Raul Asensio, the heart of the defense of Real Madrid, asked for the first time the first team, despite the investigations in progress on the accusations of his participation in a sexual ribbon of a minor.
According to the “Athletic” network, Asensio never joined the youth teams in Spain, but he got a special season with Real Madrid, where he participated in 29 games with the first team from his first appearance in November.
On 22 -year -old plays a key role in the Real Madrid team this season after the long -term wounds that Edir Milliteao and Danny Carvajal have been played, and plays alongside Antonio Rodiger in the heart of the defense.
On 11 February, it has been reported that Asensio is still under investigation – together with three other former players of Real Madrid Youth – on charges of sharing a sexual ribbon of two women, who was recorded in Gran Kanaria in the summer of 2023, after a Spanish court refused to appeal to be acquitted of the case.
Among the most excluded from the team Alejandro Baldi, the back of Barcelona and his teammate Ghafi, despite the return of Ingo Martinez, the heart of the defense of Barcelona, to the team after recovering from an injury.
Dean Hoison, the heart of Bournemouth, who joined the team of Spain U -21, and Isco, Real Betis Playmaker.
Spain faces the Netherlands in the quarterfinals of the European Nations League, where the first stage will be held in Rotterdam on March 20 and the second stage in Valencia after three days.
As expected, Louis de la Fuente documented the experience of the national team and has maintained the cohesion of the unit that led Spain to be successful in the European championship 2024 in Germany, but there are still some big names missing.
The inclusion of the heart of the defense of Real Madrid is the most important Real Madrid. The 22 years qualified for the initial formation after a series of great offers with Real Madrid, after injuries that hit other players in his position with Spain, such as Erik Laporte and Danny Vivian. But his choice instead of Hoison, born in the Netherlands, which offers a great season with Bournemouth, was a bold decision of De La Fenti, and could be qualified to play with his country.
Martinez returns to the national team for the first time since March last year, which is worthy, but another Barcelona star at the top of his level was not lucky. I was excluded from the collection, while De La Fuente was relying on Mark Kokuria and Alejandro Grimaldo in the left center.
Among the greatest doubts in midfield there was the question of invading involvement, which is an essential element in the plans of De La Fuente until he was wounded in the front crusader ligament while playing with Spain in 2023. The twenty year old is struggling to find a place for him in the initial formation led by Hansi Felk and La Fente.
The same was for Isco. The participation of the 32 years would be happy with fans of nostalgia in the past, as it represents a great story of returning to the player at the top of his level with Real Betis. He lost the European championship last summer because of the injury, and is now the best. But De La Fuente is not yet able to imagine a place for him, especially with Bidri, Alex Pyna and Danny Olu also in good condition.
