Not least because nothing did. “I’m quite calm,” he said. “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 think,” Huijsen had said when he stepped on to the stage in the basketball arena, tapped the mic and asked: “Can you hear me?” The son of Dutch footballer Donny Huijsen, who was sitting in the front row with Huijsen’s mother Mascha Wijsmuller. The family moved to southern Spain when Dean was five and it was Málaga he was mad about as a boy, although he said here that Serg...
