“I am convinced that he will do well”. Ancelotti, on Asencio. It is not a simple sentence. The one from Reggiolo thinks so. It feels like this after the canary's first 150 adult minutes. Rüdiger's second in command, when he recovers, will be Tchouameni. An idea that does not disappear. But this does not conflict with the fact that confidence in Raúl is complete. A refreshing appearance sponsored by the emergency that is not a patch, but a solution. He introduced himself with a 50-meter pass to Bellingham, He solidified the foundations at Butarque and now, Anfield. A great challenge. A dream. A reality.

Asencio's life has taken a sudden turn. On November 2 he faced Atleti B as Raúl's marshal in a mini-derby that did not do justice to the prefix. He played 90 minutes, as always with Castilla. And suddenly, first call-up with the seniors against Osasuna. He has not set foot in the subsidiary again. Not even since he made his debut after Militao's injury has he stepped on the bench. He won't do it in Liverpool either. In 25 days, from Cerro del Espino to Anfield Road.

Los input that arrived from La Fábrica were unbeatable. “He is a First Division center”it was stated emphatically. And when the context has drawn the opportunity, the one from Reggiolo has verified that the warnings were not unfounded. “It has been very good. Always focused. “He has a lot of personality”I x-rayed the Italian yesterday. Because Asencio showed against Leganés that he was not a flash in the pan. Borja Jiménez planned a tough match for the youth player and a more pleasant one for Rüdiger. He approved it with flying colors.

Bellingham thanked Asencio for his excellent pass on the day of the youth squad's debut, against Osasuna.

The mission of De la Fuente, striker pepinerowas to bother 35 and get away from Rambo. The response of Rollas they know him, forceful. He won 70% of duels (7/10), touched the ball 60 times, and was 84% ​​successful in passing.with three of them ending in the last third of the field, made five clearances and left another highlight, a drive that planted him in the rival field and almost cooked his second assist in two games. “He played with maturity”Ancelotti complimented him. There have been two matches with a favorable wind, without goals against and without extreme suffering, but the defender has resolved the situations with integrity. Now, Liverpool's turn, the most difficult yet. A major test before Tchouameni enters the equation. Its particular selectivity.

The white squad has supported him, with Rüdiger, their 'partner'(partner), as he calls him online, in the lead. Raúl is one more. That's how it feels, that's how they show it to you. And, in addition, he has the support of his now former teammates. For La Fábrica, it is an example. A motivation. It is not lost sight of that the situation has appeared in the face of a plague of injuries for which Madrid is looking at the calendar. But neither is the canary squeezing the opportunity. “This excites the boys a lot. “They know it's difficult, but seeing a youth player shining in the first team motivates them.”they slide from Valdebebas. At Anfield, Asencio will not walk alone.
