Reijnders Dazzles in Man City Debut…
Tijjani Reijnders’ debut performance was hailed as ‘absolutely sensational’ by former Newcastle and England captain Alan Shearer. He even called Reijnders an ‘absolute nightmare to play against,’ likely causing the Wolves midfield to collectively hide behind the coach in fear. With his relentless running at Molineux, the Brazilian duo Andre and Joao Gomes might spend the season dreaming of a midfield opponent less terrifying, perhaps like a garden gnome. Shearer praised the performance as ‘perfect,’ showing Reijnders has set a sky-high bar for the rest of the year.
After joining City, Director of Football Hugo Viana promised Reijnders would improve under Pep Guardiola’s guidance. Judging by his opening display, Hugo may need to start selling magic wands to explain Reijnders’ rapid rise. He scored a goal and assisted another, making sure any jitters over replacing Kevin De Bruyne were batted away like an overconfident mosquito. Former Manchester United and England captain Wayne Rooney also chimed in, marveling at City’s energy, as if they’d replaced their water bottles with jet fuel. It looks like Reijnders is already the heart of City’s future.
