This is a story worthy of the greatest films in history. Little considered a few years ago in Castilla, Raul Asencio was not intended to have a great career with Real Madrid. Finally, the young central defender of 22 years won this season with the Merengues. Taking advantage of the departures of young hopes like Rafa Marin and the long injuries of executives like Eder Militao, the native of Las Palmas had his chance with Carlo Ancelotti. Since then, the one who is already compared to Sergio Ramos never ceases to impress.
Considered as an irremovable holder in major meetings, the number 35 Madrid has become the new darling of Santiago-Bernabeu. Heckled outside the capital because of its judicial problems for a dark case of diffusion of child pornography images, Raul Asencio can nevertheless count on the unwavering support of his teammates and his supporters. A confidence that is felt in the field through many supported interventions that make Madrid supporters roar with pleasure and often shiny inspirations for recovery. An impressive ascent which also translates under the colors of the Roja.
Raul Asencio engages on his new status
Never called with the youth teams from Spain, the Real defender was called for the first time with the reigning European champion for the March Rally. An accomplishment which even more propels an asencio RAUL which is with angels as he explained to the microphone of the Spanish Football Federation: “I am very happy to be here. I want to live this experience fully. I have always dreamed of such a moment since very young and I am very proud to have succeeded. I learned my convocation to training with Real Madrid thanks to Ancelotti who came to tell me. All my teammates and the technical staff congratulated me. It was really nice. Everything was very fast and very brutal. I gradually adapt to the situations I live and to those that I still have to live. Child, we joke and we think of what we can accomplish in the future, and seeing him realize me makes me very proud. ”
Inevitably, his arrival, coupled with that of Dean Huijsen, and the emergence of Pau Cubarsí in the Spanish defense suggest a bright future for Roja. Especially sincesecio seems determined to impose itself with Spain, as did its idols Sergio Ramos and Carles Puyol before him: “I have always been one of those who like to work in the shadows, I don't like being congratulated for my assists or my goals. It's good, but I like to be responsible for the rear, watching football and organizing the team is a talent I have since I was very small. I liked to be a defender and today I have no regrets. Sergio Ramos has always been a benchmark for me, all those who love football know what has been, both with Real Madrid and with the Spanish national team. It is true that there have been other references like Carles Puyol, we look at them and we look at their way of playing from an early age and we start to see the virtues of each player. ” It remains to be seen whether Raul Asencio will manage to continue on his momentum to, too, become one of the best Spanish defenders in history.
