Brazil legend Ronaldinho says Philippe Coutinho will still "give everything" for Liverpool because of the upcoming World Cup.
Coutinho attempted to force a move to Barcelona in the summer transfer window, only for Liverpool to refuse to sell the 25-year-old.
The Brazil international has not played for the Merseyside club so far this season, but Ronaldinho is confident his compatriot will not go on strike ahead of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
"This season they [Liverpool] will see him give everything for the club -- that is the sort of player he is," Ronaldinho is quoted as saying by the Daily Mirror.
