We have been talking for more than a year that a center back who is almost 19 years old has all the conditions to become a real star. He is one of those defenders who wins games from the back as well as from the front. A profile similar to Gerard Pique so we can understand each other.
This is about Dean Huijsenfor whom Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth paid Juventus nearly 16 million to get him out of Italy and into the Premier League last summer. At Juve he had almost no experience in the first team since he arrived from Spain he was in the youth categories and then last year he spent six months on loan in Roma at the express request of Mourinho. The Portuguese were convinced that “He is one of the most talented centre-backs in Europe. Huijsen will one day become a top player”.
Born in Netherlandsgrew up in Marbella being a player Costa Unida CF and Málaga until 2021 when he went to Juventus. Although he played in the U19 of Netherlandshe finally chose to become an international in Spain, where he was called up for the U21 team.
His adaptation to the Premier League
As he did at Roma, he had a hesitant start in the Premier League, which counts for little for Iraola. ”He’s very green,” said those who hadn’t seen him play even two games and were taken by his youthful appearance. However, ‘the boy wonder’ knows how to wait for his moment and even if he sometimes needs to be stronger, he has more passion for his game.
Bournemouth are 8 consecutive Premier games without defeat. In the last seven Huijsen became the starter. A string of early matches started against Tottenham where he scored the only goal of the match. He drained Solanke, for whom Spurs paid 60 million in the summer. And since then he has not left the eleven and it is unlikely that he will leave.
Why do you like it so much? He likes it very much because he rarely loses in a duel. For being a 1.95 m defender who touched them all from above. Able to play in small spaces or in the open field, as he has a stride that allows him to be solvent when crossing. With no ball. With the ball he cuts through the lines by passing or driving, and in attacking corners he always sniffs out where there might be danger. Moreover, she has the gift of beauty. He does it and he does it beautifully. 14 games in the Premier and 2 goals later it is building passions.
