The former Lyon man wants to quickly adjust to his new surroundings and start delivering his very best.
Memphis Depay says he’s eager to “adapt as soon as possible” to FC Barcelona’s playing style while also describing his own style of play.
Barcelona finally snapped up Depay on a free transfer earlier this month after being linked with him since the previous transfer window.
The Netherlands international made his first appearance for Barca in the pre-season friendly match against Girona last week, and it turned out to be a dream debut as he got on the scoresheet in Saturday’s 3-1 victory.
It will be interesting to see how Ronald Koeman sets up his team next season and how he utilizes his versatile countryman, who supposedly prefers to play on left-wing but can also operate as a striker.
“I always try to create a lot of danger and be direct, looking for the shortest way to score a goal. Be creative,” stated Depay in an interview with Sport.
“I love how Barca plays and I want to adapt as soon as possible.
“I want to win trophies and help the team with assists and goals. I have to give everything I have inside for the team. I have come here with all my qualities and I am going to try to apply them.
“You cannot compare Lyon with Barca. This is a new adventure for me. Another club, another changing room, something totally different.”
