Dean Huijsen, scorer of a great goal that ended up worthless, reveals what he said to the referee in the tunnel
Dean Huijsen (20) put in a good performance yesterday in Spain's victory over France (5-4), which qualified La Roja for the Nations League final that they will play this Sunday against Portugal that eliminated Germany. Although De la Fuente's men ended up conceding four goals, the work of the Real Madrid centre-back was commendable.
Asked on 'El Partidazo' (Cope) about what it will be like to face Cristiano Ronaldo, scorer of the goal that put the Portuguese in the final, Huijsen said that "for me he is one of the best in history, for every child, for every young person who plays against Cristiano Ronaldo it is like a dream to play against him. Let's see if I can stop him."
The national coach, Luis de la Fuente, praised the former Bournemouth centre-back after the match. And the footballer, asked by the journalist how those compliments feel to him, he commented: "Have you seen me badly? Well, that's what the coach will see and that's why he'll trust me."
Finally, he spoke about the great goal he scored against France but that ended up being disallowed for a very fair offside. "At half-time I joked with the referee and told him... f*ck, you can't disallow a goal like that! He told me that it was offside by very little. A shame."
