Philippe is a Brazilian player and, as it happens with most Brazilians, he has a special magic in his feet, said Pochettino.
Aside from the magic that he has, he also has an amazing work rate and that makes us doubt whether he fits the mould of a typical Brazilian player or a European one, because his work ethic is outstanding.
What is important about him is he is a good lad, a good kid - a great, humble person. I do think Coutinho has that same quality that Ronaldinho and Messi have, but he has much to prove yet. What is really clear to me is that Coutinho is a really responsible player - really dedicated and responsible to his own players.
Fans either love the mercurial genius or hate his
bad boy reputation. They may be equally divided
over his choice of tattoo inspired footwear too.
Luis Suarez will wear the new adidas F50 boots
for the first time on Saturday against Ray
Vallecano. He will be the only player wear the tattoo footwear (Hate/love)
The left boot features a menacing skull design
to represent strength, power and hatred
