VIDEO: Philippe Coutinho Recreates Dennis Bergkamp's Memorable Flick Goal in Style

Published on: 17 November 2016

Right now it seems Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho can do just about anything.


The attacking midfielder has developed into arguably the Reds' most important player, scoring five goals and creating five assists in his 11 Premier League appearances so far thisseason.

The 24-year-old has also become a key component of Brazil's squad, with many tipping him to develop into one of the world's finest players.


So when BT Sport asked Coutinho to attempt to recreateDennis Bergkamp's iconic goal for Arsenalagainst Newcastle from 2002, it was no surprise to him knock the fancy skill element of the challenge out of the park, even if his finishing still left a little to be desired.

Nailing the flick each time, Coutinho struggled with the finish until his last attempt, calmly slotting past the keeper following a pass from Liverpool teammate Divock Origi, rolling James Milner in the process.


While it's great to see the goal recreated in training, the buzz currently surrounding Coutinho and Liverpool would surely soar to new heights should he do the unthinkable and recreate the goal for real in their next Premier League game against Southampton on Saturday.
