Philippe Coutinho is delighted with the way he's been welcomed to Liverpool.

He has earned plenty of praise from Reds boss Brendan Rodgers for his efforts so far, with the 20-year-old having shown that he is capable of handling the rigours of English top-flight football.

Coutinho told Globo Esporte: "I have been very well received here, everyone has treated me really well and the club is like a family, even with so many great idols playing here.

"The style here is much more physical. That was hard during my first few weeks here.

"In Italy they have more tactical discipline, marking is tighter, so there is less space. Here it is faster, there are more spaces to play in, but I also have to be faster. It's a lot better playing in England."
