The center-back at Bournemouth reflects on his time in yellow-red: “I learned a lot from Mourinho and De Rossi”

Dean Huijsen was first a beacon of hope, then a partial disappointment, and finally an unregretful divorce. The young center-back, born in Holland, transferred this summer to Bournemouth and in an interview with ‘AS’ recounted his journey. And of course, about the stage at Roma:

When you arrived on loan at Roma, your coach was Mourinho: what did he tell you that you needed to improve? “We talked a lot about tactics. Obviously, it was a major leap for me, as I hadn’t previously played much professionally. “I learned a lot from him and De Rossi.”

During your debut at San Siro against Milan, you exhibited the attitude of a leader and won a highly crucial duel against Kalulu. “Have you always had this character? “When I play, I have a lot of confidence in myself. And at my debut, I couldn’t wait to get on the field”. “You scored a goal against Frosinone and silenced the crowd: do you think that incident changed your character?” “They booed me every time I touched the ball. They were angry with me. I scored and liberated myself with that celebration. Would I repeat that action? No, but that’s what I did. “The admonition wasn’t necessary.”

Aside from De Rossi, has anyone else told you anything? “My teammates, as well as the coach, also scolded me.” “But afterwards, they told me there was nothing wrong, and that I needed to learn from what had happened. In the end, I scored a great goal (laughs, editor’s note).” You didn’t provide a text to translate. Please provide the text so I can assist you better.
