Philippe Coutinho: 'I need to score more'

Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho has revealed his ambition to add more goals to his game.

The Reds midfielder has won two consecutive Player of the Month awards at the club, but the Brazilian has admitted that he needs to score more to be considered an elite player in an attacking-midfield role.

He told: Sky Sports News: "I think in my position, the big players are the ones that score the goals and make the chances.

"My ambition is to more score goals. I always watch [Ronaldinho videos] and I have said that he is my idol.

"On the pitch I use many of the things I learned in fustal. The short passes, keeping hold of possession and I take that into games now. I played futsal until I was 13."
