Pepe's warning about Raúl Asencio that fires up Madridists: 'He...'
The words about Raúl Asencio with which Pepe has made his role for next season clear
One of the biggest revelations for Real Madrid during the season was Raúl Asencio. The youth academy player, who started the campaign with Castilla, saw his situation change completely after the first team's injuries. With very few center-backs available, Real Madrid trusted Raúl Asencio in a debut that exceeded all expectations.
Playing against Osasuna, Asencio managed to show his worth to the team and all the fans. This match was the first of many he ended up playing after earning a spot in Real Madrid's squad. Following this meteoric rise for Asencio, Pepe has issued a clear warning for next season: "He'll help us a lot."

With these words, the legendary Real Madrid center-back made it clear that Asencio has only just begun to develop his great talent. "Raúl Asencio also did very well this season," Pepe added to praise the young center-back whose importance has grown.
The warning about Asencio
Arriving at Real Madrid's youth academy in 2017, Raúl Asencio quickly moved up the ranks. Starting in the youth soccer base, Asencio managed to reach Castilla in 2023, where he began to establish himself as a solid center-back. With great defensive solidity, a strong mentality, and intelligence for decision-making, Asencio managed to make the leap to the first team.
Although this happened due to the need for center-backs, Asencio managed to show he had the level to keep his place at Real Madrid. Pepe's words have proved that Asencio's performance during his breakout season has been more than surprising.

Despite the arrival of another center-back like Dean Huijsen, Pepe has no doubt that Asencio will remain important at Real Madrid. Just beginning to develop in the first team, Asencio has everything needed to become a future leader.
Pepe's trust
Having made history at Real Madrid, Pepe knows perfectly well the type of players the team looks for. Despite Asencio's youth, Pepe's warning has hinted at his trust in the progress the center-back will achieve at Madrid.
