Philippe Coutinho has taken to Instagram to send a message to Liverpool ace Roberto Firmino.
The Brazilian forward scored a late winner for the Reds in their 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday, and took to social media to post a photo from that match.
Responding to that post, Coutinho wrote: “Craque joga muito”, which translates roughly to “Ace plays a lot”.
OPINION
The Liverpool juggernaut rolls on for another week. It looked for all the world as if the Reds were about to drop points for just the second time this season when Wilf Zaha netted for Palace on Saturday, but that fear lasted little more than three minutes as Firmino was on hand to find a late winner. That goal capped a fine performance from the Brazilian, who also registered four shots and a pass completion rate in excess of 92%, as per Whoscored. All of that led to a match rating of 7.49, and full credit to him for another outing that illustrated how, bit by bit, he is beginning to step out of the shadow that has been cast by Sadio Mane and Mo Salah in recent seasons. Firmino is now a huge threat in his own right, and he is fully deserving of each and every plaudit that is thrown his way as his hot streak of form continues.
