Tijjani Reijnders has been one of the standouts at Euro 2024 and while this is far from surprising to AC Milan fans, many are discovering the midfielder for the first. Tonight, he will play arguably the most important game of his career.
Due to several injuries in midfield, Ronald Koeman gave Reijnders an important role from the first game and the Milan man has responded in style. Making the most of his abilities on the ball, while also showcasing great movement, he has impressed everyone.
Tonight, his Netherlands will be up against England and it’s a very difficult game to call in advance. While one could argue that the Oranje have looked better playing-wise, Gareth Southgate’s men will be feeling confident after the penalty shoot-out win against Switzerland.
Reijdners will play an important role, that’s for sure, and this will certainly be the biggest game in his career so far. With Mike Maignan and Theo Hernandez eliminated from the competition, the midfielder is also the only Milan man still with a chance of reaching the Euros final.
The game is scheduled for 21:00 CEST and it should be an existing one, though it might be hard to top the Spain-Franca game from last night.
