Memphis Depay's arrival in Brazil was met with controversy and skepticism. Many questioned his decision to join Corinthians, suggesting it could be a step toward a possible return to Europe. However, the Dutch forward remained focused on his new challenge, setting aside the criticisms and rumors about his future.

Last night, Depay showcased his quality and commitment by scoring his first goal with the Corinthians jersey in a crucial match against Athletico Paranaense. This goal not only marked a personal milestone but also contributed to a vital victory in the team's fight for survival in the Brasileirão.

The goal, a testament to his skill, comes at a critical time for the 'Timão,' reaffirming his role as a key player in the club's offense. With this first goal, Memphis is beginning to make his mark in Brazilian football and win the trust of the fans.

Memphis is staying put

This comes amidst the recent controversy surrounding the club's main sponsor. Corinthians announced a week ago that they will maintain their partnership with the sports betting house Esporte da Sorte, after it was not listed among the websites that will be blocked in Brazil for failing to meet the requirements of the Ministry of Finance.

In an official statement, the Brazilian club asserted that they are "authorized to continue displaying Esporte da Sorte," whose brand occupies the front of the men's football jersey, and that the contract signed for 309 million reais (nearly 55 million dollars) "remains fully respected by both parties."
