Real Madrid tends not to promote youth players to the first team, but this season they were forced to do this with Raul Asencio, who has turned out to be a revelation at the Santiago Bernabeu. At the age of 21 he has already brought a regular starting place next to Antonio Rudiger in the center of defense.
Injuries to Eer Militao and David Alaba, who has returned in recent weeks, has led to ASencio that has shot awareness, and when he was calculated by Carlo Ancelotti, he is impressed. That is why he has a sincere opportunity to stay in the first team fold for many years, especially because he is the youngest center back in the team. Not only this, he is able to play right back, and he has done this in recent weeks.
It is not only Real Madrid who are impressed by Asencio, because he also receives recognition from the attitude of the national team. The head coach Luis de la Fuente of Spain, who signed a new contract earlier this week, has focused on him, although he is not eligible for the senior team for the time being – as reported by relevant.
Currently there are a number of Center backs for Asencio, such as Aymeric Laporte, Robin Le Normand, Pau Cubarsi and Dani Vivian. Nevertheless, De la Fuente will keep an eye on him in the coming months, especially if he is able to continue to play first team Football for Real Madrid.
Despite this blow, Asencio is expected to earn a call-up for the U21 team from Spain for the internationals in March, with a view to involved in the U21 European Championship in the summer. There he will compete against people like Crithian Mosquera, Dean Huijsen and Alejandro Frances for a start spot.
