Former Real Madrid star Rafael van der Vaart has spoken out in defense of his former Dutch team-mate, Memphis Depay.
The Netherlands got off to a bad start to their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign as Ronald Koeman's return to charge of La Oranje was marred by a 4-0 loss to France.
A miserable night ended for Koeman's guests in the final in Paris when Depay missed a penalty in stoppage time as Mike Maignan made a comfortable save for the Atletico Madrid forward.
Despite being the most experienced striker in Koeman's squad, with 43 goals in 87 caps, van der Vaart thinks Depay is underrated by Dutch fans after his persistent contributions.
"Of course he misses penalties, but it's sad that nobody else wants to take them," he said in an interview with Dutch broadcaster NOS, as reported via Mundo Deportivo. "I think the same with Messi. He's the best player ever, but he also misses a lot of penalties.
“He took them every time, but no one said:
'let me take'. I don't compare Memphis to Messi, but he is part of our Messi.
“It is true that he had a bad game against France, but he is still our best player. "If it was Dirk Kuyt, he would get a very different response in the Netherlands. When he plays badly, he immediately takes the blow, the first person to blame is Memphis.
Depay and the Netherlands came back from a tumultuous match in Paris to their usual win in the second qualifying round, with a home win over Gibraltar.
