Tijjani Reijnders and Joshua Zirkzee were both on fire last night as the Netherlands prevailed 5-2 against Bosnia. The AC Milan midfielder scored a goal and assisted an additional one, receiving words of praise from Ronald Koeman afterwards.
Reijnders has become an undisputed starter for the Netherlands, impressing everyone at the Euros, and his good form with the national team continued yesterday. He scored a nice goal after a nice run into the box and managed to get an assist for the same reason.
After the game, as cited by De Telegraaf (via MilanNews), the Netherlands manager Ronald Koeman was asked about the performances of Zirkzee and Reijnders. Both combined well on several occasions and certainly led the team to the victory.
“Joshua Zirkzee is strong and plays with the team. Together with Tijjani Reijnders, he forms a good pair. Tijjani is a super complete midfielder with acceleration,” he stated.
Fonseca was likely watching on and it remains to be seen if he will field Reijnders in a more advanced role, seeing as he clearly works well in front of goal. Especially now that Milan have Ismael Bennacer and Youssouf Fofana to start in the midfield tandem.
FONSECAAAAA FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PUT TIJANI AS CAM!
use Bennacer and Fofana as double-pivot and bench RLC for the rest of the season. I promise you Ws will start pilling up!
Thats the best you can do with this mid really. If Benny wont perform then try Loftus or Musah in the double pivot too. Okafor as a back up for the AM as well.
If this wont work out then its not to the coach, the management simply did very poor job in building that mid.
Hope its tried in the next game.
RLC is useless and showed it during his 3 games… those monstrosities were enough
Sell him and get Lewis Ferguson, insta upgrade
Problem is the transfer windows is closed now so we have to work with what we got. I never even wanted RLC to come here in the first place cause i knew he was not good enough from watching him in the Premier League.
And to think that we could’ve had that Zirkzee Tiji pairing right now …
Fck Furlani THE slimeball.
