Philippe Coutinho: Liverpool midfielder on 'down to earth' Neymar

Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho tells Football Focus that everyone "admires" his friend and Brazil team-mate Neymar.

The pair have known each other since they played together in the under-14s, and still keep in touch.

Coutinho describes Neymar as still being "down to earth" despite his big money move from Santos to Spanish giants Barcelona in 2013 for a fee of almost £49m.
