Coutinho: My tattoo sums up LFC's mantra

As Liverpool have grown stronger and stronger over the course of this current campaign, Philippe Coutinho has been gradually adding to a special tattoo on his left forearm.

Translated into English from the Brazilian's native tongue, it proudly proclaims: "Never stop dreaming."

Coutinho equates its message to life in Liverpool at the moment, where the Reds sit top of the Barclays Premier League with just three games left to play.

"It is a sentence I like and a view I take for life. But it fits with Liverpool and the current situation we are in - so that makes it even better.

"I started having the tattoo done at the beginning of the season and it was finished bit by bit. As players, we need to keep dreaming if we want to reach the objectives we have in mind. 

"The players know how important these remaining games are, and we will fight and do our best on the pitch to make winning the league happen.

"It is a very special moment, with Liverpool going for the title and my country staging the World Cup. Don't forget the saying 'Brazilians never lose hope' - I still hope to play for Brazil at the World Cup. This could be a very special two months."

Coutinho has continued to be a revelation for Brendan Rodgers' side this season, leaving audiences marvelling at his fleet-footed combinations and dazzling skills.

The youngster has chipped in with five goals for his side, too - and none more vital than the one against Manchester City on April 13, when Coutinho settled the tie at 3-2 with a swoosh of his right boot.
