Real Madrid Confidencial Maldini's reaction to Dean Huijsen's outstanding match: he sums it up in one word
The well-known journalist shared his opinion about Dean Huijsen's outstanding performance against Pachuca
Real Madrid defeated CF Pachuca (3-1) in the team's second match at the Club World Cup. The match was marked by Raúl Asencio's sending off before the tenth minute, which put the team at a disadvantage. Despite playing with ten men, goals from Bellingham, Güler, and Valverde gave Xabi Alonso's boys all three points.
However, there is a footballer who could receive all the praise from Madridists and even from Xabi Alonso himself. We are referring to Dean Huijsen, the young center-back from Real Madrid who seems to have been playing with the team for many years.
Dean Huijsen's outstanding match with Real Madrid
The red card to Raúl Asencio exposed Real Madrid even more, as they were already struggling against CF Pachuca. However, Huijsen showed why the team chose him as one of the pillars for its future.
The Spanish-Dutchman 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 provoked Raúl Asencio's red card, couldn't get past him.
Julio "Maldini"'s message about Dean Huijsen
"Huijsen puts on a show every match. Incredible," commented Julio "Maldini" on social media. The journalist didn't hide his admiration for the Madridist defender.
In addition to the well-known journalist, others like Alberto Edjogo also praised the Real Madrid defender's abilities. "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 he gives is that he plays as if it doesn't weigh on him," he commented.
"How quickly he's adapted and how little effort it seems to take him. Making forward passes, breaking pressure, carrying the ball, being clean in duels... sensational adaptation," he added.
It should be noted that Dean Huijsen has played only two matches with Real Madrid and is 20 years old. If he keeps this up, the club has a center-back for many years to come. Without a doubt, one of the greatest football promises is at Bernabéu.
