DBasia.news – Carlo Ancelotti gave Marco Asensio the opportunity to compete. As a result, he managed to score three goals when bringing Real Madrid to beat Real Mallorca with a score of 6-1 in the continuation of the Spanish La Liga.
“We are all very involved and committed, easy to say. We can’t wait to finish a great season. There is a lot of competition. However, [coach] Ancelotti can count on me, I’m ready. The position I played tonight is a good position for me and I will play wherever the coach wants me to do it.”
It is true that Asensio proves to be an attractive asset for Madrid should Los Blancos need someone alongside Benzema as a second striker. Hazard has played that role in recent weeks but he is also a candidate for the minute.
“I am pleased. I had the opportunity to play from the start and I knew I had to take my chance. I’ve worked really hard for this moment to come,” he stated.
“I’m happy with this win, the goals and that we can keep going. It was a special game for me. Mallorca was a club close to my heart, when I started there. They had a good start to the season and I hope they did well for the rest of the season.”
Asensio also wanted to give his appreciation to the fans who came to the Bernabeu in their first match at the stadium since the Covid-19 pandemic hit Spain.
“We really miss playing in front of the fans. It was a very emotional moment for me, we really needed the support we didn’t get during the pandemic. I am very grateful to all the Real Madrid fans who came to the Bernabeu.”
“We all worked really hard as a team today, in attack and defence. We had fun and I hope the fans do too because this is something to enjoy together. The togetherness between the fans and the team is there to be seen.” Stated the attacker.
