The Real Madrid squad has always been a topic of discussion among fans, especially when the team faces wave after wave of injuries. Spanish defender Marco Asensio's performance has attracted considerable attention. This name, which was not prominent in the team, gradually established its place in Real Madrid's defense through outstanding performances and became an existence that could not be ignored. In fact, Real Madrid is seriously considering his future with the team. Especially this season, Asensio has performed exceptionally well, particularly during the team's injury crisis, where he played the role of a "firefighter." Everyone knows that Real Madrid's defensive line has been plagued by injuries this season, with many key players missing due to injuries. However, Asensio was able to quickly step up, fill the gaps, and perform steadily and maturely. It can be said that Asensio has proven through his actions that he is not just a "substitute player" but a valuable defensive asset capable of stepping up in critical moments. However, as these injured players return, Asensio's position in the first team becomes less clear. The defensive line will return to its strongest lineup, raising questions about whether Asensio can maintain his position in the first team. Real Madrid's evaluation of Asensio seems complex. They believe he possesses characteristics similar to Nacho – a player capable of playing multiple defensive roles. Nacho is known as a "versatile player" in Real Madrid's defense, capable of playing as a center-back, right-back, or left-back whenever needed. Asensio also has this ability, with his flexibility and adaptability making him a…

On January 20th, Beijing time, in the 20th round of La Liga, Real Madrid staged a comeback victory over Las Palmas at home. In this match, Mbappe was in great form, scoring twice and contributing to the goals of Diaz and Rodrigo, dominating the game. For Las Palmas, Fabio Silva scored early in the game, while Ramirez was sent off, leading to a big win for Real Madrid. Real Madrid tops La Liga, and in addition, they have found a gem with a 4-1 victory! The 21-year-old iron defender excelled in both attack and defense, making an impressive slide tackle that earned him praise as the new Ramos. Mbappe is gradually finding his rhythm at Real Madrid. In the match against Las Palmas, he equalized for Real Madrid with a penalty kick, followed by a long-range shot that was saved. Vazquez then got the ball and assisted Diaz to score into an empty net. Mbappe received an assist from Rodrigo to score Real Madrid's third goal. He also made the second-to-last pass to Garcia, who then assisted Rodrigo for Real Madrid's fourth goal. Mbappe, who repeatedly created threats, received a perfect score of 10 in this match. Mbappe's all-around performance has won the recognition of Real Madrid fans. Young central defender Raul Asensio also had an outstanding performance in this game. Looking at Asensio's on-field statistics, his passing accuracy reached 93%, with 4 long passes and 3 successful transfers. He completed 1 dribble, was fouled once, and successfully contested 3 times, achieving a 100% success rate in both aerial and…

Wow! On January 14th, Beijing time, David Ornstein, the ace reporter from The Athletic UK, updated his weekly transfer report: Real Madrid has closed its winter transfer window. A great move! Real Madrid is moving further and further towards Liverpool! Losing to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup caused internal shock, which was the third consecutive loss to their derby rivals this season, including a friendly match in August. Don't laugh yet; last season, Real Madrid also had three victories over Barcelona. It's just a turn-based game. There is pressure on fans, players, and the coaching staff, but none on the management. After the game, Florentino Perez told Modric, "Sometimes we have to lose a final too, right?" When I saw this news, I felt that there might not be any new signings in the winter window. And it turned out to be true. Coach Carlo Ancelotti must take some responsibility for the loss, criticized for relying too much on Aurelien Tchouameni. Why can't Marco Asensio be used? In fact, throughout his coaching career, he rarely uses young players. His style is old-fashioned, with a strict rotation system based on ability and position, rarely changing. The advantage is that it helps the core lineup build confidence, but the disadvantage is that it lacks flexibility when facing weaknesses. This is also a way to interact with big-name stars. However, after being hit hard, there will naturally be a desire for change. Spanish media Relevo reported that Real Madrid player Marco Asensio will start in the match against Celta Vigo on Thursday.…

