“They were certainly important, so I am happy with it,” PSV said the player trained by the NOS. “At a certain point you get closer, then you pass a Huntelaar and Kluivert. Then it’s the media who throw light on it. He’s working on those goals. But I’m a striker. I just stand in the rush, with something else I have to be busy than making goals and giving assists? ”

“I am very happy that I have achieved it and that I went over it. Then we can continue,” Depay continues. “Of course I am very proud of it. I manifested it. I also thanked everyone in the dressing room.”
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, Robin van Persie and Patrick Kluivert
But he wanted to thank more people. “Also the big players who have been ahead of me, who are no longer playing. Robin (van Persie, ed.) And Klaas (-Jan Huntelaar, ed.). I did not play with Patrick Kluivert, but Kluivert was one of those who inspired me to reach the Dutch national.
Memphis Depay leaves Robin van Persie behind and is only top scorer of all time of the Dutch national team
With his goals orange, Depay also sometimes helped through a difficult period. “I know that. Everyone knows that. The players and the KNVB also know what I have meant for the Dutch national team. We are often asked ‘What should be with the striker?’. But I think we just have a striker in the team who scores a lot and gives a lot of assists. I try to let my feet speak, keep confidence in myself and in the team. I also need the team.”
Cody Gakpo and Denzel Dumfries
The goals were exemplary for that. “I spoke with Cody about the first goal before the game (Gakpo, ed). With the 51st it is nice that it turns out to be so. And at the 52nd, the pass is of Denzel (Dumfries, ed.). It is so important for the Dutch national team. I am also happy that he gave the assist for the winning. I try to fill it in, as I filled in and filled in all those years. In the end I am still there. And I intend to keep doing my thing. You are not rid of me yet. ”

Now the big goal is to achieve the World Cup football. “We have to qualify. That is the ultimate goal. This is fantastic for me, but together we have a goal and that is much more important than this evening for me. Although it is ultimately something to be proud of when you go into the books.”
