REVEALED: What Neymar told Coutinho about Barca


New Barcelona signing Philippe Coutinho has revealed the information he got from his Brazil national teammate, Neymar before he made his well-celebrated move from Liverpool to join the Catalan giants.

Neymar left Barcelona in controversial circumstances to join PSG and while many will believe the flamboyant playmaker will have only bad things to say about his former employers, the reverse is the case as revealed by Coutinho.

While speaking to reporters at the Nou Camp during his unveiling on Monday, Coutinho revealed Neymar only had good things to say about Barcelona when they spoke to each other and said he also received advice from ex-Liverpool team-mate Luis Suarez.

He said: ”I spoke to Neymar and he has nothing but good things to say about the team, the city and
the dressing room. 

“I also spoke to Luis Suarez and also Paulinho, and they also had good things to say.

Coutinho also claimed that his international teammate has been one of the first to congratulate him on his move.

“Neymar congratulated me and told me there is an incredible team here," he said at a press conference following his unveiling.

Coutinho was also put on the spot if he hoped his presence at the club would now lead to fans forgetting about Neymar, but he dismissed such a notion.

“I play with Neymar for Brazil and we’ve been friends for years," he continued.

“We’re different players. He is obviously a great player but we have different qualities.”.

Is Coffee Raising Your Cholesterol Level?

RESEARCHERS at the Wageningen Agricultural University, in the Netherlands, say that drinking unfiltered coffee will raise your cholesterol level. The crucial word is “unfiltered.” Why? Research Reports, a newsletter from the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research, says that coffee beans contain a cholesterol-raising substance called cafestol. When hot water is poured directly on the ground coffee, the cafestol is extracted. The same is true when finely ground coffee is boiled in water several times, as it is in Turkish coffee, or when a metal filter is used instead of a paper filter, such as in a French press. Without a paper filter, the cafestol ends up in the brew. One unfiltered cup of coffee, which may contain up to four milligrams of cafestol, can cause the cholesterol level to rise by about 1 percent. Espresso also contains cafestol, since it is made without a paper filter. However, its cholesterol-raising effect is less if you use a demitasse. Less espresso, less c...
