Brazil's Philippe Coutinho hopes to grasp Copa America "opportunity"

Philippe Coutinho insists that his priority is for Brazil to succeed in the Copa America regardless of whether he plays or not.

Philippe Coutinho has insisted that his main focus is for Brazil to succeed at the Copa America regardless of the amount of game time that he receives.

The Liverpool star has so far failed to cement a regular spot in Dunga's first team, but he boosted his chances by scoring in his nation's 2-0 win over Mexico on Sunday.

"It is a great opportunity not only for me, but for the whole group," Goal.com quotes Coutinho as saying. "The Copa America is a great competition.

"We are focused, no matter who plays. Our only concern is to get there in good form and win the tournament. Everyone is fighting for a place, which is very important. We are always seeking the best."

Meanwhile, Chile's Alexis Sanchez has played down reports of a bust-up with teammate Marcelo Diaz.
