Former Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho was mocked by League One side Stevenage FC after joining Qatari club Al-Duhail on loan from Aston Villa.<\/p>\n
Coutinho was a star player for Liverpool between 2013 and 2018, registering 54 goals and 45 assists across 201 games for the Reds.<\/p>\n
He then left Anfield to join Barcelona in a huge deal worth a total of \u00a3142m but injury problems and poor form saw his opportunities increasingly limited as he was sent out on loan to Bayern Munich and then Aston Villa.<\/p>\n
Villa made it a permanent deal for Coutinho last year but it has not worked out for the Brazilian at the Premier League club and he will now join Al-Duhail in Qatar until the end of the season on loan.<\/p>\n
Stevenage could not resist aiming a dig at Coutinho over the move after the League One club knocked Villa out of the FA Cup last season with a 2-1 victory.<\/p>\n
\u2018They found him, finally,\u2019 Stevenage posted on Twitter with a picture of Coutinho playing against them in the FA Cup, poking fun at his poor performance.<\/p>\n
Stevenage have made a strong start to the season in the third tier of English football, winning four of their six league games, and they are third in the table.<\/p>\n
Coutinho, meanwhile, is hoping for a fresh start after falling down the Villa pecking order under Unai Emery.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old, who signed for the club under previous manager Steven Gerrard, has made just two substitute appearances for Villa this term.<\/p>\n
Coutinho has been capped 68 times by Brazil but has not featured for his international team since June 2022 and missed the World Cup in Qatar.<\/p>\n
