Regel: Inter Milan is good at seizing opportunities, but we are not hopeless

Hupu September 18th News Reiger expressed his annoyance that Ajax lost 0-2 to Inter Milan in his first Champions League match.

"Inter Milan is a team that is good at seizing opportunities. The first corner kick in the second half directly led to the loss of the ball. We must learn from it as soon as possible because we know that mistakes at this level will be punished."

Despite losing 0-2 at home, Regel does not think that Ajax has no power to fight back against this Italian giant. “We never felt like there was no chance on the court, we had shown in the first half that we could play good football, too,” the Champions League rookie said after the game. "We can continue to work hard on the first half, and in the first half of the hour, we can really compete with Inter Milan."

Reiger was reused by head coach John Heatinga and was once again in the midfield, and last season Farioli used him mainly as the right back. “It’s an interesting topic for the media,” Regel said in his answer to the question of whether he was a defender or a midfielder. "I have been playing midfield in the last few games, and the coach has made it clear that he regards me as a midfielder."
