Even if Real Madrid has relaunched well in the Club World Cup by beating Pachuca (3-1), this player clearly did not score points in Xabi Alonso’s eyes.
The club World Cup could have taken a funny turn for Real Madrid. Hanging by al-Hilal (1-1) on the first day, the Merengues found themselves in an unfortunate posture on Sunday evening, against Pachuca, receiving a red card from the 7th minute.
Thanks to the individual talent of its players, and in particular Jude Bellingham, Arda Güler and Federico Valverde (all scorers), Real Madrid managed to win (3-1) and replaces itself well before facing Salzburg on the last day. On the other hand, it is clear that a white house player is losing big points on this competition.
The element in question? Raul Asencio. After conceding a penalty against Al-Hilal, the 22-year-old Spanish central defender was trapped by the in-depth call from the veteran Salomon Rondon against Pachuca. Guilty of hanging the Venezuelan striker, the Madrid was therefore excluded in the 7th minute.
Asensio designated guilty for real
This makes two consecutive errors for Raul Asecio, and ” twice the same error “As his goalkeeper Thibaud Courtois pointed out. In a club like Real Madrid, that is a lot, and probably too much.
Revelation of the past season, the player trained at the club pleased supporters by his character displayed on the field. But his level of play begins to ask questions. And with the arrival of the promising Dean Huijsen (Bournemouth), the Place de holder of Asencio is clearly compromised.
