Spanish La Liga NewsMarco Asensio is going into the best shape possible

If it weren’t for some bad lines drawn by the VAR in the Clásico of the League, Marco Asensio would have allowed Madrid to stay alive in the national competition. However, the disallowed goal has once again put the Spaniard under the spotlight and the last few games have reminded Real Madrid, and Carlo Ancelotti, that there is an extraordinary footballer in the squad. I use this adjective very consciously because Asensio does not fall within the ordinary, the usual, the normal.

 

Defining the form of Marco Asensio

It is very difficult to define it. He has the talent of an essential starter, but he is criticized for the lack of consistency that usually defines a substitute. He scores fabulous and decisive goals, but he doesn’t beat himself up in training like the best do. He feels Madrid in his heart like few others, but he does not sacrifice himself for it. Asensio is a complex player to understand but a player who seems essential to this team.

 

Champions League in his blood

Because a Champions League quarterfinal, even against a slightly lost Chelsea, cannot be won solely with the starting eleven and everything suggests that what the English call ‘coaching’ will be decisive. For Carletto, having Asensio on the bench represents a huge advantage, a weapon that can be used in any type of situation. Because, for opponents too, the Majorcan is difficult to understand. And to counter.
