Philippe Coutinho is delighted for Liverpool teammate Raheem Sterling over the recognition he's receiving.
The England midfielder has been outstanding for club and country in 2014.
"It is likely Raheem Sterling will be one of our stars," he says without hesitation about the new golden boy of English football.
"He is having a very good time and is in very good shape. I believe he will do quite well in the Champions League, he's very fast - I know I don't have the speed to catch him!
"I've not been surprised at all by his performances this season, including for England. We train together every day so I know his potential. I'm confident this will be a good season for him."
