Phillipe Coutinho walked in the footsteps of fellow Brazilian teammate Willian as he recently got baptised, but not in an unusual way.
While many Christians opt to conduct the religious ceremony in divine settings, the On-loan winger had his baptism take place in his bathtub.
The former Liverpool man went on social media to thank Brunet and his wife as he expressed excitement at his admission to the church.
“Thank you very much Pastor Brunet and Jeanine Brunet… It was two more than special days that were marked in our lives. Let’s live a new era,”
Willian visited the popular River Jordan in Israel in June 2019 and he made the most of the occasion by immersing himself in the river for divine purposes.
The Chelsea attacker backed Coutinho’s baptism when he commented using two praying hands emoji on his post.
Reports in Brazil even suggest a housekeeper of the former Liverpool star’s joined in the event.
Pastor Brunet wrote online: “These days here in Germany were amazing. Welcome to our new brothers and friends!”
