Memphis Depay has been presented as a new Atletico Madrid player after completing his move from Barcelona.
The Dutchman spoke at a press conference and was asked about why he’d decided to join Diego Simeone’s side.
“I had the experience of playing against them last year. I was impressed by the new stadium and the intensity with which they play, the fighting spirit,” he said.
“We had a bad time, we lost. It’s a very big club and a good team. I’ve heard a lot of good stories about them. The club made it clear to me that they wanted me to be in the team.
