Real Madrid player who's training with Castilla in Marbella makes surprise visit

While the players are enjoying their vacations, Real Madrid is preparing for the season. Castilla, under the orders of Álvaro Arbeloa, is training in Marbella. With the clear goal of improving its performance from last season, Castilla received the surprising visit of Dean Huijsen.

Real Madrid's center-back, instead of relaxing, chose to visit the club's future stars. Even though he is not a Real Madrid youth academy product, this did not matter to Huijsen when making his visit. This kind of gesture shows not only what a great footballer Huijsen is, but also what a great person he is for taking the time to visit the young stars.

Ramón Álvarez de Mon, a contributor to Defensa Central's YouTube channel, posted a picture on his X account of this great moment. In it, Huijsen can be seen extremely happy and hugging a smiling Arbeloa.

The connection with the youth academy

In what will be his debut season with Real Madrid, Dean Huijsen is more than ready to start. His performance during the Club World Cup earned him a spot as one of the starting center-backs under Xabi Alonso's command. According to what we know at Defensa Central, the Basque coach ended up delighted with the center-back's level.

Despite being only 20 years old, Huijsen's influence in the backline is remarkable. The only match he could not play ended in defeat due to clear defensive errors. After falling just short of the grand final, Huijsen realized the importance of his absence.

His presence in Marbella with Castilla showed his determination to have a great season. The first team, for now, has not started its training sessions yet. However, this did not stop Huijsen from being able to train.

Dean Huijsen's commitment

Fully aware of the lack of titles last season, Dean Huijsen is looking to help Real Madrid sweep all its rivals. Although the club has made several exciting signings, the reality is that Dean Huijsen is the one who has caused the most excitement.
