If Liverpool are able to win the league on Sunday, they need help from Aston Villa.
Then the fans asked for help from the former Liverpool star Coutinho.
“I’ve had a lot of messages from Liverpool fans,” he told the Daily Mail.
He scored 54 goals in 201 matches for Liverpool before moving to Barcelona. There was no success and in January Coutinho was loaned to Aston Villa.
Liverpool fans are now hoping the 29-year-old will help them in their pursuit of the league title, with Manchester City having a one-point difference ahead of the final round.
In order for Liverpool to win the title, they must win their home game against Wolverhampton at the same time that City are losing points to Villa.
I’ve had many messages from Liverpool fans on social media but I don’t check them often. He told the Daily Mail I only care about my new team and want to play well here, so my focus is only on the game.
Coutinho hopes he can help Liverpool.
We want to finish the season well against a great team. We want to finish at the highest possible table and we want to win all of our matches. But City are among the best teams in the world and it is always difficult to play with them, he continues.
He talks about his relationship with Gerrard
Aston Villa is managed by Liverpool star Steven Gerrard and Coutinho says it was he who made him move to the club last winter.
– I came here because of him. I didn’t need much time to think because it was such a great opportunity for me so I was very happy.
A few weeks ago, it was reported that Villa had bought Coutinho for around SEK 230 million and he is looking forward to continuing the collaboration with his former teammate.
– Call him now, but he was always the coach, when I played with him he was the captain and captain of the team. As a coach, he’s great, he’s always open to talk if you need him and everyone here respects him and looks up to him, he says.
