🗣️ Dean Huijsen: “Will I be the happiest man in the world on June 2? Could be, honestly, though my dad is even happier (laughs).” 🗣️ Dean Huijsen: “I don’t think I’ve fully grasped my reality yet. But I'm here at Real Madrid…” 🗣️ Dean Huijsen: “My plan was to spend 2 years at Bournemouth and grow. But everything moved really fast.” 🗣️ Dean Huijsen: “Real Madrid paying €58M for me? It doesn’t affect me. The fee they paid was simply my release clause.” 🗣️ Dean Huijsen: “Xabi Alonso? We talked a little about the team and what he had in mind, and the project. We want to start winning again, and we’re sure we will. I think I'm a center back with good footwork, he wants me to help the team when getting the ball out.” 🗣️ Dean Huijsen: “Did Xabi Alonso go into detail on the plan? That’s private. You’ll see on the pitch.” 🗣️ Dean Huijsen: “I want to play with the best players. Mbappé Vini Jr, Rodrygo, and Bellingham, all of those in attack, are some of the best there is.” 🗣️ Dean Huijsen: “I only knew Asencio personally, but I’m looking forward to seeing everyone. Six or seven have already texted and welcomed me.” 🗣️ Dean Huijsen: “I’m grateful to everyone who made my transfer to Real Madrid possible. I thank Florentino, the sporting directors, and everyone involved. I’m delighted.” 🗣️ Dean Huijsen: “My idol is Sergio Ramos. I aspire to be like him.” 🗣️ Dean Huijsen: “My debut vs. the Netherlands? I heard insults during warm-up. Then boos… but I expected it. It motivated me even more.” 🗣️ Dean Huijsen: “My number in Madrid? At Bournemouth, 2 was pretty much the only number left. And I wear 12 for Spain. It’s not something I worry about. We’ll see what number I get.” Q: “You speak four languages, what’s the one you use the most?” 🗣️ Dean Huijsen: “Spanish.” Q: “How do you say that you’re happy to play for Real Madrid in Dutch?” 🗣️ Dean Huijsen: “Hala Madrid. This is for all languages (smiles).” #diarioas
