At the beginning of the article, first of all, a digression, in the football world, if a player is the core, the player can fully play his strength and characteristics to help the team achieve results, if the core position is replaced by others, it is impossible to play their own advantages, then the ability of this player will be questioned. This is the embarrassing situation That Depay is in.
When Depay joined Barca, it was because of Koeman and Messi, Koeman was Depay's head coach in the Netherlands, Koeman has always been very important to Depay, and Depay helped the Dutch team to successfully qualify for the European Championship. When Coman came to Barcelona to teach, he always wanted to reunite with his disciples at Camp Nou. Coman believes Depay will surprise Barca's striker line.
It is undeniable that Depay came to Barca, and there is no doubt about the strength, and he has scored 8 goals in 21 games and provided two assists. It also proves that Depay is a qualified striker at Barca, as no one has surpassed Depay's goal numbers except for departing Messi and Griezmann, which is not enough to say anything?
When he joined Barca for Messi, depay had already parted ways without even meeting Messi, and Depay also said in an interview that he did not expect Messi to leave in such a way, nor did he expect that he would not be able to say hello to Messi.
After Messi left, when Koeman was still coaching Barca, the heavy responsibility of the forward line had actually been handed over to Depay, who did not fail in his mission, worked hard in the team, hoping to help Barca out of the predicament, but when Koeman left the team, Depay's position was also correspondingly diluted. After Harvey returned to coaching, as the fans expected, Depay was going to be swept out.
According to Radio Catalan, Depay is not on Xavi's plan and the players may leave Barcelona in the summer window.
When Xavi returned to Barca, he was already full of questions about Depay's future, saying that he did not know whether Depay would be able to adapt to his coaching tactics, and when Ferrantore joined Barca, the news that came out seemed to make people more convinced that Depay was going to be swept out.
From the French gang, to the Dutch gang, to the Spanish gang, Barca has actually been experimenting on the road to revival. None of them have been successful, but they are all on the road to success, but for Depay, it seems not very fair, Depay is also considered a second-rate player, in a team like Lyon, can be entrusted with heavy responsibilities, but in a big club like Barca, it can only be swept out, but one thing is not clear, 8 goals and 2 assists in 21 games, is already the top scorer in Barca. Isn't that good enough?
Maybe Barca was hoping to make a fortune. Because Coman has always been a transition coach for Barca, it has now been confirmed that Xavi returns and Depay is sold, and will definitely receive a certain transfer fee, because Depay is coming for Messi and Koeman. And it is a free agent to join, if this summer window Depay leaves, there will definitely be other teams to pay the corresponding transfer fee, Barca will not lose money but will make money.
summary
In fact, many players want to join Barca, but in the end, the players who do not want to leave, such as Umtiti, can be sold are players who still have a certain value in football, such as Depay, in the end, Is Depay not suitable for Barca, or does Barca want to make a lot of money?
