Dean Huijsen took center stage at the press conference ahead of Real Madrid‘s highly anticipated clash against Liverpool tomorrow night. The young defender expressed his excitement about being in Madrid, stating, “Mentally, I am doing very well. I am very happy; this is my dream, and I hope to bring a lot of joy to the Madrid supporters.”
As Real Madrid gears up to face Liverpool in a crucial match, Huijsen’s confidence radiates. The team is eager to secure all three points against the Reds, who are known for their formidable home advantage at Anfield. “We are really looking forward to playing this match; we hope to do our best and win,” he added, highlighting the team’s competitive spirit.
Facing the Anfield Challenge
The pressure of playing at Anfield is often daunting for many players, but Huijsen remains unfazed. Having previously played there, he remarked, “For me, having played here before, it won’t be a problem. It’s just a football pitch. It’s the players who make the difference.” He further expressed a preference for training at Real Madrid’s facilities over playing in hostile environments.
On Team Dynamics and Personal Growth
When discussing his relationship with fellow defender Éder Militão, Huijsen praised his teammate’s abilities both on and off the pitch. “He’s a very complete central defender, and off the field, he’s also a really nice guy. We get along well together,” he said, emphasizing the importance of camaraderie within the squad.
Additionally, Huijsen commented on Kylian Mbappé’s remarkable form. “If he won the Golden Shoe, it means he was in great shape last year. We are very happy to have him,” he noted, reflecting on how crucial Mbappé is to their attacking strategy.
The young defender also addressed recent controversies surrounding Vinicius Jr., stating, “The media made a big deal out of something that wasn’t so serious. He apologized, which seems fair to me. Such things happen in football.” His perspective shows an understanding of the pressures players face off the pitch.
Huijsen’s development has been shaped by his time in Italy, where he honed his defensive skills with Juventus and Roma. “I learned a lot about defending there and am very grateful to both clubs. They decided to let me go, but I cherish my time there,” he reflected on his journey leading to this moment.
Choosing Real Madrid was a dream come true for Huijsen as he stated, “I wanted to play for the best team in the world. I believe I fit well with Xabi’s vision and the club’s project. I am very happy to be here.” His commitment to contributing positively to the team is evident as he adds value through his ball distribution skills. “I think I’m good at that; I try to help the team as much as possible,” he concluded.
As Real Madrid prepares for this pivotal encounter against Liverpool, all eyes will be on Huijsen and his ability to make an impact on the pitch.
