Louis van Gaal took it for Memphis Depay during the press conference towards the World Cup qualifier against Montenegro. The 27-year-old attacker could not break any pots against Norway on Wednesday, but according to the national coach that was not the fault of Memphis.
Van Gaal was asked during the press meeting if he had an idea why Ronald Koeman is the only coach who gets Memphis to play. "If you want to draw conclusions after just one game, that's up to you, that's not up to me," the national coach replied to Valentijn Driessen's question. "That is due to the difficulty of how Norway played. Compact. And then he has very little space," responded the national coach when he received follow-up questions from the football chief of De Telegraaf.
"Memphis has offered himself a number of times. In the ball, but also in the depth. And he did not get the ball in his time. That is passing and kicking. That is seeing. the rhythm of Memphis had been played. But of course it has to do with the qualities of the opponent. And not just with Memphis," the national coach continued. "Memphis is of course a great player, he has gone through fantastic development, but he can't compete with three defenders when he's in such a small space. Nobody can. Ronaldo and Messi can't either. compare."
When Van Gaal received a similar question afterwards, he reacted with irritation. "I explained that. It's because of the difficulty. I can say that 26 more times and then if you say 26 times 'he didn't hit the ball'… I explained that. Why he made the wrong choices? Because he against three defenders at five meters. No footballer can do that."
