THE BLAME IS ON DEPAY IN CORINTHIANS: NEW MANAGER SEEDORF

According to Mail Sport; Corinthians, one of the most deep-rooted and successful clubs in Brazilian football, is going through one of the darkest periods in its history. Falling to 16th place in the standings by getting 8 consecutive defeats in the league and fighting a great battle for survival in the relegation zone, Memphis Depay is shown as the main culprit of this deep crisis experienced in the Brazilian giant. The former Manchester United striker, who joined the squad with great hopes and a magnificent signing ceremony at the beginning of the season, completely overflowed the patience of the fans and the sports public with his highly inadequate performance on the pitch. The Dutch star fell far short of expectations by playing with only 1 goal and 2 assists in the 23 official matches he played with the black and white jersey this season. This disappointing picture displayed also caused a harsh reaction from Craque Neto, one of the legendary names of the club. The legendary name Neto targeted the out-of-form star in his bitter statements and accused Depay of "setting the club on fire" and made harsh criticisms. While this inefficiency in the team's attacking line and the lack of a leader on the pitch were seen as the most fundamental reason for the bad course, the management put an urgent rescue plan into action. The Corinthians management found the cure in changing the manager with the hope of raising the rapidly bottoming team to its feet again and guaranteeing to stay in the league. Dutch legend Clarence Seedorf was appointed as the manager to save the season in the remaining weeks and instill a new spirit in the community. How the new manager will fix the broken morale of the team and find the ticket out of the crisis is eagerly awaited. The black and white fans want to keep their hopes of staying in the league alive with the vision and experience the new coach will add to the team in this critical process. How the Dutch star Depay will react under Seedorf's management is already among the most discussed topics in the Brazilian press.
