February 3 update: Munich – Philippe Coutinho, Ivan Perisic (who injured himself badly in training on Tuesday) and Michael Cuisance have a real appearance at FC Bayern’s visit to Mainz 05 fragrance brand set. The trio ensured not with sporting achievements for lasting impression, but with the departure through the mixed zone.
When the three of them strolled wordlessly towards the team bus early Saturday evening after winning the FSV away, a cloud of perfume waved over to the waiting journalists.

Philippe Coutinho at FCB: There is no getting past Goretzka
Hansi Flick, whose future was now discussed by President Herbert Hainer, had declared during the winter training camp in Qatar: “The preparation was very good for him.” The Bayern Munich coach took the offensive man to a certain extent, demanding that he “Against Hertha shows what class he has”.

Since then, Flick has been building on the yellow-barred Hertha Joshua Kimmich and Thiago on the double six, swirls in front of it Leon Goretzka, The latter is currently the man Coutinho can’t avoid. Against former club Schalke stood out Goretzka (a goal, a template). He embodies many qualities
that are missing from the Brazilian, In the first place the aggressive work against the ball,
Captain and team-mate Manuel Neuer knows that, emphasized after the Mainz game: “Philippe works great against the ball, better than in the first half of the season. He also invested and worked a lot in the preparation. ”The keeper is convinced that the right foot will“ continue to help ”the record champions. The following words from Neuer should sound even better to him: “It is a matter of time before he will be in the first eleven again.”
Next chance for Hoffenheim: Coutinho allowed to start for FCB?
Maybe on Wednesday (kick off 8:45 p.m.) in the round of 16 against TSG Hoffenheim it will be so far – even if Flick did not want to look at the cards yet. With regard to possible personnel rescheduling, he said: “I haven’t thought about that yet. We have to see how each individual coped with the Mainz game. ”Unlike Alvaro Odriozola under Flick, Coutinho could possibly start again in the top game between FC Bayern and RB Leipzig.
If the Bayern coach lets his Brazilian off the chain, he should be particularly motivated, because from now on every assignment is about the personal future. The 27-year-old is on loan from FC Barcelona until the end of June. If the Munich Coutinho also want to keep, a transfer fee of 120 million euros is due according to the loan agreement. However, it can be excluded that the German record champions actually pay this amount. Spain has also said that Barça is ready for new negotiations. Obviously, in Catalonia, people no longer rely on Coutinho. It remains to be seen whether the change of coach at FC Barcelona will change anything recently.
The Brazilian now has a difficult stand in Munich despite a good record – seven goals, eight assists. In Barcelona, much is in trouble. So it’s easy to imagine that Coutinho will set its fragrance brands at a third club in the future.
Coutinho at Bayern? Flick explains expectations
Original article: 500 million euros, that’s a lot of money. And if you roughly estimate the transfer amounts, then the income that the FC Bayern in the next ten years from Audi, easily enough for a large purchase. In theory, it would be possible for the league croesus to invest 200 million euros in the transfers from Leroy Sané and Kai Havertz in the summer – and also the purchase option for Philippe Coutinho draws. Another around 100 million euros would then be due, FC Barcelona would say thank you.
Coutinho will have listened closely on Tuesday when a new coach was presented at his home club. It’s no secret that the dismissed Barca coach Ernesto Valverde and his former star shopping didn’t get on too well. In Quique Setien now there is a man sitting on the coach chair who has other ideas. Of course, the new one will also deal with Coutinho, which is contractually bound to the Catalans until 2023. From the moment that the second half of the season begins for FC Bayern in Berlin, the Brazilian does not play for a return, but rather for continued employment in Munich.
Philippe Coutinho at FC Bayern: Services on loan from Barca fluctuate
The Bayern bosses have no tendency in the Coutinho Causa because the performances of the star loan player fluctuated. Of course there were those moments – like his appearance in the 6-1 against Bremen – in which he conjured and seemed indispensable. But there were also enough games in the first half in which Coutinho dived and was criticized by Hansi Flick for his poor defensive behavior. In the spring, it was said, he was supposed to show what he was capable of. Specifically means: For Coutinho, everything is about now. At least in 20, ideally in 27 games on the way to a possible triple.

That Flick him in the coming weeks due to the failures of Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman the 27-year-old will definitely need. In the training camp in Doha, he was used flexibly, sometimes as figure eight or figure ten, but often as left-winger. For Coutinho, who was signed late in the summer, the week in Qatar was important. He had good moments (dream goals) and bad ones (increasing runs that leached him out). After the first complete preparation with Bayern, excuses like in autumn – not yet fully integrated, not quite fit – no longer apply.
Philippe Coutinho: Open-minded guy with no star dress
At the team evening, he did his late debut serenade, the performance of the summer hit “Ai Se Eu Te Pego!” Was well received. Coutinho is open, he hardly has any star attitudes, and he also feels increasingly comfortable on the pitch. Flick admitted that “he had not yet been sufficiently integrated with the others”, but assured him: “The preparation was very good for him.”
Now he expects “a jump” from Coutinho and hopes that he “shows against Hertha what class he has”. This will be even more important if it goes against Chelsea in the Champions League and possibly against other calibers afterwards. It is up to Coutinho how Bayern invest their money. At the moment it is only the C-100 million solution. But that can change.
In this article, we show you an overview of the transfer rumors surrounding FC Bayern. The friend of Alphonso Davies, who not only looks good, but can also handle the ball, was apparently also in conversation with the Munich team.
