Tonight, Spain face Portugal in the UEFA Nations League final. This match is generating great anticipation, as Luis de la Fuente's national team has the opportunity to add another major title. In this match, the focus is on the regulars and on one of La Roja's new additions: Dean Huijsen, Real Madrid's signing.
Huijsen: The young talent from Madrid
The center-back has made a great impression both at the Madrid club and with the Spanish national team. With his great talent, Dean Huijsen has shown he's a player with enormous potential, and that's why Luis de la Fuente has called him up for this major event. With just a few months at the club, he's made it clear that he has what it takes to stand out at the international level.
Luis de la Fuente's praise
Luis de la Fuente hasn't held back in his praise for the young defender. Spain's coach highlighted Huijsen's virtues, both as a footballer and as a person.
"He's a boy we've been following for a long time, I always ask for opportunities and continuity for young players with talent. He's shown footballing and personal maturity. He has exceptional physical and technical qualities, and the best thing is that pressure doesn't get to him, they're chosen players, for more than a decade."
These words from Luis de la Fuente reflect the great respect he has for the footballer and the high expectations surrounding him.
A promising future at Real Madrid
Dean Huijsen's signing by Real Madrid marks the beginning of a long-term project. With Xabi Alonso's vision as the new head of the youth academy, the club sees him as a key piece for the coming years.
He stands out not only for his maturity on the field, but also for his composure under the pressure of playing for Madrid and the Spanish national team. Merengue fans have high hopes that Huijsen will be one of the defensive pillars of the future.
Real Madrid have placed all their trust in Huijsen, which is reflected in the way they've integrated him into the team. The maturity he's shown, despite his youth, is one of the main reasons why the club signed him.
As Xabi Alonso begins to shape the team's future, Huijsen's presence will be essential. With his ability to read the game and his great physical capacity, the young defender has all the ingredients to become a key figure for Real Madrid.
