When it happens remains unclear. But it should be strange if Depay does not pay the current Feyenoord trainer as top scorer of all time.

“Another one,” Depay laughed just after the game. “Although that record does not play in my head.” In a group with Finland, Malta, Lithuania and Poland, he will probably get enough opportunities to score.

Depay scored his third goal in thirteen international matches. The striker was not always completely fit at Oranje last year. “But now I have not had any injuries for eight months,” said the striker who can play his 102nd international match against Malta.
