Liverpool attacking midfielder Philippe Coutinho has highlighted the influence of manager Jurgen Klopp in the team's style of play, stressing teamwork rather than individuals.

The Brazilian has been an important influence for the team this term, scoring an overall six goals in 23 matches and has set up seven more for his team-mates.




The winner of the 2016 Samba Gold Award though feels that at Anfield it is not about individuals but the team as a whole, and the achievements of the club as a whole.

Crediting his manager for the changes the team have witnessed over the last year-and-a-half, the 24-year-old said that the German demands a lot from the team and in spite of having many top-class players the focus is never on any one player.
 


According to Coutinho, no one has to take any final decision regarding defending or attacking, with the entire task being shared by the team.
