After a match against Betis where his absence was noticeable, the Italian coach is clear that Asencio is essential in the starting eleven for this crucial encounter.
His absence in Seville was a strategic measure to ensure his physical and mental freshness, protecting him from the hostile environment and guaranteeing his participation in the derby. Ancelotti trusts Asencio to give consistency to the defense, where he is expected to play an important role.
His presence on the field allows for greater solidity and avoids defensive mismatches, something that was missed in the match against Betis. The Italian coach did not hesitate to show his confidence in Asencio, reaffirming his role as a key piece in the team’s tactical scheme.
It is hoped that Asencio will recharge his batteries with the support of the fans and that the team will turn the stumble in Seville into a simple accident. The derby is presented as an opportunity to demonstrate the strength of the team and the importance of Asencio in its structure.
With Asencio on the field, the team seeks greater defensive security and more opportunities in attack. The Rojiblancos fans expect a great game from the team and, above all, an outstanding performance from Asencio, who has become a fundamental player in Ancelotti’s plans.
