BARCELONA STRUGGLE AGAINST HERCULES WITHOUT MSN, KEY PLAYERS




Ahead of El-Clasico, Barcelona boss Enrique rested his known stars to ensure they stayed fit for the Clasico game against Real Madrid on Saturday.  But this came at a cost...

because contrary to Luis Enrique's talk yesterday about how he plans to win the Copa Del Rey, Barcelona had it tough against Hercules yesterday. Key player like Messi, Neymar, Suarez, Pique, Mascherano did not play. The only notable players included Arda Turan and Rafinha and it was obvious that Barca was struggling to find the cutting edge strikes that will ensure their victory at the end of the game.

At the end, despite many chances and a tough Hercules side, Barcelona drew while Real Madrid won 6-1

Hull City Manager chides Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen following Spurs' 2-1 win

Following Spurs' 2-1 win over Hull City, City manager Steve Bruce lashed out at Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen for exaggerating to get Hull City's Ramirez Gaston red-carded. Bruce castigated such act as unhealthy for the Premier League. The Uruguayan midfielder Ramirez got the red card for kicking at Belgian Jan Vertonghen. Bruce argued his man only showed "petulance" when he was provoked by Jan. And such behaviour could not be regarded as "violent". The City went down when Tottenham's Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen found the net in the game's second half. Speaking with his news conference, Bruce said, "Ramirez has shown petulance. Vertonghen has had a little go at him, and Ramirez has flicked out. The law says it is a violent conduct. For me, it is an act of petulance -- it is not violent conduct." Via espn

Headmaster Pep Guardiola injects new rules into City camp; bans mobile phones

It's safe to say Pep is a perfectionist and also a headmaster, lol. But seriously, Pep has no intentions to drop his standards after a record-breaking 2017/18 season. He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
