Philippe Coutinho insists his summer transfer drama is now a thing of the past and has vowed to give his “maximum” for Liverpool.
“I’m calm. It’s all passed by,” Coutinho is reported as saying by reports, about his failed Barcelona move. “I’m here to defend the colours — to give my maximum.”
Coutinho scored Liverpool’s equaliser in the 1-1 draw with Spartak Moscow in the Champions League on Tuesday night — a result that left the Reds with just two points after as many group-stage matches.
“It wasn’t really the result we wanted,” he added. “But we have to keep working and there are more games, another four games to come.”
The Brazil international has been called up to Tite’s side for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Bolivia and Chile and wants to use every international opportunity to “develop” as a player and a team in time for the World Cup next summer.
“I hope to get called up,” Coutinho said. “With every call-up I want to develop and for us develop as a team in order to be successful.”
