Real Madrid defender Dean Hausen appeared at a press conference in the press room, on the sidelines of his presentation as a new player for Real Madrid, with a contract for the next 5 years.

The Spanish defender said: "It is the best day of my life. It is a dream to be here, and I will do my best for the team. I have shown my readiness to help the team. I also want to win titles; I want to win everything as a player, and I have great ambition."

Regarding his acquisition of the number 24 and his choice to move to Real Madrid: "It is the available number, and I am very happy with it. As for the offers from other teams, for me, Real Madrid is the best club in the world, and there is no other team that can match it."

He added: "Did I talk to Xabi Alonso? Yes, we talked a little about what he expects from me, and I think it will be wonderful years together. I believe I fit perfectly with Xabi's playing style. I will try to contribute to the team."

He continued: "Making my debut with my national team is also a dream, and besides that, signing with Real Madrid, the best club ever, is a dream I am living."

About his personality: "I am a somewhat calm person, and in the end, I think I am who I am, and I will live my life and do what I love most of all. I do my best, try to be humble, and work to the best of my ability."

He mentioned: "Sergio Ramos sent me a message on the day of the official announcement; he is my biggest role model, the best center-back in history. I wouldn't choose just one thing, but everything he has; he is also the most complete center-back. My first memory with him was in the 2014 final (the tenth), where Ramos scored his goal at the last moment. I was nine years old, and that is my earliest memory."

About his abilities with the ball: "I believe I am good at playing the ball in addition to defending. I don't think I have done that at a specific club; I have been developing and striving to improve day by day."

He added: "I think there was a lot of talk about my next destination, but I was focused on playing football, and at Bournemouth, I was trying to do my best and finish the season well."

About the call from Mourinho that made him move to Roma: "I was having Christmas dinner with my family when I received the call. When Mourinho calls you, you have to listen. I am forever grateful to him; he is one of the greatest coaches in football history."

He followed: "Does being the most expensive defender at Real Madrid put pressure on you? I don't really care, so to speak; I don't think about it. I try to do my best and focus on playing. I am very calm. I don't think about it much. I do what I love. I am living a dream. I try to do my best."

He concluded: "Who was the first player to welcome you? Some of them sent me messages. They are really nice people. That's all. I hope to meet them soon."
