Aston Villa’s new boy, Jhon Duran, is loving life and he is enjoying every bit of playing alongside some top-quality players at his new club.
One man that is deemed one of the most talented, if not the most talented, at Aston Villa is Philippe Coutinho, who is impressing Duran in training, as he posted on Twitter.
Villa’s official Twitter account posted a clip of the Brazil star dancing and weaving his way in training during a small-sided game, before linking up with Ollie Watkins and scoring a brilliant goal, it resulted in Duran posting the following message on his socials: ‘Fulfilling the dream of seeing this magic live’.
CAN COUTINHO RE-FIND HIS MAGIC?
With zero goals and assists to his name this season, 12 months on from joining Aston Villa, things aren’t going well for the 30-year-old.
That magic Coutinho is showcasing in training, just hasn’t been visible on the pitch, but fans will be hoping Unai Emery can turn that around for the playmaker.
There was talk of Coutinho possibly leaving during the January transfer window, but he publicly came out and shut down those rumours and made it clear that he is very happy in B6.
The former Liverpool and Barcelona man is getting the backing and support from the fans. Emery is also throwing his support towards the player.
It’s now the time for him to turn things around and save his Villa career because, in truth, if he continues to slide or not improve during these next few months, then his career in the Midlands might just be over in the summer.
However, he needs to look at the positives and that’s the fact that he was producing during moments last season.
And if Coutinho does pick up his form, then it can be game-changing for the team and their quest to push for those European places this term, as they are three points behind seventh spot.
