“I watched a lot of series in my room and then stayed awake until about four or five o'clock. There were several players who did that. I feel fresh and fruity now,” said Reinders, who had some extra days off from the national matches. Coach Ronald Koeman did not have to report until Friday. “It was good for me, it allowed me to recover from my trip. Of course, things had already been discussed, in terms of the game plan. But I managed to catch up completely.”
Milan lost a training match to Roma 5-2 in Australia. “During that match, I definitely kept the European Championship on my mind,” Reinders said. “I didn't look for duels unnecessarily. Fortunately, that worked out well.”
First final tournament
The 25-year-old Reijnders, who made his debut for the Dutch national team in September last year, will make his first final start. The former Arizona player is now talking to international players with more experience. He said of Memphis Depay, Daley Blind and captain Virgil Vane: “These boys can share their experiences with you. You talk about it at the dinner table. These players will also be heard in the dressing room if necessary. That definitely helps.” rooster.
Reijnders' situation in the Dutch team has also changed somewhat after a strong year at Milan. “Hopefully I can continue the trend I've had this season, that's definitely the goal.”
