Memphis was Koeman's great request since he arrived at Barça, but after the last games there remains a question: If Memphis had not failed in two key moments ... would Koeman continue in his position?

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Ronald Koeman left to be trainer of the FC Barcelona after the defeat of the culés in front of the Ray Vallecano (1-0) with which the team left the feeling that, really, did not give for more. The party in Vallecas came preceded of a defeat, in front of the Real Madrid in the Camp Nou (1-2) in which the Barça also remained 'portrayed' in front of the White House, that did not play a good party, but was intelligent.

The true is that in both clashes there was a protagonist, indirect or directly: Memphis Depay, the one who was called to be one of the leaders of the Barcelona picture after the exit of Leo Messi of the Barça, in both parties had errors that 'cost' the defeat and, later, the dismissal of Koeman, very painful for him, fits to remember, because it was the one who the 'carried' to the Camp Nou.

With his two errors turned into the 'hangman' of Ronald Koeman, because probably if the Barça had gone out alive of these two clashes, the history would be very distinct right now and the one of Zaandam would be still in his place. In the Classical, lost a balloon that David Praises 'hunted' with which began the played of the so much that opened the marker. Memphis Pursued it, but was not sufficient.

In Vallecas 'condemned' to the Barça directly, although the reality is that all the team was very desconectado and without ideas of what do with the balloon. The true is that Memphis failed the launching from the eleven metres that had meant the tie in the marker. Surely, the Barça had stepped forward, looked for definitively the traced back...

In any case, in the football do not cost the suppositions or the "and if...", by what it is necessary to assume a reality in which Ronald Koeman has been the most distinguished and deserved a dismissal that took too much, as it recognised Joan Laporta, because the image of the team has been the same in all the season. Without shine and with a lot of shadows.

Memphis Sacked of Koeman

The Dutch has been one of the players of the FC Barcelona that has sacked of Ronald Koeman, through a publication in Instagram. Memphis Wrote "gave him a new impulse to my career, and am very grateful therefore. I have you a lot of respect like trainer, but even more like human being and expect that we go back us to find to work together in the future. Thank you, míster".
