Reinders: It’s a pity that my younger brother missed the World Cup. I hope he can compete with Indonesia in four years’ time
6686 Sports November 13th Manchester City midfielder Tijani Reinders, who is preparing for the Dutch team, said in an interview with ESPN that it was a pity to see that his younger brother Iliano Reindes would not be able to participate in the World Cup with the Indonesian team next summer.
About my younger brother’s Indonesian team not qualifying for the World Cup
Reinders: It would be very special if we could play against each other in the World Cup, but it is a pity that it did not happen. He also felt very desperate, but that is part of football. Now we expect that he will follow the Indonesian team to participate in the World Cup in four years. They are making new plans, so it will take time.
Our whole family has been following the Indonesian team's competition and supporting them, but they failed to qualify for the World Cup. It would be great if he and I could play against each other in the World Cup, but it is a pity that it did not happen.
About the Premier League event
Reinders: The Premier League event is very good. I still enjoy every day at Manchester City. We invest a lot in training and strategic preparations.
On sitting on the bench against Liverpool in the last round
Reinders: That was the coach's decision. If you look at our lineup, you will find that any player has a chance to enter the starting lineup. I have been given special attention in the past few years, but when you play for a club like Manchester City, you sometimes sit on the bench.
About the match against Poland
Reinders: We know how important this game is, because we know exactly what we can achieve, and it is very close now.
