Marco Asensio`s season turned him into a veteran of only 22 years. He took part in the finals and played more minutes than expected in both Real Madrid and the national team, and his progress suggests that he will be the great figure of Spanish football for many years to come. Marco, however, is far from shaking his position:I want to be an important figure. For the time being, he is the youngest of La Roche`s for the forthcoming World Cup.
- Surprisingly, you have been in Madrid and the national team for only 22 years. Are you a veteran of this fragile age player?
- Yes. When I came to Real Madrid, I was full of desire and conviction in my qualities, but the truth was that everything was getting pretty fast. I could enjoy many game minutes and grew up as a footballer. I`ve fulfilled my goals and now I only want to grow up.
- You are the third in games in Spain for the season, including the ones in the national team, over Antoine Griezmann and Lionel Messi and only behind Ivan Rakitic and Saul
- That`s important:I was able to play many games and I was always ready to grab every opportunity. I try to perform well in order to have as many minutes as possible.
- It is also influenced by the fact that you had two coaches who vote very much for the young - -and Zinedine Zidane, and Julen Lopetegui. How did you take the cold shower from leaving the Frenchman?
`It took us all a step and surprised us, but my experience with it brought me a bunch of good times. He believed me a lot and we have good relations. From the outset, he clarified things and knew where I was, and that I had to work for every opportunity I could get, and he gave it to me one after another. With Julen, it`s the same:from the very beginning, he got along well, he talks a lot with me and sets me high requirements. This is very important for me.'
- Zidane said on a farewell that he did not deny a day to return. Considering the age of both of you, it will not be a wonder to work together again, for example, after five years. How would you accept this?
- Yes, why not?! That would mean that everything was excellent and I stayed in Madrid. If we can get him back together here, what`s better!
- Did you take advantage of the fact that you had a coach as your poem who played in a similar position to your field so you could look more like him?
- Yes, no doubt. I have been looking at him since childhood and stealing much of his football skills. It is true that we are different -;he is a right-hander, and I`m a left-hander, we work the ball differently, but I always wanted to look like Zidane.
- How was the square playing with him?
`It is that she sometimes taught us all lessons in the macele. An allegedly simple double pass did it so that your ball is ideal as speed, direction and weight. The truth is, it was incredible to be able to train with him.
- You were worth about 3 million euros to Real Madrid. How much does Marco Asensio now cost?
`Well, I do not know that. I do not control the transfer prices on the market, although they have risen well since my arrival in Madrid. This is determined by clubs mentioned by contact messi . I do not know how much I would be worth today.
- With Spain you make the debut at the World Cup?
