Memphis Depay was portrayed in the Dutch and foreign media on Tuesday with not the most beautiful colors. True, not for nothing.
Before his first training session with the Dutch national team, in this squad window, M. Depay spoke to the media and expressed support for the criminal Quincy Promes.
"Quincy Promes, whom you read about, is not the Quincy Promes I know. I don't know that Quincy Promes who is being accused."
"Atletico" forward also stated that he is good friends with Dani Alves and Benjamin Mendy. The first is currently in prison for sexual assault against his former wife. Mendy also faced such allegations, but they were not proven and the case was closed.
"I come from a difficult environment. If people read my book, they would understand."
Dani Alves and Benjamin Mendy are also my friends," said M. Depay to local journalists.
The forward also expressed his support for his former teammate Q. Promes on social media. This was commented on by the head coach of the Netherlands, Ronald Koeman: "I wouldn't do that if I were him. He would live more calmly if he didn't do that."
"I understand that they are friends, but in this case, everything is very sensitive," the strategist said.
Q. Promes was detained in Dubai, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. The Netherlands requested his extradition for the stabbing of his half-brother with a knife and for transporting 1.3 kilograms of cocaine across the border. The forward still belongs to the Russian club Spartak Moscow.
