Barcelona signing Coutinho: I now live in a safe country

Philippe Coutinho is delighted to be living in Barcelona again.

The €160m signing has already experienced the city during a short spell with Espanyol.

He said, "It's an amazing city, very beautiful, it has a beach, it's not very cold, you have sun every day, we lived here for five months and we liked it very much.

"Ronaldinho was always my idol, all the Brazilians who have passed through here are great, they built a beautiful story but Ronaldinho was always my idol."

Coutinho also stated: "I work hard to get my dreams and the things I want, I am a person very dedicated to soccer, my passion.

"Football has given me everything, I have overcome some things thanks to football, I now live in a safe country and in a very big city thanks to football and I can help my family."
