Real Madrid Confidencial Raúl Asencio apologizes to Madridists for his mistakes at the World Cup: 'I didn't deliver'
She opens up after everything that happened and has apologized
After falling in the Club World Cup, it's time to take stock of what happened. It's true that we've seen good news like Güler, Huijsen, or Gonzalo, who performed very well. However, on the negative side, it's very likely that everyone will point to Raúl Asencio.
The youth academy player started as a starter, forming a center-back partnership against Al Hilal in the debut. That day, he committed a penalty that Xabi Alonso described as "avoidable", which resulted in the 1-1 equalizer. Things didn't improve in the next match, as he was sent off in the opening minutes.
From there, Rüdiger took his place, but Huijsen's suspension opened the door for him to return to the starting line-up. He could redeem himself against PSG in a match as important as the semifinals. But just the opposite happened, he ended up making a terrible mistake that cost Real Madrid a goal.
Some are already calling for his departure because they believe he hasn't reached the necessary level for the first team. The glaring mistakes he has made have ended up dooming Real Madrid at several moments. Right now, there are many doubts in the club about what to do with the center-back position.
Asencio steps up and apologizes after the World Cup
Asencio didn't want to let any more time pass and sent a message through his social media. He acknowledges that "a season ends in which I've fulfilled the dream of being part of the best club in the world". Although he also points out that "it ended in the way I least desired".
He didn't want to make excuses and has taken responsibility for the mistakes he made, for which he wanted to apologize. "I feel that I haven't been up to the task in a Club World Cup that demanded the maximum," he continued. He said goodbye already looking to the future, thinking about getting back up.
It's clear that he needs a clean slate over the summer to recover his best form. The truth is that Asencio had left very good impressions throughout the season despite his debut. However, his performances in the Club World Cup are increasing doubts about his future.
