Marco Asensio is one of the good surprises of the season for Real Madrid supporters. The 21-year-old Spanish player is making a great season debut with Los Blancos and he has won Zidane’s confidence in these first months. Now that the season is coming to an end, the winger said that he would like to continue playing with the white t-shirt.
The Spanish national team Under 21 played on Monday a friendly game at Olimpico de Roma against Italy U-21. Spain won 1-2 that game and Marco Asensio was one of the best players of the game, although he couldn’t score. After the game he spoke with the press about the relationship with Zinedine Zidane: “He speaks a lot with me, he trusts me and I feel valued”, Asensio said.
There are a lot of competitors in his role as a winger because Isco or James Rodríguez could also play there. Despite this situation, Asensio would like to continue in the Spanish capital: “I want to be successful at Real Madrid, so my intention is to stay and continue here”, Asensio affirmed.
The youngster also spoke about his team-mate Isco Alarcón, who has been linked with Barcelona but he’s now very close to sign a deal with Real Madrid: “He has a lot of talent and I’d rather he staying in the club”, Asensio despite fighting with him for a place in the starting eleven.
In his first season with Real Madrid, Asensio has played 15 games in La Liga, only 6 from the beginning, and he has scored 3 goals. Besides, he has been able to score in the European Supercup, Copa del Rey or Champions League in his first season with Los Blancos. Last year, he played on loan with Espanyol, with 34 appearances and 4 goals in the whole season in La Liga.
