In case didn’t know…
Phillipe Coutinho joined Barcelona for £142 million from Liverpool in the January transfer window of 2018 and is touted as the natural successor to Andres Iniesta.
It began well enough for the Brazillian at the Camp Nou as he scored 10 goals in 22 appearances during his first half season with the club. However, he suffered from injuries and a poor form this season and started in just 13 LaLiga games.
The Brazillian was linked with a move away from a club last month and was often criticized by fans and pundits for his poor performances.

Hristo Stoichkov wrote a letter of support to Coutinho, published in Catalan newspaper Mundo Deportivo, and pleaded him not to leave the club.

Stoichkov also revealed the one thing Coutinho needs to do in order to rediscover his confidence.
What’s next?
Barcelona will play Real Madrid for the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals next and the Brazillian won’t get a better opportunity to showcase his talents.
