Dumfries admits Real Madrid’s campus can make you lose your way

Thirty‑year‑old defender Denzel Dumfries attended his first training session as a Real Madrid player today at 20:12, expressing enthusiasm for the upcoming season and delivering a clear message to the Madrid-supporters. He highlighted his readiness to adapt to the club’s high standards and to contribute immediately.

He told Real Madrid’s official channels, “I feel good and after my holiday I am very happy to start.” He added, “I am very honoured to be here.”

Ook, Dumfries noted that the squad of José Mourinho played its first friendly against Leganés on Tuesday 28 July, while he watched from the tribune. For the Dutch international it was his first training day after the World Cup.

When asked about the club’s facilities, he replied, “It is great and so big. You get lost quickly, so they had to help me find everything.”

He said, “The preseason campaign sets the standard you can deliver during the season.” He emphasized, “It is hard work and also getting to know each other; hard work is the most important.”

Dumfries concluded with a direct appeal to the Madrid-supporters, stating, “We are going to have a great season and fight for the objectives.”
