Memphis Depay is just a big Barcelona fan. That’s his first and foremost role, and only after that he is the club’s best striker. And if you are a journalist, you better be careful how do you approach Depay when asking questions about his current club. The Dutchman has joined his teammates from the national team ahead of Latvia game, which is played as a part of World Cup qualifications. ‘Koeman will stay as coach, he is Barca’s legend’Off course, Netherlands are big favorites for this match, so it was obvious that the journalists would be far more interested to hear about Barcelona from Depay, but the forward was a bit annoyed when asked does he regret coming to the club in this particular time. “How dare you asking that? It’s Barcelona. I don’t think you understand how big this club is and what it means for a player if you move to a club like this. I would never regret it. Despite results, I’m really happy at the club. It’s been a difficult time for the team. I don’t want to talk about that much, but people are acting like the season is already over. There are so many games to play. Everything is still open. But as a player you feel responsible and you take responsibility. You care. Every player takes responsibility at Barca. That’s normal for a club like Barcelona” Depay replied to a journalist from ESPN Netherlands. (25.0) LATVIA (13.0) NETHERLANDS (1.10)The Catalonians have failed to score in four of their last six games and Depay is currently their top scorer, with three goals in nine appearances. The Dutchman is calm about the situation and knows that everything will soon change. “We know what the situation is right now. We know it’s difficult. Playing with young players, a lot of injuries. But I think it’s a matter of time. Everybody is panicking and for a club like Barcelona it’s a new situation. They’re used to winning everything with beautiful football. This is a new situation, but I am not worried. I’m sure we will turn things around” said Depay.
