Memphis doesn’t want to be just Koeman’s signing

BarcelonaMemphis Depay was one of the footballers who had a more meaningful farewell to Ronald Koeman, the coach who always bet on taking him to Barça. The Dutchman is a good footballer, but although he made a difference at Olympique de Lyon, to play for a team like Barça Memphis cannot have a star attitude, but must work for the team ( and more, in the current context you have the computer). And then exploit its quality. Because he has it. He showed it at the beginning of the season and proved it again yesterday, with a great goal and participating much more in the offensive production, served a good assist in the first half after a gesture of quality and hitting the post when he was looking for the second.

Barça is not going through a moment of offensive joy, but yesterday the Dutchman tried to take a step forward, as if wanting to vindicate himself and remembering that he is the one who has done merits to be at Barça, beyond his arrival being justified at Koeman’s insistence. Memphis was reprimanded for not chasing Alaba in the classic after losing the ball and for the Austrian to travel halfway alone and score. A mistake that weighed on the Dutchman, physically punished by a demanding start to the course, but aware that he can not give up the defensive commitment.

The Kun, with an episode of chest discomfort

Against Alabès, Memphis helped more on defense and scored a goal. It wasn’t enough, but the Barça ‘9’ is struggling to find its own path without its main defender. On Tuesday, Memphis will be the main argument at the front against Dinamo awaiting the return of Ansu Fati and how Kun will evolve. The Argentine had to be replaced after suffering an “episode of chest discomfort” – some reports spoke of a mild tachycardia – and was taken to hospital by protocol in these cases and to undergo a cardiological study.
