Liverpool fans react as Coutinho and Firmino link up again for Brazil – 'We made them!'
LIVERPOOL fans have been traumatised after seeing Reds star Roberto Firmino link up with former team-mate Philippe Coutinho during Brazil's win over Costa Rica.
Some Liverpool fans have only just come to terms with losing Philippe Coutinho in January, and Brazil’s win over Costa Rica will not have helped matters.
The Barcelona star, who moved from Anfield to the Nou Camp in January for a whopping £142million, played a staring role in the 2-0 victory.
Liverpool supporters will have been painfully reminded of Coutinho’s time in England when the midfielder latched onto current Reds striker Roberto Firmino’s knockdown to break the deadlock late on.
While some fans on Twitter have tried to give Liverpool the credit for the combination, others are obviously upset to see such a potent partnership resurrected.
