Despite his current injury, Dani Carvajal continues to play a leading role at Real Madrid. Although he is struggling physically, he maintains contact with his teammates and closely monitors their progress, remaining a positive role model. However, his main concern is the precarious situation of several players facing significant criticism, most notably Dean Huijsen.
The young Spanish player, who joined Real Madrid this summer in a record-breaking deal worth around €60 million, made a strong start that impressed everyone. He delivered outstanding performances early in the season and was one of the standout new arrivals, particularly in the opening matches where he demonstrated rapid adaptation and impressive form.

However, despite this promising start, Huijsen’s performances have declined sharply in crucial matches, leading to harsh criticism following defeats against Atlético Madrid and Liverpool. His inconsistency has become a growing concern for the coaching staff, especially after his substitution in the second half of the Rayo Vallecano match, which was a clear sign from Xabi Alonso of his dissatisfaction with the player’s form.
In those difficult moments, Carvajal has been the closest to supporting his teammate. As reported, Huijsen found himself in a tough emotional state in the dressing room after a series of mistakes that impacted the team’s performance. Despite his own injury, Carvajal made the decision to be by his side, lifting his spirits and trying to calm him down.
Now, Huijsen is eager to return to his usual form in upcoming matches, particularly with the Spain national team during the international break. As Real Madrid continues to work toward tactical stability, the key question remains: will Huijsen regain his confidence and prove that he deserves his place in the starting lineup?
