In his interview with rivistaundici, (read full statementns HERE), Tijjani Reijnders spoke about the impact of Serie A on his style of play.
Here's what he had to say:
"Of course, it's always tough in the beginning," he acknowledges. "Fortunately, I received a lot of trust from the coach and my teammates last year, which helped me adapt more quickly. In Italy, I’ve learned that many teams play man-to-man, it’s a very competitive league where every match is difficult. If you're not focused, you get punished."
Reijnders added:
"There's also much more attention to match preparation compared to what I was used to in the Netherlands."
