By Jidonu Mauyon Modified 30 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Barcelona manager - Xavier Hernandez Barcelona attacker Memphis Depay has been relegated to a bit-part role, having started just two games across competitions this season. Former Chelsea defender Mario Melchiot believes the lack of minutes could have adverse effects on the winger's performances at the IFA World Cup in Qatar later this year. Depay is expected to lead the attack for the Netherlands at the quadrennial tournament. Oranje manager Louis van Gaal recently hinted that the winger will likely make it to the squad for the competition despite his limited involvement at Barcelona. Melchiot, though, feels Depay's lack of minutes in Xavi Hernandez's team could tell in his World Cup performances. barcacentre@barcacentreLouis van Gaal, coach of the national team of the Netherlands, has acknowledged that he would be happier if Memphis Depay and Frenkie de Jong get to play more.

[sport] #fcblive “Playing as a player, you want the rhythm, you want to be playing every week. To him, especially the way he plays because he's used to always playing," the former Blues defender said on ESPN. “It's the first time that he won't be performing in those many games back to back. He's one of the key players as well in the side, he's the main striker." Melchiot went on to add that Depay will need to train harder to maintain his fitness considering his lack of playing time at Barcelona. According to the Dutchman, that will enable Depay to be ready for the World Cup and be a difference maker for his nation in the tournament.
