Asencio Receives a Last-minute Message from Real Madrid for the Next Game

One of the players who's definitely built a large fan base is the youth academy product Raúl Asencio. A player who had the opportunity to debut this season after being drafted against Osasuna, where he had a great game. He's now become one of the central defense references for Madrid.

However, Ancelotti seems to have completely opted to desist from this player due to Aurélien Tchouaméni's return from injury. However, it seems he's now received a last-minute message confirming him for the Copa game against Deportiva Minera. Obviously, this is great news for the player, who will now have minutes in the first team again. 

For many fans, this decision is more than right, since, despite being a minor game, it remains important. Nonetheless, for him to have more minutes, it'll be vital to demonstrate the level Madrid needs. 

One more opportunity

The Meringue player has shown in the few minutes he's had a decisiveness that few players have been able to display at a young age. However, despite all this, it doesn't seem to be enough for Ancelotti to opt for him indefinitely. 

Therefore, this match against the lower division team will have to be important to demonstrate once again his significance. Although, for some, it might not be the trial by fire some expected for a player of this profile.

The most important thing now is that he can have assured minutes for the remainder of the season to continue progressing. Additionally, in case there's a change of coach, this might benefit him for the next season.

He must shine this Monday

Even though it's a match against a lower division team, he must give his best to show what he's made of. An incentive for Ancelotti to keep using him in the coming months and thus see him more often in the starting eleven of the white club.
