De la Fuente's decision to omit Huijsen from his 26-man World Cup party had dealt a painful blow to the central defender. Speaking to reporters in the mixed zone after the final whistle, Huijsen said: "It was quite tough for me. In the end, it was a very sad moment for me and my family. The important thing is to be back, and we have to focus on the positives."
