Philippe Coutinho has admitted that he has fallen short of expectations at Barcelona after enduring a hugely frustrating 2018-19 season.

The 26-year-old became Barcelona’s all-time record signing when joining from Liverpool in a deal worth up £142m in January 2018 and was tipped to replace Neymar in Ernesto Valverde’s side.

Following a promising opening six months in Spain, though, Coutinho’s form plummetted and he has been subjected to intense criticism from the club’s notoriously vociferous supporters.

Coutinho, who was regularly booed by his own fans, managed just five goals and two assists in 34 La Liga matches last season and he admitted that his form was not good enough.

Speaking ahead of Brazil’s Copa America opener against Bolivia on Saturday, Coutinho told Marca: ‘I have not had a good season.

‘My performances have been a lot worse than I expected they would. The only way to improve and gain confidence is through hard work, and I have been working hard.’

After Coutinho failed to make an impact during Barcelona’s shock Champions League semi-final reports emerged that the club are keen to sell him to balance their financial accounts.

According to ESPN, Barcelona are hoping that Coutinho impresses at the Copa America so that they can sell him at a reduced fee of €100m.

Both Chelsea and Manchester United have been linked with bringing him back to the Premier League, while PSG are also believed to be monitoring developments.

BRASIL 2019
Josepmir Ballón fue convocado de emergencia a la selección peruana para Copa América
El volante de Universidad de Concepción reemplazó al lesionado Paolo Hurtado.

El técnico de la selección peruana, Ricardo Gareca, decidió nominar al volante de Universidad de Concepción Josepmir Ballón para que dispute la Copa América de Brasil 2019 debido a la lesión de Paolo Hurtado.

Por una fractura del quinto metatarsiano de su pie izquierdo sufrida en la derrota por 3-0 sufrida por Perú ante Colombia, Hurado se quedó fuera del torneo que tendrá a Perú en el Grupo A junto a Brasil, Bolivia y Venezuela.

Así, Gareca se vio en la obligación de buscar un reemplazante y elegido fue Josepmir Ballón, volante de basta experiencia y que a principios de año llegó a Universidad de Concepción.

De esta forma, el fútbol chileno tendrá un representante más en la cita que se disputará en Brasil y que tendrá el debut de Perú ante Venezuela el próximo sábado 15 de junio.
