Following the Netherlands’ commanding 4-0 victory over Scotland in a recent international friendly, coach Ronald Koeman expressed glowing admiration for Milan midfielder Tijjani Reijnders, asserting that the young talent is indispensable to the Dutch squad.
Reijnders initiated the scoring for the Netherlands with a powerful strike into the top corner of the net at the Johan Cruyff Arena just before halftime. Additionally, he delivered a precise assist to Donyell Malen in the dying moments of the game.
Despite the impressive scoreline, Koeman maintained a critical stance toward his team’s overall performance. Yet, Reijnders stood out as the singular player commended by the Dutch coach during his post-match remarks.
Koeman lauded Reijnders as a “great player” who has rapidly risen to prominence. Reports in the Netherlands strongly suggest that Reijnders is a near certainty for inclusion in the Netherlands squad for the upcoming European Championships in Germany.
Speaking to Dutch outlet NOS, Koeman praised Reijnders’ effortless style of play, emphasizing his seamless integration into the team. When asked about the possibility of Reijnders partnering with Barcelona’s Frenkie De Jong in the Netherlands midfield, Koeman highlighted their similar agility and ball control.
“Tijjani has become a great player in a very short space of time. He can’t be left out of the Oranje.”
