In the 1st round of the UEFA Nations League A match played on September 8, Beijing time, the Netherlands defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina with a score of 5-2, showing a strong attacking force and team tacit understanding. After the match, Dutch player Reinders was interviewed, sharing his thoughts on the match and his feelings about his individual performance.
Reinders began by praising the team's overall performance: "We started the first half well, created a lot of good chances and had a very good game. Although Bosnia and Herzegovina brought the score close twice, we ended up scoring five goals with great teamwork. This proves that our preparation this week has been very successful, the team is full of energy and the players are getting better and better with each other. I'm excited to put these training results on display in the game."
Speaking about the tacit understanding with teammate Zielkirchner, Reinders said, "Zielkirchner is a very good player, and our cooperation has been shown to be good in matches. Although I can't say that I foresaw this tacit understanding in training, we play at a very high level on a regular basis, so it wasn't difficult to find each other in national team matches. I'm sure the understanding between us will get even better as the tournament progresses."
Reinders also looked confident about his performance in the game: "I think this was my best game with the national team so far. Not only did I contribute on the defensive end, but I also brought important help to the team by scoring goals. This is really a great encouragement and affirmation for me. I will continue to train hard and improve my ability to contribute more to the team."
