Luis Enrique and his eleven recruits. On Saturday, Paris Saint-Germain released a photo of the Parisian coach and the club’s new players. Milan Skriniar, Manuel Ugarte, Ousmane Dembélé, Bradley Barcola, Randal Kolo Muani, Cher Ndour, Kang-In Lee, Lucas Hernandez, Arnau Tenas, Gonçalo Ramos and Marco Asensio. The latter, free since the end of his contract at Real Madrid, said yes to the capital club despite touches in England (Aston Villa). The good relationship between his agent, Jorge Mendes, and Luis Campos, the PSG football adviser, facilitated the exchanges.
Very quickly, he therefore joined the French capital. Despite the departures of Neymar and Lionel Messi, the Spaniard had to deal with competition. What he has always known at Real Madrid. But this worried the Iberian press. This was not reassured by its first in Ligue 1 against Lorient (0-0). He was also the first player released by Luis Enrique, with whom he has good relations. The announced arrivals of Kolo Muani and Barcola, who have since signed, also annoyed the Iberian media. They were all the more worried when Marco Asensio remained on the bench against Toulouse.
Asensio takes its mark
But it obviously had a positive effect. Holder against Lens, he scored his first official goal in his new colors. He was again placed in the starting lineup against OL on Sunday. Against Les Gones, he showed interesting things, making himself available to his teammates and dangerous. Author of a goal and a decisive pass, the Iberian international made a good copy. He also received a 7.5 from the FM writing for all of his work on Sunday evening.
He also had very little waste, he who brought his qualities and his precision to the game. A version of Marco Asensio that Luis Enrique hopes to see regularly. The Asturian is also very happy with the agreement of the former Real Madrid player with Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé. A trio with a future after the MNM. With already 2 goals and 1 assist in 3 L1 games, Asensio is the club’s second top scorer behind Kylian Mbappé at the moment. A rookie who has his say and who has already spoken on the pitch.
