Real Madrid Confidencial Davide Has Warned Ancelotti About Asensio, What Happened at Villamarín Won't Happen Again
The center-back will be a starter against Atlético de Madrid and has earned the status of being undisputed in the defense
David Has Warned Ancelotti About Raúl Asencio, What Happened at Benito Villamarín Won't Happen Again
Raúl Asencio Has Become a Pillar for Real Madrid. At just 22 years old, the youth player has played 26 matches with the first team, and his importance is undeniable.
In the Betis-Real Madrid Match, He Was a Substitute. However, His Absence Was Felt. In the last three matches where he hasn't been a starter, the team has lost.
A Necessary Rest
Ancelotti Decided to Give Him a Break. The Center-Back Suffered a Serious Incident in San Sebastián. At the Reale Arena, he was wished death from the stands during the Copa del Rey.
The Coach Wanted to Protect Him and Also Reserve Him for the Champions Derby Against Atlético.
Madrid Bet on Rüdiger and Alaba at Villamarín. But the defense wasn't solid.
Rüdiger Committed a Penalty That Cost the Team the Defeat. Alaba Still Hasn't Recovered His Best Form.
Betis Created Danger, and Madrid Missed Asencio.
Asencio, Key in Recent Defeats
In the Last League Defeat, He Also Started on the Bench. He Had to Come On Due to Rüdiger's Injury in Cornellà.
Espanyol Scored the 1-0 Goal in the Final Stretch. Once Again, Madrid Lost Without Asencio Starting.
In the Spanish Super Cup, the Story Repeated Itself. Asencio Came On in the 52nd Minute, When Barça Was Already Winning 4-0.
With Him on the Field, the Team Improved in Defense and Didn't Concede More Goals.
Starter Against Atlético
Until the Copa Match in San Sebastián, Asencio Had Been Indisputable. He Played Six Consecutive Matches as a Starter and Completed the Full 90 Minutes in All.
Madrid Only Kept a Clean Sheet in One of Those Matches. However, They Showed a More Solid Defense.
They Faced Teams Like Manchester City and Atlético, Conceding Only Seven Goals in That Period.
Now, in a Decisive March, Madrid Needs His Best Version.
He Rested at Villamarín and Has Recovered Energy. Ancelotti Will Line Him Up Alongside Rüdiger to Stop Atlético.
The Confidence in Asencio Is Total. His Leadership in Defense Will Be Key in This Stage of the Season.
