Huijsen: "We needed a win like this"
"We're pleased to win and we have to keep working like this," said the defender.
Dean Huijsen analysed Real Madrid’s thumping win over Monaco at the Bernabéu: “We're pleased with this victory. We played very well as a team and we are showing positive signs. We needed a win like this. Today we defended high up, won balls back and scored a few goals that way. Now we have to keep working."
Bellingham and Vini Jr.
"They're important players for us. We knew we were coming off a bad run. It's important for us that they score goals and we're happy about that.”
Injuries
“I've had a lot of injuries but now I think I feel good physically. I've been injured for two or three months and I couldn't sprint well. I'm happy to be feeling good. The level I've been giving wasn't my level and I think today I've given the level and I have to continue like that.”
How have the injuries affected him mentally?
"Nobody likes being injured. It's tough. I had never been injured before and it was something new. I would come back from one injury, then another and then another. Now I can finally say I'm fine. We're going to keep going.”
Partnership in the centre-back position
"We've been a bit unlucky with injuries at the back. It's not difficult for me to play with any of them because they are great players and we all understand each other very well."
