And he is fulfilling his potential at Liverpool . He has that Brazilian talent , honed and developed in Europe , and he will keep getting better . Philippe Coutinho scores a stunning goal against Southampton at St Mary 's in February . Coutinho has scored a number of key goals for Liverpool this season , including against Manchester City . 'He came to us aged 14 and it is a shame we only had him for a short time but the offers for him came very soon . Brazil need players who play the way he does with the close control and passing that he displays . ' Coutinho was overlooked by Luiz Felipe Scolari ahead of last summer 's World Cup but it seems new coach Dunga wants to build his team around his partnership with Neymar .