This season, Real Madrid's defense has faced significant challenges, with injuries to Carvajal and Militao leaving the backline even more vulnerable. With multiple competitions underway, reinforcing the defense has become an urgent matter. However, while rumors have linked Real Madrid with moves for full-backs like Arnold, there has been little action regarding central defenders. Why is Real Madrid reluctant to invest in this position? The answer may lie in this young player. Raul Asensio, the 21-year-old Real Madrid youth product, was called upon during a time of need and seized the opportunity to represent the first team. On the pitch, Raul Asensio showed no fear, engaging physically with opponents and delivering a fine long pass assist for Bellingham's goal in his debut against Osasuna. In addition to his aggressive playing style, Raul Asensio is also adept at getting into the heads of opponents. In a recent Spanish Super Cup match against Mallorca, he not only performed well in both attack and defense but also verbally targeted Maffeo, who had been harassing Vinicius throughout the game, causing him to lose his composure. Raul Asensio's assertiveness on the pitch is evident, whether it's in defense or verbal confrontations, he doesn't back down. Currently, he just lacks experience. Seeing Raul Asensio's demeanor, many might find it familiar - yes, it's reminiscent of Ramos. The former Real Madrid captain was also a tough guy on the pitch, never backing down in either play or words. It's believed that if Raul Asensio can get enough opportunities in the future, he might just become the next…

Compared to its neighbors, for trainees of Real Madrid's youth academy, making it into the first team is almost an impossible task. However, Raul Asensio's debut against Osasuna has given many people hope. What's even more surprising is that Asensio not only successfully completed his personal debut but also provided an assist, filling people with expectations that he will surely become a key player in the team's defense in the future. In the four games Asensio started this season, he proved on the field that he could withstand pressure and had the level required for the first team. However, as a product of Real Madrid's youth academy, it was destined that he would not be able to find space in the first team, as there simply is no tradition of using homegrown players here. In fact, Ancelotti's decision to call up Asensio was merely because Alaba, Militao, Carvajal, and Tchouameni were injured, leaving him with no one available for the backline. It had nothing to do with how well Asensio performed. As a result, despite Ancelotti's glowing praise for Asensio's performance, once Tchouameni recovered from his injury, although the Frenchman is just a midfielder, he was clearly more trusted by the Italian coach in the center-back position. The poor kid was quickly relegated to the bench. Asensio's story is also what many young players at Real Madrid will inevitably face. Despite their apparent talent, they quickly fade into obscurity due to a lack of stable playing opportunities, becoming a series of sacrifices.

Real Madrid has experienced a dip in performance this season, currently ranking second in La Liga and 20th in the UEFA Champions League. Despite this, the team has shown signs of recovery with recent results of four wins and one draw. Fans are eagerly anticipating the club's actions during the winter transfer window to bolster the squad's strength. It now appears that Real Madrid's "first signing" has been revealed. Congratulations to Real Madrid! The "first winter signing" has been announced, with a top-class defender coming to the rescue, alleviating Coach Ancelotti's urgent need. On December 29th, Spanish media outlet Marca reported that David Alaba, who has been out for an extended period due to injury, is expected to rejoin team training on the 30th of this month. Alaba's return date will be determined by his own recovery progress. It is understood that Alaba has fully recovered from his injury. Alaba suffered a knee anterior cruciate ligament injury last December and has been absent from the team for over a year without playing for Real Madrid. Even without Alaba, Real Madrid has demonstrated its formidable strength, winning five titles this year, excluding the Copa del Rey. Now, as Alaba gradually recovers from his injury and is close to returning, his comeback is indeed akin to a significant new signing for Real Madrid. The new year is approaching, and Real Madrid has at least seven matches scheduled for January 2025. If they reach the final of the Spanish Super Cup, they will play eight matches. Their second match in January is against…
