Reijnders was given the MOTM award in our player ratings, with a 6.5/10, and was the best player for Milan along with his midfield partner Ruben Loftus-Cheek. With the season opener fast approaching, it’s good to see the signings doing well.
Speaking to MilanTV after the game, as you can see in the video below, Reijnders shared his thoughts on the game and his role.
On the game…
“Yeah it was a good match. In the first half we controlled the game, but a little less in the second. I think we should have found the winner before the penalty shootout.”
On his role…
“In the beginning, it’s like searching for what your position is. Of course, with a new team you have a different role. Now I’m getting more confident because I know what the coach wants me to do, and I can be myself.”
On the welcome he has received…
“It’s one of the biggest clubs in the world and you feel that immediately. The training intensity is high and the matches we play are good. I felt very welcome from the beginning, it feels like a family.”
