter: “Coutinho to Liverpool? No!”
Steven Gerrard, on the other hand, is enthusiastic about the arrival of Coutinho to his team: “Sixty-three games for Brazil, a series winner, he played for Barcelona, he was incredible at Liverpool. I can understand why so many fans from all over the world the country speak of him. I don’t think they’ll give you the nickname Mago if you’re not a special footballer. He is someone I have incredible respect for ”.
To celebrate 25 years since his debut, Carragher has responded to questions from followers on Twitter. A Manchester United fan sent him a sarcastic question: “How many Premier League titles do you have?” To which the former Liverpool footballer responded with the same irony: “The same number of Champions that Cantona has.”
