#9 World Cup Winner... Kind of?
Trending
As well as having impressed domestically with Liverpool and on occasion with the Brazilian national team, Coutinho also sought success with his nation’s U20s team. Brazil lifted the U20s World Cup in Colombia in 2011, with Coutinho a regular starter.
The now 24-year-old contributed two goals to the team’s group stage campaign, before solidifying a place in midfield in the knockout rounds, supplying the ‘Player of the Tournament’ Henrique, with a host of chances as the tournament progressed. It’s certainly one of the lesser-known accolades which Coutinho boasts, but it’s equally as admirable.
