“I don’t care,” Huijsen said at his presentation. “I’m quite calm. I am me and I am going to live my life and I do what I like most. Madrid is the club of my life.
“I wanted to be here from the first day; once Real Madrid called, I didn’t have eyes for any other teams.
“For me, Real Madrid is the best club in the world and there is no other club when they appear.”
