Ex Germany star, Lothar Matthaus has said that he thinks that Philippe Coutinho and Robert Lewandowski could be a “dream duo”.
He said Coutinho is a player he feels can really complement the “most complete No. 9” in the world.
Coutinho recently joined Bayern on loan from Barcelona, wrapping up a prolonged transfer saga just two years after the midfielder joined the Spanish side.
He featured in this past weekend’s win over Schalke, replacing Thomas Muller in the 57th minute.
Lothar has now disclosed that he has watched Coutinho enough to conclude that he and Lewa can take Bayern far in the UCL.
His words, “Coutinho flashed off his fine technique in the 30 minutes that Niko Kovac gave him at Schalke, and he seems to have arrived in Munich with great pleasure, especially with Robert Lewandowski,”
“This can become an absolute dream duo in Germany and Europe, the Brazilian magic foot and the best striker in the world. Of course, I repeat myself, because I emphasize for years that Robert for me is the best and most complete No. 9 out there.”
“The most incredible thing about him is that he has played 96 per cent of the possible competitive games for Bayern since he got there, which makes me realize that he does not really make enough money for these incredible statistics,”
“A player with such a record, even apart from his goals, would have to make even more money in relation to someone who only plays 50 or 60 percent of the possible games.”
