Philippe Coutinho says he's a better player for working with Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers.

The Brazilian midfielder inked terms to 2020 yesterday.

Of Rodgers, he told LFC TV: "He's great. He's constantly talking to me and the squad. I feel I have evolved very much under his management.

"Tactically, he's been very helpful to me - I've learnt things like how to play and mark the opponent without the ball."
