Coutinho shines

On the morning of September 25, Philippe Coutinho scored in Vasco da Gama's 3-1 victory over Bahia in round 24 of the Brazilian National Championship (Serie A).

Coutinho still shows his worth.

Coutinho scored the equalizer 1-1 in the 45+1 minute, creating momentum for Vasco da Gama's important comeback victory in the Serie A relegation race this season. The three points gained against Bahia helped Vasco da Gama climb to 13th place on the rankings, creating a 5-point gap with the relegation group.

Notably, this was the 4th consecutive match in the Brazilian National Championship that Coutinho scored or assisted. In the last 4 matches, the former Liverpool star scored 3 goals and had 1 assist, making an important contribution to Vasco da Gama's winning streak.

At 33, Coutinho has had a career full of ups and downs, with brilliant peaks mixed with bitter failures. Having shone at Liverpool, then moved to Barcelona for a huge fee, Coutinho's career has declined rapidly. Two years ago, this striker even had to drift to Qatar to play for Al-Duhail.

Returning to his native Brazil to play for Vasco da Gama seems to have been the right decision, as it has helped Coutinho find his inspiration to play football again. With Vasco da Gama struggling to stay in the league, Coutinho has been a great inspiration to help the club overcome difficulties this season. The technical qualities and ability to shine that once made his brand, are now being recreated in his native Brazil.
