Corinthians fans go wild at Memphis Depay during Supercopa final: ‘Best salary in Brazil!’
Depay had first shown his good side by assisting Gabriel Paulista in his team’s 0-1 draw, but later the Dutch international and top scorer took on the negative leading role. The attacker had a great opportunity to put Corinthians at 0-2 in the Supercopa final, but failed to do so.
This led to anger among the Corinthians supporters X. People were mainly talking about what Memphis is costing the Brazilian club. The striker reportedly receives a net annual salary of 6 million euros in Brazil. “Theft, that he receives the best salary in Brazilian football. Then you should not miss such opportunities,” it said.
Memphis isn’t the only center of drama
By the way, Memphis Depay’s chance was certainly not the main menu in the final battle. During the first half, Jorge Carrascal of Flamengo let go of Breno Bidon, the great talent of Corinthians. Initially nothing was done, but after an extensive fifteen minutes of rest, the referee (Rafael Rodrigo Klein, ed.) was called to the VAR screen after the tea break. The verdict was still a red card.
Almost made a wrong right
A little later it was all about the Dutch striker again. This time he seemed to make it 0-2, were it not that attacking partner Yuri Alberto was whistled back for offside.
