Milan midfielder Tijjani Reijnders has revealed that he prefers playing the box-to-box role in the heart of the Milan midfield, but has admitted that he is willing to play as a holder, or even as a trequartista if coach Paulo Fonseca decides that is what the team needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reijnders joined his coach, Fonseca, for the pre-match press conference ahead of the Champions League fixture between Milan and Club Brugge on Tuesday evening.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Fonseca has already confirmed his starting XI, including Reijnders as the advanced midfielder with Youssouf Fofana and Ruben Loftus-Cheek behind him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dutchman will play against Brugge, but will be suspended for the Serie A trip to Bologna at the weekend after his first-half red card during the 1-0 win over Udinese on Saturday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He stressed the importance of keeping the discipline on the pitch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very important not to be left with 10 men like we were on Saturday. I have to be very careful, there\u2019s always a risk when you make contact,\u201d Reijnders said, reported via TMW.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He also explained what sort of player he hopes to become under Fonseca: \u201cIt\u2019s very important for me to be a decisive player, making assists, scoring goals. That helps us to decide matches. We played well against Udinese, even though I was sent off.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reijnders then revealed which role he prefers to play within the Rossoneri midfield.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a box-to-box player, I move from one position into another. I\u2019ve played in all the midfield roles. Number eight is my ideal role, but that doesn\u2019t mean that I can\u2019t play as a six or a 10, it\u2019s not a problem for me. It\u2019s Mister Fonsea who decides where he needs me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI want to become an important player in terms of goals and assists.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
