Huijsen: "It's the best day of my life, it's a dream to be here"

Dean Huijsen appeared before the media in the press room at Real Madrid City after being presented as a new Real Madrid player. The defender, who was accompanied by the Director of Institutional Relations, Emilio Butragueño, said: "It's the best day of my life. For me, it's a dream to be here, and I'm going to give everything for the team."
"I chose the number 24 because it was available, and I'm very happy to have it. With regard to offers from other teams, for me, Real Madrid is the best club in the world, and there is no other team like it."
Talks with Xabi Alonso
"We talked a little about what he expects from me. I think it's going to be a great few years."
What can you bring to this team?
"I think I fit in very well with the style of football Xabi wants to play. I'm going to try to contribute as much as I can, and I'll be delighted to help."
What you've experienced in the last six months
"Making my debut for my country is also a dream come true. Apart from that, I've signed for the best club there is. What I'm experiencing is a dream."
Ambition
"I think I've shown that I'm ready. I'm here to help and to win titles. I want to win everything as a player. I'm very ambitious."
What is Huijsen like?
"I'm pretty calm. I live my life doing what I love, I give everything, I try to be humble and work as hard as I can."
Sergio Ramos
"He sent me a message on the day my signing was made official. He's my biggest idol, the best centre-back in history. I admire everything about him, he's the most complete centre-back. My first fond memory is the final of the Décima, when he scored in the last minute of added time. I was nine years old."
His passing
"It's a quality I have, apart from defending. I didn't learn it at any particular club; I've evolved and tried to improve it every day."
On the rumours about his signing
"There was a lot of talk, but I was focused on playing football at Bournemouth and finishing the season strongly."
Mourinho's call to join Roma
"I was at Christmas dinner with my family when Mourinho called. When he calls, you have to listen. He's one of the greatest in the history of football, and I'm very grateful to him."
The figures involved in your transfer
"I don't really care. I don't think about that. I try to give my all and help the team in any way I can."
What do you need to work on?
"Everything can be improved, and that's what I work on every day."
Congratulations from his new teammates
"A couple of them sent me messages. I think it's a good team with great people. I want to get to know them soon."
Will he be able to handle the pressure?
"You'll see me play, I'm pretty calm. I'm doing what I love and living a dream."
On Julián Araújo, his former teammate at Bournemouth
"He's a good friend of mine. We've spoken and had a good time together."
Butragueño: "You're now part of the great Real Madrid family"
"Today is a very special day for you and your family. Your dream of becoming a Real Madrid player has come true. Everyone at the club welcomes you and wishes you all the best in this new adventure. You're now part of the great Real Madrid family."
