1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 12th News Yesterday Manchester City officially announced that Reindez joined the team, and French Football also released a recent exclusive interview with Reindez. In the interview, Reindez talked about topics such as early career and family.
Rientes did not set foot in the Eredivisie three giants Ajax, Eindhoven and Feyenoord during his youth training, but made his career debut at his hometown club Zwolle. He joined Alkmaar in 2017 and did not gain a foothold until the 2021/22 season. He was 23 years old at the time, and he was slightly late compared to other talented players.
Earlier in his career
Reindez: “I started out as a forward, just like everyone else. By the age of 13 or 14, I was placed in the midfield. I have never changed positions since then, and soon I realized that this is the best position for me. From the beginning of the youth team, I knew I had the talent to be a professional player. I watched faster, faster, and better skills than others. I have been working hard to improve and improve.
“I played football at Zwolle, my hometown club. Later I went to Twente, which was over an hour’s drive from home. I want to improve myself by joining a bigger club, which I think is better for my growth. But in the end, it took me too much energy: I went out at 6 am and got home at 8 pm.
“After a period of such a time, I was so tired. I didn’t want to continue like this, so I went back to Zwol. I made my career debut in Zwol, and then I joined Alkmar in 2017, and it took a lot of time to gain a foothold there (it wasn’t until the 2021/22 season).
“I’m certainly impatient. I keep communicating with the club and the coach, but every time they ask me to wait, saying the timing is wrong, and saying that they want others to play first… In the summer of 2021, I told myself that if I can’t play the main player this season, I have to go somewhere else to see it. It was then that the player who originally played my position left, and this finally gave me a chance. Fortunately, I caught it. ”
Family
The father was Reindez FootThe leader of the football career, Reindez’s name also comes from a star. Reindez: “My parents named me Tijani because they like the name Tijani Babanjida very much. He is the winger of Ajax and Nigeria. There is a Nigerian name that made me joke about Chukueze in the locker room. I have always lived in football.
“When I was born, my father (Martin Reindez) played football in the American Professional League. We followed him to the United States, then to Finland, and then back to the Netherlands. My mother told me that she never could concentrate on watching her father’s game because my brother and I were always running around in the stands. When he was playing in Zwolle, I followed him whenever possible, and after training I would pass the ball with the players.
“From childhood, I never thought about anything else I could do, except be a football player. It might sound boring, but I really don’t have any other hobbies. My brother and I always wanted to be professional players. We always train together and play football on the street. It’s crazy to make us both succeed.
“I hope one day we can play football together at the highest level. Usually, my father’s experience has helped us a lot. We would make several calls every day to talk about life, football, and give each other advice… When we were young, my father loved to go out and play. He always tells us not to make the same mistakes. At the same age, we are much smarter than him. My dad is my agent, my personal trainer, the best coach I can have. ”

On the field position and source of inspiration
Reindez: “My favorite position? Of course it is the No. 8 position. Recently, I played further and played at the No. 10 position, which is to make up for the absence of some players. I tried my best to help the team, but this was not the same position as the No. 8 position. I am a B2b player who can participate in the offensive organization and finish the end.
“I loved watching Iniesta when I was a kid and was inspired a lot. Later, I was fascinated by De Bruyne, especially his way of constantly observing his surroundings and finding spaces that others cannot see.
“This became a very important part of my game. It is natural for me to constantly observe the surroundings, stand in the right position, and create space during the competition. Although this requires training, it is also an instinct. The biggest thing I need to improve is dealing with confrontation. I hope to grab more balls, although it’s not entirely my duty.
“In addition, from the opponent’s perspective, I was impressed by Pedri in the friendly match against Barcelona. And my absolute idol is Lionel Messi, despite our different positions, he is the best player in the world. When I was a child, my brother and I agreed that if we raise a dog, we would name it Messi. I recently got a Pomsky (a dog breed with a mixed Pompei and Husky) and gave it this name. ”
