Regarding Milan’s performance in Serie A, Reijnders remains confident despite recent challenges. He said, “We need to improve in the league, but I’m confident about the match against Juventus. I don’t think it’s too late for the Scudetto. There are few teams within a few points of each other, and we’re evolving as a team.”

Reijnders also spoke about the significance of wearing the number 14 shirt, famously associated with Johan Cruyff. “Wearing Cruyff’s number 14 shirt is very special, and I’m happy in Milan,” he added.
