MADRID, 30 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Real Madrid midfielder Marco Asensio is clear that on a personal level “it is very special” to be able to return to a call-up for the Spanish national team, where “there are many talented players and a lot of quality”, while he does not hide that for him it is ” tremendous” to have already won three Champions Leagues in his record.
“Here there are many talented and high-quality players, and that speaks well of the competition there is, which is very good. I have to try to make things difficult for the coach so that each call-up is so hotly contested. In my case, work to the fullest because I am very excited about returning to the national team, I am very happy and happy because for me it is very special to play with the national team,” Asensio said in statements to the official media of the national team.
The Spaniard hopes that they will give “the maximum to win” the four Nations League games that lie ahead and that “are important.” “They are going to help us to prepare very well for the World Cup because they are strong rivals. In my case I am one hundred percent, with the maximum of illusion and with a lot of desire to be able to contribute a lot and to be able to do things well to be able to return in the next concentration”, he underlined.
The madridista confesses that he would love “to win a tournament with the national team”. “I’ve been able to experience it in the lower categories and it’s something I wouldn’t change for anything in the world,” stressed Asensio, who knows that the national team has the ability to “give people a lot of joy” if they achieve “something important.”
“Since everything is happening so fast, sometimes you have to stop to reflect and think about everything I’m achieving at a professional level. Having three Champions Leagues is something tremendous and when I arrived at Real Madrid I never would have imagined it. It’s something very special and It’s a very different experience, especially at the club I’m at. It’s one more Champions League, but I don’t want to stay here, I want more. I try to enjoy each title to the fullest because you never know when it’s the last one and I value it and focus that way”, he admitted after winning the Champions League last Saturday.
