5 factors that could help Philippe Coutinho rediscover his best form

#1 Exercising patience

Even the great Lionel Messi has suffered a dip in form

Football is a beautiful game played by human footballers and like every other thing done by humans, none is perfect.

For all of their seemingly superhuman attributes, all players – from great to mediocre throughout history have had their bad spells where things did not seem to go right for them.

No one is immune from this no matter how great they are (read Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo) and when a bad spell comes for a player, he/she can only work their way around it and return to their former levels of greatness.

It is a scene we have witnessed throughout the course of football – legendary players who could seemingly do no wrong with the ball at their feet struggling to perform at their usual levels – and it is one we shall continue to see for as long as football exists.

Since it has been established that all players go through a rough patch in form, it is imperative that patience is shown to the suffering player, with fans and management alike providing the necessary support to see the player through.

While patience might run thin among today’s set of ever demanding sets of fans (in part due to the fast-paced nature of the game), it is pertinent to note that dips in form are a fact associated with all players and as such, the Blaugrana faithful must rally behind Coutinho to get through these trying times and this show of support could help him get over these trying times..
