West Ham United ace Lucas Paqueta has sent a three-word message to on-loan Aston Villa man Philippe Coutinho.
It comes after the latter scored his first goal for temporary club Al-Duhail in their Qatar Stars League win over Al-Markhiya.
The Brazilian scored the winning goal of the match on Thursday (28 September), with his club moving up to third place in the table.
Taking to social media after the win, Coutinho wrote on Instagram: “Very happy for the win and the first goal with this shirt. Proud of our team’s fight.
“Now, let’s recover and focus on the next game. Thanks to the fans and everyone at the club for the warm welcome.”
Among those sending messages of congratulations was his compatriot Paqueta, who wrote: “Joga muito Couto,” which translates roughly from Portuguese to English as “play very well.”
Both Paqueta and Coutinho are unquestionably very good athletes who have recently shown their abilities for the Brazilian national team.
However, they are in different stages of their professional lives. The former is very much in the spotlight thanks to West Ham’s outstanding start to the new Premier League season.
He has been crucial to David Moyes’ team’s successful start in the English top division, which Coutinho decided to quit earlier this month.
He was a star in the competition when he played for Liverpool in the past, so it was exciting to see him with Aston Villa.
However, things haven’t quite gone as planned for the attacker at Villa Park, and even if he’s only gone temporarily, his time in England may have already come to an end.
However, it is apparent that his countrymen are still intrigued by his accomplishments abroad because Newcastle United star Bruno Guimaraes also left a remark on the post.
A Premier League journalist has criticized Moyes and suggested a “worrying pattern” for the club in unrelated West Ham news.
