After drawing gas for admiration for his skills shown in the debut, series near missing Ipswich and introduction to the intensity of the Prime Minister League against Liverpool, Marco Assensio had his big moment against Chelsea.
The signing of Loan Aston Villa scored both targets in the winners behind him and showed why he had quality to raise this ambitious club on new heights in the coming months in the coming months. It is important that this serial winner is eager to accept the challenge.
“I’m happy,” Asensio says Ski Sports. “Happy to join the project, be with my teams and staff and grateful I can also give fans to fans. I want to help achieve the goals we have, together as a team and club.”
It is a different responsibility that Spain International had in the villa. His career began in Mallorca and took a magical spell in Espaniol, but for the best part of the decade it is a player surrounded by the stars in Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
Asensen names Cristiano Ronald as the most famous name in his phone and his goal in the Super Cup in UEFAs as his favorite strike – not bad when there is one in the Champions League final to choose. He is now ready to accept the role of leadership.
“Sometimes comes with age,” he explains. “I’ve always been the youngest in teams and now it’s up to me, that she’s a veteran, to assume that role. But I always loved responsibility. I’ve always been in teams where he is in teams.
“I’m used to playing for teams where every three points are things and each game can be a difference in the title race. I came here to take responsible and run, next to other great players who are already in the team.”
Emery was a sudden asensio signature for some time, getting your man in a third attempt. In part, the 29-year-old player convinced the promise to be used in his favored role, something that often not later in Madrid or Paris.
It was often used there on the right, cut inside on the left leg. But as an absence sees himself as 10. There is that Emeri encouraged him to believe that there will be an opportunity, even moving Morgan Rogers in the right wing to accommodate him.
Why was that so important for an asset? “Well, in the end, it’s my most natural position, obviously,” he explains. “Those of you who saw me outside, you saw me play more on the left side or on the right, with that freedom go inside.
“But this is my natural attitude, where I started in Majorca, when I signed Madrid. It was one of my personal goals that would play in that position, because I will help me to reach my maximum level in terms of goals. It helps and help in the team.
“It was a key factor, important when it comes to coming here. The coach and staff also feel in the same way in the meaning of what I can offer in that position. It is the most important thing where I can achieve my full potential.”
The relationship between Asensio and Emery is fascinating given their obvious desire to work together. “Unai was an important piece to be here.” What makes it so intriguing that, on the face, there will be some potential for problems.
Asensio is a huge talent, leaks creativity in that left leg, but until his attitude was examined, tracking back not necessarily does not necessarily arrive necessary. He had his moments in the PSG, but Luis Enrique seemed to think he was poorly adapted to press.
Work Van-Ball is not negotiated under Emeri, coach that built its reputation for organization. Asensio once claimed that he learned how to play without a ball in Espaniol, but it was almost a decade ago. He played in dominant teams.
Asensio recognized the logic behind the observation, but offers his counterpoint. “Yes, but also in many phases in Real Madrid, for example, we were a team who also liked to wait, we liked playing without the ball, we liked the crossing,” he claims to cross.
“They’re just styles. Every match is different. I think it’s in Unii’s style, it fits perfectly into my characteristics. When it comes to defending a lower block, it doesn’t mean to me dominated.
“There are many phases of the game we want to dominate. But you also need to adhere to defensive aspects of the game, because if you have a good defense basis, then if you have a good defense basis. I can always go out. “
Even speaks like eMeri. Maybe it’s long video sessions. This specific conversation was originally needed earlier in the afternoon, but one of those now meetings were added to the famous analysis, and the diary was accelerated to speed up.
“Yes, he crosses a little more detail,” Asensio admits. But it is welcome. “He likes to analyze our games much. How is the opponent? What can we improve? What are the situations in our game good and what situations should be strengthened?
“He’s a coach with a lot of experience. He was in big clubs, won headings to show us the best way to win the tools so that we could use them on the field, who can use them on the field opponent. I think it is That important. Not everyone had all the coaches. “
The son of the Spanish Father who grew up in Germany and Dutch mother – even appointed great Mark Van Basten – maybe Asensio was always destined to take his talents around the continent. “I wanted to try to experience life outside Spain.”
But Aston Villa? As the new song enjoyed the end of Holtea, Ide, Asensio won the league in Spain, and then went to Paris and did the same. There is no doubt about his capacity to hear magic, but the adoption of silver to the other city would really be a neat trick.
He doesn’t govern. “I’ve already won everything at the level of the club with Real Madrid. In Paris, I also had the opportunity to win titles.” So, what exactly is what is running now? “This is a new goal, an ambitious project with a coach who wants to win,” he adds.
“He also has that mentality and players and players, so I am looking for it from this season, because there are a lot of important challenges that are aston fairy and we can feel the support of fans help us achieve.
“It is amazing how we support us and encourage us. If you put everything together, club, coaches, players and fans, we believe that we can achieve maximum in the premiere league, the Champions and Fa Cup league.”
With asensio around, there could be more than big moments to come.
