da winzada777： Former Liverpool midfielder Paul Ince has made a surprise claim that James Milner is more important to the club than Philippe Coutinho.
da bet esporte： The Brazilian playmaker is widely regarded as the Reds’ best player having scored 21 Premier League goals and created 12 assists in the past two seasons.
This summer, numerous media outlets around Europe have claimed that Barcelona are in the hunt for the 25-year-old’s signature, but so far there is no movement.
If Coutinho were to leave before the end of August, it would present a hammer blow to Jurgen Klopp and his team’s chances of success this season.
However, Ince, who spent two years at Anfield, believes that Milner is more vital to the club due to his versatility on the pitch.
The former England international has played as a winger and a midfielder during his career, and now he has slotted into the left-back role – a position that he has held since the start of last season.
Klopp preferred to play Milner ahead of traditional full-back Alberto Moreno last season, but there is uncertainty over the 31-year-old now that Andrew Robertson from Hull City has joined the club.
While discussing the future of Coutinho during ITV4’s coverage of the Audi Cup in Germany, Ince said:
“Forget Coutinho, James Milner is Liverpool’s best player. He can play in every position.”
