Philipe Coutinho u17 Brazilian

[Noelys Guitar]

Just watched this guy playing for the U17 Brazilian team against the u17 US team. What a prospect. This guy has everything. Best young player I have seen since Messi.

He played against the US team like a young Maradona. Running at and beating 3 or 4 defenders at a time. Ball glued to either foot. His attitude to getting whacked by the US defenders was to get straight back up. Great to see.

I came across this while looking for the Brazilian football thread. Not quite Messi but considering the amount of hot prospects that fall by the wayside this was a pretty good shout by Noelys Guitar!
