Liverpool attacker Fabio Carvalho is happy over comparisons with Philippe Coutinho.
Carvalho has spent this season on-loan at Hull City.
He told the Liverpool Echo of his heroes: “Coutinho was one of them.
“It's hard not to say Ronaldo and Messi, so them two as well.
“Ronaldinho was probably the first player who I sat and watched. I didn't get to watch much of him because I was young, but when I first watched him, I think it was one of my first few football games. I remember watching him and I was like, 'Wow!'"
“No actually, I'm not aware of what (Liverpool supporters) are saying. Regardless of what I do, people are going to speak. If I'm doing well, they're gonna speak. It's tempting to go on the internet and see what people are saying about you, whether it's good or bad.
“It's more tempting if it's good but you're always going to see people say bad things about you as well, so I just try to stay away from both because then I'm not tempted to do either."
“That's a very big compliment," he said of current Coutinho comparisons. “I still watch videos of Coutinho to this day.
“Just watching him, it's kind of my style of football. It's obviously not the exact same because everyone is different, but I try to learn from the best and he's certainly been one of the best in the past few years for Liverpool so it's a great compliment."
