Philippe Coutinho’s shocking response after defeating Manchester United’s win over Aston Villa in Week 22 of the 2021-2022 Premier League will be discussed in this article. Apart from being happy to help Aston Villa get up, Philippe Coutinho is frankly unable to speak English.
In fact, before defending Aston Villa this week, Philippe Coutinho had six years (2012-2018) in uniform for another English League club, Liverpool. The language factor is what makes Philippe Coutinho nervous about playing the match.
“Yes, I’m a little nervous. I don’t speak English very well, I prefer to play and be on the pitch than keep talking,” Philippe Coutinho quoted from Sky Sports, Sunday (16/1/2022).
The match itself took place at Villa Park, England on Sunday (16/1/2022). The Villains -Aston Villa’s nickname – fell behind through two goals from Bruno Fernandes (6′ and 67′). However, Philippe Coutinho who came on in the 68th minute changed everything.
The Brazilian player immediately showed his spurs by sending assists to Jacob Ramsey (77 ‘). Not only that, Philippe Coutinho also managed to score one goal after taking advantage of the inattentiveness of the Red Devils back line – the nickname of Manchester United.
Reflecting on the results of the match, Philippe Coutinho said he was very happy to be able to impress in his debut with Aston Villa. Despite the draw, Coutinho believes the result is a good start for him with Aston Villa.
“I’m very happy to be here, getting to know my team-mates who I know. Yes, it was a good start, we had a good game, we kept believing until the end we could win the game, but we didn’t lose,” said Philippe Coutinho.
“I’m happy, it was the first game. We are moving forward and I am working hard to improve and be in better shape,” hopes the player who is on loan from Barcelona. The draw against Manchester United makes Aston Villa sit in 13th place in the 2021-2022 Premier League standings with 23 points.
Steven Gerrard’s squad maintains hope of getting into the top 10. Meanwhile, Manchester United is stuck in seventh position in the standings with 32 points. Furthermore, Coutinho and colleagues will travel to Everton on Saturday 22 January 2022.
