Neymar Claims Brazil Teammate Philippe Coutinho Has 'Great Sadness' After Barcelona Move Fails

Source: 90min.com
Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho is suffering from a 'great sadness' after a potential move from Anfield to Barcelona was nipped in the bud. At least, according to close friend and international colleague Neymar.

The Catalan giants could still sign the Brazilian on Friday as the Spanish transfer window remains open for an extra 24 hours, but with Liverpool not signing a replacement - most likely Thomas Lemar - the chance of it happening is slim at best.
It seems Coutinho is fully aware of that, and Neymar broached the subject on Thursday after Brazil's World Cup qualifying win over Ecuador, a game in which the Liverpool man scored.
"I'm very happy because he has scored a goal," Neymar is quoted as saying by Mundo Deportivo.
"At this moment he lives with a very great sadness, but he helped us in the victory."
Coutinho started the game in Porto Alegre on the bench along with Liverpool team-mate Roberto Firmino, but entered the fray later on and added a crucial second goal for Brazil in the 76th minute after Barcelona's Paulinho had broken the deadlock only moments earlier.

Godin: I dream of lifting the cup

Source: FIFA.com Diego Godin has revealed he cannot stop thinking about the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™ and expressed his desire to become the first Uruguayan in 68 years to lift the Trophy. Jules Rimet handed it to Obdulio Varela – albeit in bizarre circumstances – at the Maracana in 1950, and though  La Celeste reached the semi-finals on three occasions thereafter, they have never gone further, losing to Hungary in 1954, Brazil in 1970, and the Netherlands in 2010. Eight teams have shorter odds of winning Russia 2018 than Uruguay, but that does not stop the Atletico Madrid centre-back from dreaming big. “There isn’t a day goes by that I stop thinking about the World Cup,” Godin told  Radio Rincón . “I dream of lifting the Trophy – of course, I do. “We qualified for the World Cup well. The important thing is that no-one gets injured, that everyone is right physically.”Godin believes the secret to Uruguay’s prosperity under Oscar Tabarez – t...
