\u201c(Bergkamp\u2019s goal) was an amazing moment for the country, and what a goal,\u201d Depay said. xx \u201cThis game will be decided by moments. We believe we can catch a moment and go through.\u201d<\/p>\n
Memphis was also full of praise for manager Louis van Gaal who remains undefeated in his current spell as manager of the Netherlands.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe haven\u2019t lost a game yet and our discipline in the team has tightened up when he arrived, which is important in a tournament,\u201d he said. xx \u201cEverybody knows his vision, character, and that\u2019s one of his biggest qualities to build a team. He\u2019s a coach who\u2019s very clear, he has a vision that\u2019s clear to him and he brings it over to the group clearly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Memphis was on target last time out against the Netherlands, taking his tally to 15 goals in 17 matches since Van Gaal returned as boss in August 2021.<\/p>\n
