Hardly it has enjoyed of 25 minutes with the T-shirt of the FC Barcelona, but Philippe Coutinho already has captivated to all the fans culés. In the changing room of the Camp Nou also there are a lot of illusions put in the Brazilian, something that recognised Ernesto Valverde does some days. However, it is not the substitute of Andrés Iniesta.
The same that they refuse the comparisons every time that appears 'the next Leo Messi' or the 'Messi X (enter any nationality of the world)', fits to stand out, more than ever, that the one of Rio de Janeiro comes to write his own history. The comparisons are odiosas, and more when one lands with the poster of player more expensive of the history of the club.
In these six months, and with the disadvantage of not being able to participate in Champions, the midfield player will have to centre in pulir his defects and fit his a lot of virtues, something that, as it could see in his debut, goes him to go out practically natural. For this has the help of all, from some mates delivered to the recently arrived, especially his fellow Luis Suárez, to a technical body that is convinced.
So equal and so distinct
Although Iniesta and Coutinho share lane and a very upper quality to the average, his qualities are, to his time, quite distinct. Both will be able to grow from the class of the another, if in addition to giving them reliefs, the Txingurri decides to combine them. The one who has to win, to end of accounts, is the Barça, that adds a magician more to his staff with a profile that will fit without too many problems in the Barcelona philosophy. It will not be another Iniesta, but yes will be Coutinho.
