Coutinho has the first mess at Barça (and is very ugly)

In check . The arrival of Phillippe Coutinho to FC Barcelona has put several players against the ropes. The FC Barcelona has not paid 160 million euros to leave on the bench and several players are threatened with arrival in both midfield and attack.

If Denis Suárez , Gerard Deulofeu or Paco Alcácer , among others, want minutes they should follow Rafinha's steps towards another team, just as the Brazilian will play on loan at Inter Milan . And they are not the only ones.

Coutinho throws Dembélé from the circle of Suárez and Messi

The tension of Coutinho with Ousmane Dembélé is noticeable both outside the turf and in training.

The situation of the French is very worrying and more than one leader reminds him of Gareth Bale at Real Madrid : injured and isolated.

At the price of his transfer ( 105 million euros more variable ) and the two injuries that have not allowed him to prove anything at the moment, the addition of a player who leaves his presence in the starting lineup is added.

In fact, they point out in the offices of the Catalans that a great part of the responsibility for the injuries is due to the pressure that the footballer is suffering with the whole panorama that has been found without eating or drinking it and that he never imagined before forming for the Barça the last summer.

Coutinho, the new protégé

In addition, point from the surroundings of the locker room that Coutinho makes a lot of life with Luis Suarez, who knows about his time at Liverpool, and with Leo Messi, the third South American . In other words, Luis and Leo have found in Phillippe the perfect substitute for Neymar JR , both on the field and outside, leaving aside the one who came to fulfill that role: Dembélé .

In this sense, the two cracks want Coutinho as the third striker of the team and they have promised the carioca that this will be the case. The Brazilian has become his protege. And all this without taking into account an almost separated Dembélé who with whom more have seen relate in the dressing room culé are Samuel Umtiti and Lucas Digne , the French of the template. An ugly unforgivable to the Gaul.
