Milan, 10 June (LaPresse) – ‘Obviously, it's the best day of my life. It's a dream to be here. I'll give everything for the team.’ This is how Dean Huijsen introduced himself as Real Madrid's new player. The Spanish-Dutch defender, Juventus' transfer target, chose the number 24 shirt because ‘it was available. Real Madrid is the best club in the world and there is no other like it,’ he added. Huijsen said he had already spoken to coach Xabi Alonso. "Yes, we spoke a little. About what he expects from me. I think these will be fantastic years. I feel very comfortable with Xabi's style of football. I will try to contribute to the team and do everything I can to help, I'm happy," he said. Huijsen says he is aware of Real's needs and the team's objectives. ‘I think I've shown that I'm ready. Whatever I can do, I'm here. And the demands are clear: I want to win everything. I'm very ambitious. The pressure? I focus on the game. I'm pretty calm. I don't think about it too much. I do what I love. I'm living a dream. I try to give my all,’ he concluded.
