His ups and downs in life.

This summer, Messi and Barcelona news one after another, for the new handsome Koeman, is a thorny issue, but the step-by-step construction of the team is also his pursuit of idealization.

There had been rumours that he was interested in signing van der Beck, who had not yet moved to Manchester United, but in this shortened summer window, he quickly re-targeted his new prey.

Memphis Deppe's name must be familiar, in addition to the Dutch background, his career several ups and downs, perhaps, lost a lot of halo along the way, but also regained some life experience.

one?

Treasure Boy of Eindhoven.

Deppe, who made his debut in PSV Eindhoven, has the label of genius.

A month away from his 17th birthday, he scored twice in his debut, and even if it was a Dutch Cup match, it was inevitable for fans to take a look at the rising stars with speed and explosive power in the crowd.

When a teenager is blessed by the Dutch Cup, the Dutch Super Bowl and the U17 European Youth Championship, it cannot be scribbled as "luck", especially when he scored 14 goals in 43 games in the 2013-14 season. make sure he gets on a flight to the World Cup in Brazil.

Scoring two goals in four appearances is a surprise for a 20-year-old newcomer who at least made it to the top three in the 2014 World Cup best rookie award.

After the gilded World Cup, Depemu returned to the Netherlands with an impressive gesture. He won the Dutch golden boots with 28 goals in 40 games, and of course he gave PSV Eindhoven a gift in addition to the six-year-old Dutch championship. and a transfer fee of 31 million pounds.

From the little-known southern town of Mordrecht to the Philips Stadium to the world-famous Old Trafford Stadium, Deppe, who has practiced his skills in the streets since childhood, has the feeling of dream shining into reality.

Along the way, he held high the torch of rare fame over the New year, and along the way, some people constantly questioned his character and his responsibility, but the briefly ups and downs of Deppe still became the main body of his own destiny, and the olive branch extended by Manchester United was the best counterattack.

two?

Parallel Import No. 7 from Old Trafford.

Van Gaal, who led him to enjoy the second runner-up in the World Cup, trusted the young man and the No. 7 shirt was a meaningful welcome gift.

In fact, the Dutchman was once very close to Paris Saint-Germain, and the relationship between master and apprentice served as an invisible bargaining chip in the transfer. Two months later, he scored three goals to beat Bruges in the Champions League, including two delightful goals.

"I decided to kiss him."

With a smile on his face, Van Gaal applauded the proud students and soon scored another goal against the old boss PSV Eindhoven, and the fans at Philips Stadium were not stingy with applause for their children.

It was thought that genius would become an iconic pawn for the Red Devils to rebuild, but he was abolished in October because of his sloppy attitude and wave-shooting habits on the pitch.

I thought he would humbly accept the advice of the big brother in the team, but he has deteriorated even more, but his grandiose look is often dragged into the pigtail by the media. Van Gaal's tone changed from "watching him play for five minutes. I knew he was a genius" to "he should see a psychiatrist", so it's not surprising to miss the FA Cup final squad.

Van Gaal said: "he will be given more chances next season."

But the clay Bodhisattva was replaced by Mourinho, and Deppe specifically consulted Sneijder, but the Portuguese was not moved: "We have never had a personnel problem in this position." we have Lingard, Mata, Mhita, Martial, Young and Rushford, and I can even guest Rooney. "

By implication, it is not a pity to give up.

In the 2016-17 season, he appeared as a substitute in the Premier League for only 20 minutes, and before he could be successful, he was packed and sent to Lyon to evaluate Deppe, but Manchester United fans never mind humiliating him with "parallel imports".

three?

Losers also have the right to start over.

"the Premier League is the most difficult league in the world."

No one will listen carefully to a loser's excuse, but some people are willing to take the time to "turn waste into treasure".

The Dutchman, who arrived in the winter of 2017, scored five goals in half a season, far below the standard of excellence, but lived up to a transfer fee of 16 million pounds.

From a personal point of view of Deppe, Lyon is not on a par with Manchester United in fame, but at least it is much warmer than the boring bench.

The so-called "progress" is based on his past self, especially in the career of the Red Devils, who did not want to look back, he himself said: "I am lost."

In the 2017-18 season, in this full season, Deppe really found himself he had not seen for a long time. He became the first player in the five major leagues to assist the Big four in a single game in the past five years, and soon scored a hat-trick with a goal behind.

Amid the euphoria that Lyon won the Champions League, people began to wonder whether he was not satisfied at Manchester United.

Or is it the slightly weaker Ligue 1 that gives him the illusion of a star?

It's a complex issue, just like his ups and downs in his career.

His figures declined in 2018-19 compared with last season, but he, who is at the core of tactics, played more freely until the national team, and some people were willing to re-follow him with the word "Nirvana rebirth". In fact, the transfer scandal around him has never stopped.

?

There is no doubt that there is a broad road waiting for him.

Unfortunately, in the process of walking and watching, Deppe, who had just been transferred, once again experienced the feeling of a roller coaster.

This time it can't be attributed to him dropping the chain on the court because he suffered a torn cruciate ligament injury. Before that, he played 18 games for Lyon, contributed 14 goals and 2 assists and 14 appearances for the Dutch national team. contributed nine goals and two assists, so the buyers returned to silence mode.

four?

Football cures everything.

Time is the fairest witness. 26-year-old Deppe and Oyar and Musa Dembele have been talked about in Lyon's record of making it to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League. The difference is that this may be the ceiling he can touch in Lyon.

"I'm only 26 years old, and I don't know a generation.
