Recruited this summer by Paris Saint-Germain, Marco Asensio did not play a single minute during the match against Toulouse (1-1). And the Spanish press to sound the alarm. Already.
This summer, Paris Saint-Germain took advantage of a market opportunity by signing Marco Asensio. Free since the end of his contract with Real Madrid, the Spanish international took over the management of the French club knowing that the competition was going to be tough. The first few weeks were encouraging for him, his coach regularly fielding him during the preparation matches. Luis Enrique started him again in the first Ligue 1 match against Lorient (1-1). But on Saturday against Toulouse, Asensio was not allowed a single second of play. Something to worry the Spanish press.
Tuesday is AS who said his concern for the Spaniard. The fact that Enrique prefers Kang-in Lee was not fully understood by the media who nevertheless saw in this match in Toulouse “ an ideal situation for Asensio to have playing time“. And for the rest, confidence is not really there. ” Asensio will have a hard time establishing himself as a starter in Paris“, thus estimated AS. The possible arrivals of Randal Kolo Muani and Bradley Barcola, even if their profiles are different from that of Marco Asensio, worry the media all the more.
Coach’s confidence
In the meantime, the Spaniard will have to continue working to earn his place (or at least some playing time) in a particularly congested offensive sector. Physical Ligue 1 football will also be a variable to consider for the player. However, Marco Asensio is far from having lost the confidence of a Luis Enrique who is certainly counting on him this season and should not hesitate to align him or bring him in as soon as the need arises. Perhaps as of Sunday during the shock against RC Lens on the side of the Parc des Princes?
