Asensio goes to more

Marco Asensio (25 years old) is back to stay. Since he returned from his long injury, the illusion was triggered with every detail that he left, but it is now when it can be assured without margin for error that the Spaniard has reached the level prior to the knee operation. Not counting the match against Alcoyano, where there was massive rotation, there are seven consecutive starts for the Balearic Islands (six in the League plus the Super Cup).

Against Huesca he resisted the goal (he touched it), but he was once again the most dangerous footballer in the Madrid attack, something that has become the usual trend so far in 2021. It was also the first time in what that goes of League that completed the 90 minutes. Good sign: it's very close to 100% on the physical side. At El Alcoraz he was the player with the white trident who participated the most: 47 passes, 34 of them good (81%). To them we must add three shots and involvement when he had to roll up his sleeves (four recoveries).

It shone once more on the right, its preferred position. His main pending account is to improve his scoring records, because this season luck turns his back on him: He has six shots to the sticks and only two goals. He has also distributed two assists.

His current form is the best news for Zidane before the plague of injuries suffered by the team, because without Hazard Madrid clings to Asensio in the face of the vital cross against Atalanta in the Champions …

Eurocup

When he was injured in the summer of 2019, a goal quickly came to Asensio's mind: to be in time for the 2020 Euro Cup. The deadlines were tight, but it was possible. Finally, the postponement will allow you to arrive in an optimal state of form. Luis Enrique has him and he has been an important piece in the recovery of the Balearic Islands. The Asturian was always very aware of him during his months off the pitch, aware that the emotional aspect plays an important role in such a long recovery. Now, the Balearic has regained his place in the Spanish National Team (with which he has already played 26 games in his career) and will be a fixture for the coach at the Euro Cup next summer.
