The 25-year-old praised Ernesto Valverde, saying the Barcelona coach was continually seeking to make his team better. "Valverde welcomed me in, and he is always seeking to improve the team's game," Coutinho said."He talks a lot with players in training and corrects positioning, which is important." Barcelona face Valencia in the second leg of a Copa del Rey sem-final on Thursday. The Catalans are nine points clear of second-placed Atletico Madrid heading into the business end of the season, and have draw Chelsea in the round of 16 in the Champions League.</blockquote>
