In the corona crisis, professionals help where they can - not just by foregoing part of the salary. Philippe Coutinho thinks particularly of the poorest in his homeland.

  • In the game of Bayern , Philippe Coutinho seems strange.
  • In the Corona crisis , the loan from FC Barcelona shows a big heart.
  • The Brazilian’s relief effort is linked to a message.

Munich - Philippe Coutinho (27) has not really been able to set an example on the pitch during his time at FC Bayern * - he does so during the corona crisis * away from the green grass. The Brazilian has launched a massive relief operation in his hometown of Rio de Janeiro from distant Munich. According to the internet portal Globoesporte, the noble technician donated around 20 tons of food and hygiene articles , which are distributed in poor areas around the Vasco da Gama stadium, where he started his career.

Bayern: Coutinho sends 1000 aid packages to his home

On the more than 1000 plastic bags filled with rice and beans, sugar, oil and coffee , but also detergent and dishwashing liquid, there is a message from the Selecao player borrowed from FC Barcelona. "The world is going through a difficult moment, and each of us has to make our contribution, " writes the Brazilian, urgently asking: "Let us stay at home."

And Coutinho, who was born not far from the Arena San Januario, continues to promise: "This is only the beginning of a large welfare campaign ."

FC Bayern: Corona crisis also affects Coutinho from a sporting perspective

So while he's helping Rio's citizens curb their fears of the virus pandemic, Coutinho himself is troubled by sports concerns . Because: The Corona crisis also hits his current employer FC Bayern hard, it affects almost everything and everyone at the record champions .

And yet Coutinho is a particularly difficult case among those affected. Because every day that cannot be played is a lost day for the 27-year-old. The contract, which he signed in Munich, is dated as a loan until June 30 , after which Bayern could draw a purchase option of around 120 million euros . So far, Coutinho has not convinced the bosses, and currently he cannot convince them. As of today, the fact that the sum will be paid in the summer is excluded.

FC Bayern: Only a few brilliant acts by Coutinho

During the winter break, coach Hansi Flick * had already said that Coutinho was not yet well integrated. This feeling could not be completely removed until the competitions stopped corona. Clearly there were the games in which the offensive player shone. Among other things, at 6-0 in Hoffenheim , he contributed two goals - but due to the later non-aggression pact only a few remembered.

In general, it always looks as if Coutinho in Munich is haunted by bad luck . Preliminary negative climax: The corona crisis slowed him down where he had just conquered something like a regular place. Because Robert Lewandowski * was missing injured, Coutinho sensed his chance to finally show what he could do. Now he's in the home office.

Bayern: Coutinho transfer probably better invested at Sane or Havertz

One can assume that even outstanding games would no longer have changed the club bosses in Munich. Because the total package - before the crisis it was about 120 million transfer and a net salary of around 13 million euros - is far too expensive. If you dig that deep, it would be more for Leroy Sane or Kai Havertz , there was agreement on the board level.

Coutinho therefore wanted to use the hot season to make himself interesting for other clubs . Because even at FC Barcelona, ​​where he is actually bound until 2023, you no longer plan with him. No European football club can currently afford an overpriced superstar .

The otherwise financially strong clubs from England are battered.

Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City are said to be interested. So far, however, there have been no concrete negotiations with these clubs.
