Real Madrid Confidencial The best in Real Madrid, neither Courtois nor Güler, Xabi congratulated him as soon as he saw him.
Real Madrid's coach showered one of its players with praise for his performance
Real Madrid beat CF Pachuca 3-1 in the second match of the Club World Cup group stage. The match was marked by Raúl Asencio's sending off before the tenth minute, which put the white team at a disadvantage. However, goals from Bellingham, Güler, and Valverde gave Xabi Alonso's pupils all three points.
However, there's a footballer who could receive all the praise from Madridists and even Xabi Alonso himself. We're talking about Dean Huijsen, the young center-back from Real Madrid who seems to have been playing with the white team for a decade.
Dean Huijsen, Real Madrid's great signing
Raúl Asencio's sending off exposed Real Madrid even more, as it was struggling against Pachuca. However, Huijsen showed why the white team bet on him as one of the pillars of the team for the future.
The Spain international stood tall and excelled, just as he did against Al-Hilal, both with and without the ball. He won almost every defensive duel, broke through pressure lines with great verticality, and frustrated the Mexican team's attack. Salomón Rondón, who caused Raúl Asencio's red card, couldn't get past him.
DAZN commentators heap praise on Dean Huijsen
In addition to Xabi Alonso's congratulations, who approached the young footballer as soon as the match ended, the defender has earned praise from many personalities.
"He doesn't feel the pressure. We always talk about adaptation, about how difficult it is to arrive at a club like Real Madrid, but the feeling is that he plays as if he doesn't feel it," said Alberto Edjogo.
"How quickly he's adapted and how little effort it seems to take him. Playing forward passes, breaking through pressure, carrying the ball, being clean in duels... sensational adaptation," he explained.
It's worth remembering that Dean Huijsen has played only two matches with the Madrid team and is 20 years old. If he keeps this up, Real Madrid has a center-back for many years to come. Without a doubt, one of the greatest prospects today.
