The forward played 75 minutes in which it contributed really little in Alicante and, in full wintry market, his future is still in the 'air' and harvesting multiple critical. The last in loading against the one of Moordrecht was his compatriot Ruud Gullit, legend of the Dutch selection and the AC Milan.
For the ex player tulip, the main problem of Memphis in the Barça has been his inability to "reinvent " and look for accommodate elsewhere of the attack, mainly after the arrival of Robert Lewandowski in summer.

In Qatar converted a goal in five parties, showing an irregular level in the pair of orange attack beside Cody Gakpo.
In this sense, Ruud was very hard against his compatriot. "It is Memphis a player of world-wide size? It can be it. In the Lyon showed that yes that it can be it, but also is necessary to remember that in the United fracasó and that now is him sucediendo this in the Barça. I think that he same thinks that it is a player of world-wide size, but this also is necessary to show it in the field", sentenced the ex player of the Milan.
