LONDON (Reuters) - Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho is the hottest Brazilian talent after Neymar, according to his compatriot Juninho. "I am delighted that he takes my record," Juninho told the Daily Mail. "Coutinho can be considered, after Neymar, the best player in Brazil. Juninho, who had two spells with Middlesbrough between 1995-1997 and 2002-2004, believes the key to Coutinho's game lies in his ability to find space. "The intensity is there but if you get past the first wave of pressure then the pitch opens up."
