Luis Suarez reveals the change he noticed at Philippe Coutinho in Barcelona

Luis Suarez remarked that Philippe Coutinho was more relaxed on the training ground than when he showed up in Barcelona, ​​which may be behind his dive.

The Brazilian had to fill the gap left by Andres Iniesta when he joined the Catalan giants of Liverpool this season last season.

But things did not go exactly as planned for Coutinho, who was even linked to a departure from the Nou camp during the transfer in January.

Suarez is a good friend of the Brazilian midfielder and has revealed why he thinks he has struggled for fitness in recent months.

"Because of the relationship I have with Philippe, I have tried to help and support him at all times and I have always seen him with the best possible predisposition, with joy in training, "said Suarez to Mundo Deportivo.

"Then, when playing, some focus more than others, this can happen in being angry or sad."

Suarez thinks Coutinho needs to focus on what he does best on the pitch and not worry about what's going on around him to combat his lack of self-confidence.

He added: "He should not train or go out on the pitch thinking that he is the most expensive player in the history of Barcelona, ​​but continues to improve day. after day with the players that he owns. "
