Playing, Mancini says he hopes to be Coutinho Vasco in 2015

In four games in the Campeonato Carioca, Philippe Coutinho won the confidence of the coach Vagner Mancini and starting place at time of Vasco. Compared to last Thursday against the Macaé, San Gennaro, the commander vascaíno could not count on Dodo, suspended, and Carlos Alberto, hurt. And the boy, only 17 years old, who made a difference in the rout by 4 to 0.

Fleeing from his routine of not commenting on the actions of his men individually, Mancini praised the stance of the boy. For the coach, Cunningham has been critical to the successful team in the first rounds of the Carioca.

- It is different from the athletes we have on the market. The facility has Coutinho operate in midfield, in attack, on the sidelines and you know get a table in front of the area. Having all this, he becomes the guy that makes the difference in the game - said coach.

Mancini was responsible for giving the first opportunities to the attacker Neymar in Santos. According to the commander of the Hill Giant, Coutinho is facing a situation similar to the boy's fish. For the coach, the player has won vascaíno maturity over the games.

- We arrived at Santos and Neymar had the chance to play. The case is similar to Cunningham and he is having the maturity on the pitch. The team is winning and that creates more confidence in him. Today, he is better than the game last Sunday and will be even better the next match - the coach said.

When asked if he would make a request to President Robert Dynamite to deal with the permanence of the player until the end of 2010, Mancini grinned and joked

- Everyone is seeing what he is doing and of course we wanted him to stay. He is a different player in the market. What we seek is a game system with an athlete to give you the difference and Philippe does. This feeling, I expect him to remain until 2015 in Vasco.
