When asked about his performance in the Netherlands’ 6-1 win over Turkey, in which he scored a hattrick, Memphis Depay said: “We were often sloppy, especially me. I lost my first three balls, I am not satisfied with that and I need to improve.
“But if we start like we did, we make it easy on ourselves. After going two-up, we expanded our game and then you can afford those sloppy moments. But we should actually try and keep a high level, and I'm talking about myself here again.
“Everyone might think I'm just jubilant now after the hat trick. I'm happy, yes, but I expect more from myself.”
Memphis became the 8th best goalscorer in Netherlands’ history and even matched Johan Cruyff’s tally of 33 goals after his hat-trick on Tuesday.
He even scored a stunning goal in the process, but the Dutchman seems to hold himself in very high standards to be critical of himself after that kind of performance.
