4 Barcelona players who have improved their game under Ernesto Valverde

#3 Phillipe Coutinho

The Brazilian wing wizard - Phillipe Coutinho

Words struggle to describe how immensely happy the Cules are to see Coutinho playing for the Blaugrana. His talents are unmatched, and his love for the club is unbelievable.

Phillipe Coutinho was titled as 'The heir to Iniesta', and he has not failed to keep up to the expectations, not at all. From scoring stunning long-range goals to playing breath-taking passes, Coutinho does it all. The Brazilian has bagged four goals and an assist for Barcelona this term.

His exorbitant price tag did not pressurize him to perform well, the way most people expected. Instead, it helped him even better to prove himself to the Camp Nou crowd, and he has certainly won plenty of hearts.

His abilities to create as well as score is only improving under Ernesto Valverde and the Spanish manager has placed faith in his signing by starting him ahead of the likes of Dembele and Munir.

The last season, he looked a bit uncomfortable playing at Iniesta's position, because the defensive duties he had were significant. However, he now plays as a left winger and is a proven destroyer.

His understanding with Messi and Suarez helps him perform even better, and the Brazilian is drastically improving with time.
