Huijsen Your Seatbelts! The Bernabéu’s Dam is Here! - Bienvenido Dean Huijsen

Thank the lord we didn't miss out on this guy. What a player. Might have better distribution than our midfielders...

 

He needs a better number if he's going to be our starter. I can't go a whole season of watching player #24 take the field. It is cruel but maybe the club should just offer him Alaba's no.4 shirt and see if it doesn't solve two problems at once.

Is this "chill guy" coming from the popular meme? Cause I've seen it mentioned a few times already.

 

IMO he will be our best signing this summer, glad he is RM player

 

I’m on the edge of my seat when this guy has the ball. Class.

Yes, it's his celebration.

 

Just seems everything comes so easy for him. From reading a defense pass to making his own.

He makes everything so much better

 

Impressive. Starter no doubt just need someone near him.. so far tough to understand who it will be. Rudiger probably.

 

What impresses me immensely is his calmness. It's like time slows down when he has the ball. Amazing start to his Real Madrid career!

Couldn't have asked for a better start from the lad

 

His size and mobility..... unreal.

 

Fantastic start. Are we going to allow him to push up more in attack, or is his defensive work too valuable for that?

 

Yeah he is so talented he opens up different ways of how we can play just due to his abilities.

If we have a healthy Rudigier we can let him act like a deep midfielder, recycling possession. We have already seen him basically do that last match. Really opens things up for us where we can function without signing another mid.

 

If we had more depth at CB, it’d be interesting to play three at the back, and have him as a LCB that can push up and attack.

As it is, even playing four at the back, Carreras is pretty big and good at defending for a fullback, so we could see Huijsen make occasional pushes up the middle, with Carreras covering the gap he leaves behind.

 

Honestly we could play 3 CBs with Carreras as LCB Huijsen central and Rudigier RCB. Carreras for me is that sturdy and their first match he started off at LCB.

With this set up Trent at RWB, Rodrygo at LWB, Fede partnering Tchou with Jide in the hole. Vini partnering Mbappe centrally.

Make it happen Xabi.
