　バルセロナへ移籍したブラジル代表MFフィリペ・コウチーニョが、“古巣”であるリヴァプールへの感謝を語っている。イギリスメディア『BBC』が伝えた。

　6日に歴代2位となる移籍金1億6000万ユーロ（約218億円）でバルセロナへ移籍したコウチーニョは、2013年から約5年間過ごしたリヴァプールへ「感謝しても仕切れない」と惜別の言葉を送った。

「リヴァプールは僕の心の中にずっと大切に残っている」

「サポーターには新しい旅立ちを理解してほしい。バルセロナへの移籍は僕の夢だったんだ。それでも、リヴァプールというクラブの存在が消え失せてしまうことは絶対にないよ」

　また、自身の『インスタグラム』でもコメントを残した。「リヴァプールへ来た時から、僕と家族はとても好印象を受けたし、たくさんの友達を作ることができた。ピッチの外でも中でも美しい経験を味わえたんだ。サポーターには幸せな瞬間を提供することができたと思う」

Since the moment I arrived in Liverpool , me and my family have been made to feel so welcome and have made so many friends. On the pitch and off the pitch, we have experienced the beauty of this club and its fans. In turn, I hope I have delivered memories and moments that have brought happiness to the Liverpool supporters. Moving to Liverpool, I knew the club’s greatness and history but what I did learn during my time was the unique heart and soul of the place. It has its own personality and character. I leave Liverpool because Barcelona is a dream for me. Liverpool was a dream that I was fortunate enough to realise and I have given five years of my life to it. A career on the pitch only lasts for so long and to play for Barcelona as well as Liverpool is something I want to experience and enjoy while I am blessed enough to be able to do so. I hope the supporters understand that choosing to experience something new is not about diminishing their importance to me or the club’s importance. Nothing will ever diminish that in my heart. I wish Jürgen and the team nothing but joy and success for the rest of this season and beyond. This is an amazing team and they are getting better and better all the time. There are too many people I want to thank, but I cannot name everyone individually. To all the amazing club staff who have been part of my life in Liverpool – I will miss you. To the owners, whom have tried so hard to bring success, and to the football recruitment staff for showing faith in me to bring me here and rewarding me during that journey, and to my incredible teammates, past and present, who have helped me grow and improve as a player and a person, I would like to say thank you to you all. Anything I have achieved here would not have been possible without you. And finally, to the most important people of Liverpool – the Liverpool supporters. I can never thank you enough for what you have given me during this time and no matter where I go in the world, for the rest of my life, I will always cherish Liverpool in my heart. You, the club and the city will always be a part of me. You’ll Never Walk Alone. Philippe.
