Tijjani Reijnders has been on fire with the Netherlands as of late, impressing everyone during the Euros in Germany earlier in the summer. Yesterday, he was back with the Oranje and he not only scored but also assisted.
While Milan fans were well aware of the midfielder’s qualities, others were taken aback by his high-quality performances at the Euros. His starting spot with the Netherlands is now undisputed and yesterday, the No.14 proved that once again as he scored and assisted against Bosnia.
The goal was very well taken, combining with Joshua Zirkzee (who almost joined Milan), and the assist came after a nice run on the right flank. He almost bagged a screamer as well just a few minutes before the goal, once again combining with Zirkzee.
The Netherlands ended up winning the game 5-2 and thus jumped to the top of their Nations League group, level on points with Germany. It remains to be seen if Paulo Fonseca will play Reijnders in a No.10 role of sorts, as he clearly does very well closer to the goal.
