Although chemistry throughout the entire squad is important, footballers will always have certain individuals they bond with better than others. In Phillipe Coutinho’s case, it’s Roberto Firmino who he outlined as his ‘best friend’ at the club.
“We have a good understanding,” Coutinho explains, “I really enjoy playing with Roberto and we are close friends. We both speak Portuguese. The two of us, plus Lucas and Alberto (Moreno), spend time together away from football.”
The three Brazilians and the Spaniard seem inseparable at times, regularly featured as a quartet during the team’s off time and, only in December were they all found meeting up at a Disney-themed children’s party with their respective families. It came not long after Coutinho himself had treated his wife and daughter Maria to see Disney on Ice at the Echo Arena – there certainly seems to be a pattern in what the Brazilian likes to do with his spare time.
