Reindes: Football enthusiasm comes from childhood, Cruyff becomes an idol

August 2 Manchester City midfielder Reindes recently revealed his voice and said that he has been full of enthusiasm for football since childhood. Recalling the past, he smiled and said, "When my brother and I were four or five years old, we often played football with each other in the garden. That was the happiest time of our childhood." Reindes' father was Dutch and his mother was from Indonesia. His diverse family background gave him a unique temperament. Indonesian family pays special attention to passing on their humble and low-key qualities. In Reindes' words and deeds, they can always feel this care and consideration.

"In Indonesian culture, family is crucial. Mothers and grandparents have taught us to be humble, not to overestimate ourselves, and to care for those who are not as lucky as us." Reindez said with emotion. Speaking of his father, he said: "My father was a striker or a winger. My mother always said that my running posture on the court was very similar to my father, and on a spiritual level, I was deeply influenced by him. My younger brother also grew up on the football path, and we have many marks left by our father."

At the Twente Youth Training Camp, Reindes systematically learned the basic knowledge of Dutch football. The concept of "all offense and all defense" advocated by Dutch football has long been integrated into his football DNA. "In the Dutch youth training camp, you can quickly understand the key role of ball control, pass, run and tactics in the game. Most Dutch players have kept these ideas in mind since childhood. Like John Cruyff, he is a legend in the history of Dutch football. He has drawn a blueprint for all-off and defense football. The legacy left on the football field is still shining brightly. In Manchester City, you can also see the shadow of this idea. This is also the reason why I chose the No. 14 jersey, which is the number he wore in the club and the national team." Although at Manchester City, Reindes' jersey number has not been determined yet, he can't wait to show his skills in the Premier League. "I have always dreamed of this day. When I was a child, I would always stay in front of TV to watch Premier League highlights. Naturally, I pay special attention to Dutch players who play in the Premier League, especially Robin Van Persie and Dennis Borgkamp. They are superstars of Dutch football. When I was a child, I was imitating them. Now that I can join Manchester City and am about to embark on the Premier League, it is a dream come true." Reindes is full of expectations for his future journey at Manchester City and is eager to prove himself with outstanding performance.
