Liverpool's Coutinho: English football more enjoyable than Italy

Philippe Coutinho says he feels at home in Liverpool.

Coutinho signed for the Reds in January from Inter Milan.

"I enjoy it here more than Italy because you have to think quicker and the pace of the game is faster," he explains. "I'm well aware the fixture Liverpool versus Manchester United creates legends.

"I know how important it is to the supporters and throughout the week I've been doing everything I can to prepare myself mentally so I perform well. But what matters is if we win we will have nine points from three games.

"I'm aware it's only the start of the season but to have such a good position is important."
