Where are the Manchester United and FC Lyon fans? Gather here because you will love reading this. Not many professional footballer stars in Europe who have Ghanaian roots have shown the kind of deep love Memphis Depay has been showing to Ghana. Most comments, pictures and videos from Memphis on social media shows that he is deeply in love with Ghana.
He is always proud he has his roots in Ghana. He could have played for the senior national team, Black Stars, but he turned the opportunity down owing to the fact his Ghanaian father, Dennis Depay, neglected and left him to his Dutch mother, Cora Schensema, in his early years. As I write this article, he has peacefully reunited with his father. I don't know what exactly his dad might be thinking about but I am sure he has regretted neglecting young Memphis especially now that his son is a superstar and also couldn't play for Black Stars because of his actions. This should serve as a lesson to all up coming fathers. Don't ever neglect the products of your sperms no matter the situation.
Depay became popular to many Ghanaian football fanatics when he moved to Manchester United. At a point in ones life, you start to show maturity in whatever you do. Your attitudes or behaviours changes and such is Memphis. He started showing deep love for Ghana when his stellar performance started at his current French Club, Lyon.
Memphis has been spotted in Ghana at different locations especially Cape Coast. A lot of stars around the globe knows their roots to be Ghana but only fewer of them have even visited or shown interest in Ghana. Memphis Depay is exceptional among them. He loves everything about Ghana. The dress, the people, the food and the historical places. He has good memories about Ghana after his recent visit. I wouldn't be surprised if one day he says he want to live in Ghana.
He had a lot of fun in Ghana. In his visit to one of the the blind and deaf school in Ghana, he slept in a dormitory. He could have slept in one of the luxurious 5star hotels around but he chose to sleep in a dormitory. What human love surpass this? He danced and played football game with the kids. Guess what? He also dressed in their school uniform. His interactions with them was so great and I haven't seen one of this kind.
As a footballer, he has a unique way of celebrating goals he scores. He does that by using his index fingers to close his ear canal on both sides of his head. The meaning of this sign is best known to him. His style of celebrating his goals has been copied by other footballers around the world. According to him, once you decide to use his style, then you have decided to live a special way of living. He made this post with a picture of one of the Ghana national team and Kotoko FC players celebrating with his style.
He has really shown his love for Ghana. He never stop using the Ghana flag in most of his posts. On March 6th, 2020, he made a post on Twitter wishing all Ghanaians a happy Independence day. This is lovely. He calls Ghanaians "my people" because he knows he is a true son of Ghana
One of his recent post that caught many attention was, "When I became blind and deaf to the world, my spirit became stronger and I started to focus on myself and the relationship with God, but I will never shut my eyes off racism". He added a picture he took together with the blind and deaf children in Cape Deaf School in Cape Coast. Reading this post will melt your heart.
Memphis Depay is indeed a true son of Ghana. When your roots calls you, you have nothing to say than to oblige to it lovely. Memphis, Ghana also loves you as her son.
