In addition to serving as preparation for the next national team matches, the Holland-Spain It was also a meeting with clear interest for him Barça in terms of the future, since two of its priority objectives in the winter market, such as the forward Memphis Depay, Olympique de Lyon player, and the central Eric
Garcia, Manchester City footballer, started at the Johan Cruyff ArenA and measured their strength on the field.
Eric Garcia, 19, continued to receive the trust of Luis Enrique and made a couple in the axis of the rear next to Iñigo Martinez. Despite his youth, the defender once again showed great solvency and was key in the risky exit of the ball by ‘La Roja’, in addition to successfully stopping rival internships. His possible arrival at the Camp Nou would allow Koeman have one more cash in the central position, one of the most weakened positions of the Barça squad after the injury of Araujo and the recurrent discomfort in the knee of Umtiti, which have prevented him from debuting this course. Eric convinced, once again, with his game.
For its part, Memphis Depay, 26, is already consolidated as one of the great stars of the Netherlands and played as a left winger in the presence of the Sevilla player Luuk de Jong as an offensive reference for the ‘oranje’, a position in which he also performed wonderfully, although he had freedom of movement on the pitch.
Koeman He wants him as a '9', but his versatility could also be a virtue to be exploited as a Barça player if his signing takes place in January. Depay, who a few days ago said that he cannot promise that he will continue in Lyon until the end of the season, left samples of his undoubted talent, with various technical gestures, and also sacrificed himself to cover the climbs of Bellerín for his band. In the second half, with the captain's armband, he brushed against the goal before being substituted but lacked success against Unai Simon.
Wijnaldum SUV
Another of the highlights of the Netherlands-Spain was Georginio Wijnaldum. The name of the Liverpool midfielder was also one of those that rang out loudly to reinforce Barça and Koeman he does not lose sight of it. The Dutchman, who is released in June, multiplied throughout the field, playing at a high level and exhibiting a lot of power.
