Memphis Depay resorted this Friday to social networks to share a curious video that many interpreted as a provocation to Palmeiras and Portuguese coach Abel Ferreira. The moment comes the day after the victory of his Corinthians by 0-2, a result that guaranteed the passage to the quarterfinals of the Brazilian Cup.
In the video, the Dutch International emerges elegantly dressed to observe a caged pig – work of Brazilian artist Nelson Leirner – on display at the São Paulo Pinacoteca. The choice of image was seen as a clear allusion to the Palmeiras emblem, guided by Portuguese coach Abel Ferreira.

Despite the humorous tone of the publication, the news is not so positive for the 31-year-old. Depay was replaced by Ángel Romero shortly before the break and was eventually diagnosed with a grade 2 lesion in the left thigh.
