It depends, it depends on what it depends on. From where we live in the world, everything depends. Even though it is in Spanish compared to the Italian version, almost everyone will have sung Jarabe De Palo’s hit several times in their life. “Dipende” was from 1998, the year of the World Cup in France and Roberto Baggio who was one step away from crossing paths with a thunderbolt Barthez. Bukayo Saka, on the other hand, was probably not yet in his parents’ intentions.
As mentioned, it all depends on how you look at the world. For Bukayo Saka, July 2021 was the darkest night of his life (so far) because in addition to losing the European Championship, he missed the decisive penalty, with Donnarumma doing a good job of hypnotizing him and who in reality had not understood that he had led Italy to victory in the Cup. Saka, despite being an expert penalty taker and one of the best players in the Premier League, had not succeeded in bringing a title back to England after 55 years. He did not succeed this summer either, when he surrendered to Spain in a different but similar way, despite not suffering the shame of having missed the penalty.
As with Beckham, these are mistakes that English fans do not digest lightly. In fact, Saka has often been insulted, denigrated, often even with unworthy and racist comments. To use another song: “Don’t be afraid to miss a penalty, it’s not by these details that you judge a player”. But as for “Depende”, well, Italians are not so sorry if Bukayo Saka had a black evening, that evening. Today Bukayo Saka turns 23.
