Reijnders says Milan ‘are trying to be positive’ amid struggles: “We are making life difficult” | OneFootball

After the defeat against Torino, Tijjani Reijnders spoke to the media and stated that AC Milan make life very difficult for themselves. Inidivufal mistakes were decisive once again and it’s becoming a real problem for the Rossoneri.

Reijnders scored Milan’s only goal of the game, finding the top corner with a left-footed effort. As it was a 1-1 equaliser, the Rossoneri hoped that it would be the start of a comeback but Torino responded just a few minutes later with the winner.

Speaking to DAZN after the game, as transcribed by MilanNews, Reijnders shared his thoughts on the game and what went wrong for Milan. He echoed what every fan has been saying in the last few weeks: the Rossoneri don’t make life easy for themselves.

It feels like everything that can go wrong, goes wrong for you guys at the moment…

“Yes, at the moment we are making life difficult for ourselves. When you start the match like this you have to come back and equalise. We did so but we gave away a goal straight away. We have to be more mature because otherwise, you complicate your life.”

How is the energy/spirit in the locker room?

“We are trying to be positive, because we still have chances in the league. Now that we are out of the Champions League we are more focused. It is more difficult to stay focused after defeats like this but we must try to build confidence.”

Do you need to be quicker with the ball?

“Yes. If we take too long, it’s easy for the opponent. We have to find the spaces between the lines, because that way we create opportunities. It’s much easier for the opponent to defend if we play slower.”

The Dutchman didn’t have the best of games aside from the goal, missing a big chance and misplacing several passes. He did, however, get a pass in our player ratings (6/10) for the goal and for picking up towards the end.
