Memphis Depay calls for mentality shift at Corinthians after fourth straight loss
Corinthians striker Memphis Depay has called for a change in team mentality following the club's fourth consecutive defeat in the Campeonato Brasileiro, a loss to Chapecoense at the Neo Química Arena.
Depay defended coach Fernando Diniz, suggesting that players must take responsibility for their performance and handle the pressure of representing the club. Diniz responded to the striker's comments by stating that Depay's remarks are merely his personal opinion and that the club is capable of managing such internal dynamics.
