Sometimes, the pendulum of Life swings towards or according to our expectations, some other times, we are taken aback by how our efforts have failed in some of our endeavours. Life is full of ups and downs, and it seem that's just how the existence of mortals have been structured from time immemorial. No matter how highly placed a Man is, there are always those tasking moments that threatened and created doubts in his abilities and how far he can go in his dreams. It may come at the beginning of his journey or towards the tail end, whichever time, it's just a road all men have been designed to taste(this is debatable though, this is my view and it's subjective). For Philippe Coutinho, he faces a world that poses a huge threat to his football career, trying to sink him and make him succumb to the invisible pains of Life whip. For a young man who was a the peak of football while playing for Liverpool few years ago, his current situation in Club football and his current market value calls for questions.
After forcing his way to the Camp Nou against the pleas of Liverpool fans to further his football career and perhaps contend for top prizes, the Brazilian winger have watched his career become a tale of pity, as he has been at the nadir of his game since leaving Anfield. Watching a once legendary figure at Anfield being considered as a surplus player in Barcelona made me sympathize with Brazilian. The fans disappointment as regards his impact since arrival in Barcelona increased pressure on the former deadly winger from Liverpool. Benched in couple of games and in others merely coming in towards the tail end of the matches, I saw a Coutinho that have to overcome Life which have declared war on his career. Should he give up, it will forever go down that Coutinho's career was a failure, to avoid this, the embattled Brazilian have decided to fight back and prove his mettle. Life have hit him hard and he has only one option "fight on!" The Brazilian moved to German side Bayern Munich to see if the Allianz Arena will favour him, having failed to live up to expectations at the Camp Nou. He is currently gaining back his lethal self and is settling into his new team. With four goals and five assists already for Bayern after 19 games, Coutinho appears to be finding his form and is about to become the next big thing for the German champions.
