Brazil superstar Kaka has told Brendan Rodgers to build his Champions League-chasing Liverpool team around Philippe Coutinho.
Former World Player of the Year Kaka expects great things from 23-year-old Coutinho, who scored a sensational late winner at the weekend away to Stoke.
Kaka said: “I have been a big admirer of Coutinho and he can be a very important player for Liverpool and Brazil.
“There
will be a lot of expectation on him with Liverpool fighting to get back into
the Champions League, but I know that he can handle it.
“One
great player doesn’t make a team, but you can build a team around one great
player, and I believe he can be that player."
He
added: “Coutinho is a humble guy. He won't talk about being able to replace a legend
like Steven Gerrard, and the truth is nobody could ever replace him,
but with Gerrard gone they do need somebody to step up — and he can do that.”
