Asenjo celebrates its defensive safety and goals to zero

Sergio Asenjo, Villarreal goalkeeper, has been happy to keep his goal to zero two consecutive games. Something that the team could not achieve since the fourth and fifth day, back in September. A record that the goalkeeper ensures is given by “good defensive work and what has been done in training.” In addition, the yellow goalkeeper is already the goalkeeper with more goals to zero in the club, surpassing the previous record of Diego López. Asenjo already has 69 games without receiving a goal after having defended the yellow goal in 205 games, which means remaining undefeated in 33% of those games. A figure that improves Diego López's 67 games unbeaten in 230 games, and Pepe Reina's 54 games unbeaten in 147 games.

A record that Asenjo recognizes is the fruit of being “seven years in the club”, although he hopes to “continue much longer and keep improving records”.

Defensive security:
“Defensive security is being vital, before the break it seemed that we had lost that security, so we have worked these days to recover it and resume that security in the field.”

Zero goal registration:
“There are seven seasons here, I feel part of the family, and hopefully there will be many more. I think it is an important figure and I hope that it will increase in the coming seasons in many more ”.

Good league start:
“We have started very well and I think the preparation has been very good, something that is being seen in these first two games. In Vigo in a complicated field and a major rival, and with Mallorca, a team that played a lot and that has complicated us until the end.

Next match in Granada:
“We are going step by step, it is time to recover, since we have little time and it will be difficult. Granada are having a great season, they are fighting for the top positions, so each team will put up their weapons to take the game ”.
