Manchester City Manager Pep Guardiola said Tijjani Reijnders as “special player” after the Dutch international marked a 3-0 victory over Palermo in Sicily.
The midfielder, an arrival of £ 46 million from AC Milan this summer, impressed the bench and Twice found the network after Erling Haaland’s first opening.
Reijnders, who was appointed best midfielder in the series in 2024/25, is comfortable who operates from a deeper role in the city’s engine room, but it is the 27 -year -old talent that seems to have impressed his new manager.
“We knew he (Reijnders) is a special player arriving at La Caixa. He loves to do it,” said Guardiola.
“The people of Italy know him perfectly. He scored two goals and made a great performance like the rest of his teammates.
“You can play as a midfielder, but he loves to reach the box to help our forwards like Erling and Omar and anyone who plays. We are very pleased.”
Faced with the start of the new Premier League season next weekend, when City travels to Wolves, Guardiola was also full of praise for the other two main signings of the club during this transfer window.
The head of the city added: “The three signings we have made before the Club World Cup were really good: (Rayan) Cherki, (Rayan) Ait Nouri and Him (Reijnders).
“The same with Khusanov in January. Today he showed his potential and is one of the fastest players I have seen.
“We did not play a lot of games, we have trained well, but now we will return to Manchester, we will try to have a good week and prepare the games.”
