Memphis Depay spoke about his relationships with Quincy Promes and other players who found themselves at the center of different affairs.
Memphis Depay is not a man to keep his tongue in his pocket and keep his opinions to himself. The former Manchester United and Olympique Lyonnais once again proved it this Tuesday, in comments relayed by OUR. Present at the gathering of the Dutch national team, three days before the reception of Scotland in a friendly, the Atlético de Madrid player spoke of his relations with Quincy Promes, as well as other players targeted at at one time or another, by different accusations. Enough to provoke some reactions in his country.
Following a photo posted on his social networks where he appears alongside Quincy Promes sentenced to six years in prison for cocaine trafficking, Memphis Depay took the floor to justify himself to the press. “ We remain friends and I won't let my friends down, but that doesn't mean I agree with everything they do. My photo with Quincy was not intended to provoke anyone. We were just on vacation in Dubai. Paul Pogba was also in the photo. We just had a good time together. »
Faithful in friendship
But the Netherlands international didn't stop there and mentioned other players, such as Dani Alves and Benjamin Mendy. “ People need to understand that I come from a difficult background. My brother was also in prison for ten years and almost never asked me about it. But about Promes, yes. Benjamin Mendy and Dani Alves were also involved in criminal cases, but that doesn't mean they stop being my friends. » And Memphis Depay repeated: “ I'm not saying my friends are doing everything right, but I won't let them. He's just not my type. »
The player's point of view is not shared by his coach. Ronald Koeman declared for his part: “ If I were him, I wouldn't support him not. Things would be easier if he didn't support him. (…) I know they're friends, but it's a sensitive subject. » The Dutch press was in any case moved by the words of the player, a very loyal friend.
