Huijsen: "We keep improving as a team and we're on a good streak"
"I didn’t think it was a red card; he stopped a play, and it wasn’t aggression," commented the defender on Valverde’s red card.
Dean Huijsen started in the victory of our team against Atlético at the Bernabéu. After the match, he spoke to the media: "It was a very important game for us. We knew that if we wanted to compete in LaLiga we had to win this match, and we did. Personally, I’m very happy. As a team, we are improving a lot and we're on a good streak. We’ll keep working and moving forward like this."
Valverde’s red card
"I didn’t think it was a red card. I believe he stopped the play, and it was just a yellow, nothing more. He didn’t hit with his studs or hit hard. It’s not aggression; he stopped a play, and that’s all. Just like, for instance, a shirt grab is a yellow."
The team’s good form
"We’ve had many changes: we’ve changed the coach, we have new players, and we want to play with different systems. It’s normal, the adaptation we’re going through is good, and we’re working every day towards that. We’re very happy that things are going well."
Where does the change lie?
"All teams need an adaptation period, and that’s how it has been."
Vini Jr.’s match
"A very good game. He scored two goals. He converted a penalty and scored a great goal. He’s motivated in every match. He works very hard as well, and I’m very happy for him and for us because we won."
