Madrid's "Real" team's precious gem Marco Asensio is not yet ready to take on leadership qualities. It is said that one of the reasons why Florentino Perez did not invite any other player to replace Cristiano Ronaldo this summer was the desire to integrate M. Asensio into the starting eleven. The footballer played on the left wing for a long time under Julen Lopetegui, but his performance, like practically the entire team's, did not bring any hope. Under Santiago Solari, M. Asensio is once again back on the bench. The player himself said in an interview that he does not see a crisis in the team, but also emphasized that eyes should not be on him when talking about a player who should bring victories to the "Real" team. "I do not see any crisis in the team," said M. Asensio. "I don't believe I should be the one to bring victories to the team alone. There are many more experienced players in the team who have been playing at the highest level for many years and have a higher status in the club than I do so far." "Right now I am not the main player, but at the end of the season we will see how the overall statistics look. During this season, there was a moment when we received some unjustified criticism, but we know very well how the media works. I don't intend to blame everyone, but there were people who caused a lot of harm to the team," the player continued. Asked about the quick separation from J. Lopetegui, M. Asensio said: "Football was not kind to Julen. At crucial moments, we lacked accuracy in attack and simple success. It's a difficult situation because he also didn't succeed with the national team. Nevertheless, he is a great coach and still has a few more years in his career."
