If Van Dijk is the foundation, Depay is the headline. His 52 international goals in 105 caps is a remarkable rate for a player who has often played as a withdrawn second striker or wide left, and Koeman has historically built attacking patterns around his left-foot cuts inside from the touchline. The Corinthians move raised eyebrows about match sharpness against top-tier pressing, but the staff insist his conditioning is at 2022 levels.
Group F is winnable for the Dutch — Japan and Sweden both have transition vulnerabilities Memphis exploits well. A strong tournament would lift his international total beyond what most observers expect to ever be matched; a quiet one risks turning his Brazilian-league swansong into the dominant narrative.
Strengths
- Clinical left-footed finishing in and around the box
- Set-piece delivery, especially free kicks
- Hold-up play as a roving No. 9 or second striker
