Surprise: Asencio May Return to the Eleven against Pachuca but Not as Central Defender

The white team has a very important game against Pachuca of México this coming Wednesday. This is due to the recent reissue of the Intercontinental Cup which is once again an official tournament. But it seems that what is most surprising of all is that the possibility of seeing Raúl Asencio again in the Meringue defense is becoming more and more a reality.

The white team's last few training sessions have had the particularity of a forceful change by Ancelotti. He has put the academy player as a right wing to try to give him minutes in this sector instead of Lucas Vázquez. Something that, of course, if it works could be very beneficial for what Madrid needs.

However, this doesn't guarantee that we will see him start in this important game for a title. But it will surely be an opportunity to see him developing in another position as well.

Asencio returns to the team

The Real Madrid academy player has shown on several occasions that he has the necessary qualities to be able to play minutes in the first team. This is thanks to his strength, but above all, his determination in every game in which he is available.

Now, with the obvious defensive lapses by Lucas Vázquez, he may have the chance to play minutes in this game. The Pachuca team from Mexico finished second to last in the league table. Therefore, they don't represent a major threat to the Merengues, at least on paper.

At this moment, it could be the perfect opportunity to regain some of the confidence that the Italian coach had in him just a few months ago. In addition, the Real Madrid fans enjoy every opportunity that this player can play minutes with their team.

An important meeting

Although on the surface this team has no chance against Real Madrid, the reality is very different on the field. Therefore, despite it seeming like an easy match, they have to put all their effort and concentration into taking the victory.
