As El Clásico Looms, Philippe Coutinho Is Busy Abusing Teammates In Training

Wednesday, FC Barcelona posted a video to its official YouTube channel entitled “INSIDE TRAINING | Coutinho prepares for his first El Clásico.” It’s a little strange because perhaps the Brazilian would be better served preparing for Saturday’s match against league leader Sevilla at the Camp Nou or next Wednesday’s heavyweight Champions League tilt with Inter Milan (the clubs are even at the top of Group B with six points), but there’s just no denying that it doesn’t get any bigger or better than El Clásico.

Football is about winning as well as entertaining. In the end, people pay a ticket to cheer for their teams as much as they want to have a good time. Nutmegs serve this purpose. Even after a boring 0-0 tie, a good nutmeg can save the day and make fans leave the stadium with a smile. 

In the following examples, I would say that smile lasted over a week. Time to see some magic!

More Than A Barça Comeback, Saturday's Match Was A Real Sociedad Defeat

If historians had not located the ancient Sparta territory, I would have guessed it was in the Basque country, precisely in the lovely city of San Sebastian, and that King Leonidas is buried under the turf of Anoeta, Real Sociedad’s stadium, as the almighty Barcelon continues to struggle in the land of Euskera, despite playing against a weaker side (at least in theory).

Brazil Players Collectively Lose It After Coutinho’s Nutmeg On Filipe Luis

Coutinho And De Bruyne Unveil Nike PhantomVSN Boot, An Attacker’s Dream

It’s here: the long-awaited, game-changing PhantomVSN (Phantom Vision) cleat from Nike. This is the cleat that the likes of Philippe Coutinho, Kevin De Bruyne and Mallory Pugh — attackers “at ease in a position-less environment” — will be using to navigate tight spaces and open up games. These boots are designed with the next generation of playmakers in mind, and it’s quickly apparent that the wears associated with attacking football will never be the same.

Neymar Turns To Recruiting Stars With No Club Willing To Meet His Expensive Price Tag

Neymar transfer rumors have circulated almost since he stepped foot on the training ground at Paris Saint-Germain. Such is the nature of European soccer, with its escalating transfer fees and dueling ownership groups. Although for a time it appeared that Real Madrid would replace Ronaldo with Neymar, it now looks increasingly likely that Neymar will stay at PSG for at least another season.
