Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho admits he was “really shy” when he joined Inter.

The 24-year-old joined the Nerazzurri from Vasco da Gama for €4m, but failed to make an impact and was sold on for €13m.

“It was definitely difficult,” Coutinho told Sky Sports UK.

“I was really shy when I was back in Brazil so coming to Europe was very tough. I was arriving as a kid fresh from Brazil into a big team like Inter with a lot of star names.  But I feel so much better now.”
