• Crónica Asensio, the footballer of the details, opens the way against Eibar before Madrid's passion week

A stringer, a heel and a perfect definition.

Marco Asensio

was able to go home with a hat-trick but instead took a confident shot heading into the decisive moments of the

Real Madrid

season

.

The 60 minutes he played against

Eibar

, more positionally and mentally focused, confirmed him as one of the best attacking options for

Zidane against Liverpool and Barcelona

.

"Now I'm fine ...

Everything takes a process,

" he summarized about his roller coaster of sensations since he returned from the rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and the external meniscus of his left knee.

He returned last summer in the confinement league and scored

3 goals

, but it faded in the first months of the current season.

Many minutes and few sensations

.

Then came

Zidane's decision

.

Asensio ran out of minutes against

Elche

and came off the bench against

Atalanta

and

Celta

after having started

13 consecutive games

(23 in the total for the course).

The French coach's message was clear.

That, together with the

return of Rodrygo

, the tests with the system of

three centrals

, the good moment of

Vinicius

and his absence in the

last list of Luis Enrique before the Eurocup

raised the alarms of the Mallorcan.

And woke up.

"

I'm

working to score and

now they're coming in

. I'm happy for the goals and for contributing to the team," he explained after scoring his third goal in three games against Eibar.

One against the Italians in the Champions League, another in Vigo and the exquisite definition against Dmitrovic.

Asensio's goal was especially celebrated by a

Zidane

who has

invested a lot of time

in the recovery of his footballer.

He has been patient and has protected him on the wing until the player, also moved by the pressure of the current situation, has responded.

Against Eibar he was able to score a

goal from a free-kick

and saw how he was annulled with an excellent high heel.

In addition, he was more active than ever:

three shots

, one of which was about to slip through the rival squad, two key passes and a score of 7.86 according to

Whoscored

, the best in more than a month.

"I'm happy for him,

this gives him confidence, energy

. He needed to score," said the Frenchman about the Spanish attacker.

Zidane's plan

The French coach, in his

250th match as Madrid coach

,

1,000 for Florentino Pérez

as president, praised the good time of some of his most criticized footballers, such as

Isco

,

Marcelo and Militao

, headlines: "Now we are enjoying everyone, we have more trust and we know what we are at stake. This is going to end one day, but now we have to enjoy ourselves. "

Once the obstacle of Eibar has been overcome, Zidane and Madrid have eleven days ahead of them in which the season will be played.

"

We know where we come from

, that we have suffered a lot and that we have not done anything. For Liverpool hopefully

Valverde and Hazard

can return

," he recalled.

The Uruguayan is doubtful and the Belgian, despite training with the group, Zidane does not want to pressure him.

The meeting served to test again the system of three centrals, with

Militao, Nacho and Mendy

in the axis and

Lucas and Marcelo

of lanes.

The veteran Brazilian enjoyed, released, a remarkable hour of play and could be a starter against Liverpool if Zidane decides to repeat the scheme.

"We defend well and we are in a good moment. We started with Lucas and Marcelo in the band but then we can change the formation."
