Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho admits he draws inspiration from Barcelona striker Luis Suarez.

Coutinho sets high standards for himself and admits he is eager to keep on improving and become world-class, like friend and Kop hero Suarez.

He told the Liverpool Echo: "I am not saying I need to be like Luis because each player has their own way of playing, but I always try to improve.

"Luis - what he did for Barcelona against PSG this week was amazing - and it is incredible what he can do as a footballer. I want to get better.

"I like the responsibility and I love the way the Liverpool fans treat me, the way the staff look after me.

"But on the pitch I try not to think too much about things like that, just to perform as best as I can in order for the rewards to be shared amongst us.

"When you see the manager trusts you and gives you a lot of confidence it makes you play even better. It makes your football flow better than usual. Trust and confidence from above is always good for a player."
