Philippe Coutinho: I don't dream of inheriting Messi's No 10
The player wants to play for years with the Argentine star
Barcelona's latest signing, Philippe Coutinho, gave an interview to a youtube channel Desimpedidos, speaking about various topics.
Ronaldinho: "He was always my biggest idol. That's one of the reasons that motivated me to come to Barcelona. I followed him a lot when he played at Barca. It was a great era and from Brazil we lived it too."
Messi: "I don't dream of inheriting the No 10 shirt from Messi at Barca. The 10 is his and I hope we can keep playing together for many years."
Barca: "To play beside these great cracks, Iniesta, Messi, Suarez, Paulinho, really, it's so easy. Of course if you get the ball a certain way you have to return it a certain way, you have to adapt to their game. Before coming here I spoke with Ney, a lot with Luis. To play for Barca was always a dream. I always really wanted to play here."
World Cup: "We have to be prepared to take on everyone. Argentina, Germany and Spain are the favourites, Belgium have a lot of good players too."
