They remember the 6-1 of the Barça to the PSG in the Camp Nou? Claro that they remember it... How forget it? The Barcelona finish to make history when attaining the greater traced back in the history of the eliminatory direct of UEFA Champions League, promised them to him very happy and even began to speak of the team culé during the back days like the big favourite to raise the title.
It did not go like this, the blaugrana fell deleted in the following round and finally was the Real Madrid the champion... By second consecutive edition. This involved a priori radical changes this summer to go back to compete of you to you with the whites and consolidate again the Barcelona hegemony in Europe. These changes, however, are not arriving and for the moment is by the "vendetta" special of the PSG.
The Parisians have achieved no only keep in the team to Marco Verratti, big longing culé from does years, but besides as it aims the French and British press each day are more near to attain the signing of Philippe Coutinho, the one who theoretically was the big alternative of the FC Barcelona if it could not fichar to Verratti.
Of course, each club bases in his own aims and no in shattering the ones of the other, but does not leave to be curious that the PSG, the club that remained in ridiculous in the Camp Nou, was precisely the one who now is desbaratando the big signings culés this summer.
The signing of Coutinho, big strategy of the PSG
"Coutinho, better that a plan B", has titled "L'Équipe" in his cover, whereas in inner pages says besides that the traspaso would not be inferior to the 90 million euros, by what the PSG yes would be had to make the big investment that does not want to do the Barça.
The strategy of the signing of Coutinho would serve also to finish to convince to Verratti that the PSG is willing, cost what cost, to fraguar a team of first level that can compete the next season for conquering the Champions League.
The FC Barcelona will need to begin to move already and not to sleep in the laurels. If it wants to Coutinho, will have to pugnar directly with the PSG by him and bid strong. And, if it is not like this, it will be necessary to look for to an alternative of equal or more level that the Brazilian. Without half inks.
