DBasia.news – Real Madrid had a poor start this season. Despite the inconsistent performance, El Real also lose Cristiano Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane also sacked Julen Lopetegui for the bad results.
The 1-5 defeat against Barcelona was the last match for the former Spain national team coach. Santiago Solari, the former Real Madrid Castilla coach, replaced him. However, Solari’s arrival seems like not a good thing for some players, one of them is Marco Asensio.
Prioritized in the attacking line and always becomes the starter under Lopetegui, the 22-year-old player must sit on the bench. Moreover, Asensio just performed two times since the beginning.
After previously declaring that he wasn’t the one to blame for the crisis, Asensio dropped the hint that he is disappointed not trusted as the starter. Moreover, the player who was born in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, emphasized his will to be an essential player in the squad.

“I’m still young, there are players that have to lead the team. I want to make a bigger contribution to the club, to feel more important,” Asensio said cited by Goal.
“I also need to have that confidence and for the club to give me that responsibility,” he added.
Now, under Solari, Madrid revive and find their best performance. Moreover, Sergio Ramos and friends are unbeaten in four consecutive matches. But, Asensio’s declining performance also stole the attention. He answered the critics toward him recently.
“It seems like the whole world came down on me. When you have a good game, you’re the best. And when you don’t hit one into the top corner, people get on your back a bit. This bad month we’ve had hasn’t made me change the way I think, and I know the situation will change,” he concluded.
