FC Barcelona vs. Real Sociedad LaLiga Predictions

Details:

Messi-less Barcelona are going to be looking to form a flying start to the season once they combat Real Sociedad at Camp Nou. Argentina superstar is on the verge of joining PSG, and, in his absence, a person to observe within the home team are going to be France international Antoine Griezmann. to form things even worse for the Catalan giants, summer signing Kun Aguero is out of contention through injury.

Yet another new recruit Memphis Depay is pushing for a start. La Real, on the opposite hand, suffered a 3-1 loss to Osasuna in their last warm-up game. The Basques aren't considered good travelers, and albeit Leo Messi won't be playing for Barca anymore, we are tempted to place our money on the Catalans. a person to observe within the away team are going to be Sweden international Isak, who impressed in pre-season.

Memphis Depay is the Netherlands' great hope for the European title. At the age of 27, the striker is at the zenith of his career. It could have turned out quite differently.

It was a long, rocky road that Memphis Depay made from Rotterdam's underworld to this point. Back then, in 2010, as the now 27-year-old writes in his biography "The Heart Of A Lion", published in 2019, the Netherlands played in South Africa for a place in the World Cup final. He watches the national team on television. On the table in front of him: a kilogram of cocaine.

Memphis was bullied and beaten as a child

In order to be able to answer the first question, it takes a good leap in time, back to the years around the turn of the millennium.

Depay was born as the son of a Ghanaian refugee and a Dutch mother in the 8,000-strong town of Moordrecht, 20 kilometers northeast of Rotterdam. His parents met at Rotterdam Central Station and suddenly fell in love. Seven years after the fateful encounter, Memphis is born. The picture book family story seems perfect. But the idyll doesn't last long.

Depay's father brings two biological children he has from a previous relationship in Ghana to live with him in Moordrecht - and turns his back on Memphis and his mother Cora shortly before his fourth birthday. Although Depay senior only moves to neighboring Gouda, five kilometers away, with his two other children, Memphis will hardly see his father during his childhood. The reason why his jerseys only adorn his first name to this day.
