In the European preliminaries of the World Cup, the Netherlands drew 1-1 with Poland. Depay started and scored in this game.
The 31-year-old Depay, as the Dutch team's history's top scorer, has 8 goals and 4 assists in 7 games in this World Cup qualifying match. He is the absolute firepower for the Dutch team to dominate the group stage, helping the team almost book a spot in the World Cup.
However, Depay has actually long been away from mainstream European leagues. He went to play in Brazil in 2024, and the player is now worth 9 million euros. Although his performance at Corinthians in the Brazilian League was quite satisfactory, he took on the goal scoring task for the Dutch national team, which can be regarded as living up to Koeman's trust. When he was young, Depay played for clubs such as Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in La Liga, Manchester United in the Premier League, and Lyon in French Ligue 1.
