Playmaker determined to achieve big this season
Liverpool star man Phillipe Coutinho is targeting to have the most prolific season of his career this year after netting a deadly brace against Arsenal yesterday.
His goals helped his team to a 4-3 win away at the Emirates stadium, and Liverpool’s first 3 points of the season in their opening game.
Coutinho struck on 12 occasions for Liverpool last term, the best return of his Reds career so far, and wants to surpass that tally this time around.
“Yes, I think I can score more this season,” Coutinho told the Liverpool Echo. “I always said that the one thing I really needed to improve was to score more goals.
“I did that last season and now I want to keep on improving. The most important thing is the group. But the more goals I score, the more I can help the team.
“I am happy not only because I scored two goals but because the team played well and we got the three points we wanted.
“We feel good. It was a tough game but we played really well in the second half. It’s the first step for us. To win away at one of our rivals will be good for our confidence.”
