He wants his ticket to Qatar.

249 days away from the fields due to torn ligaments have been an ordeal, complicated by many other discomforts that have modified his game and that took him out of the Red.

the Czech defense did not give them respite until he managed to serve a goal to Carlos Soler and offer him a second that the Valencian could not take advantage of.

Even a penalty he claimed for a takedown when facing goalkeeper Mandous alone.

On his right wing, the game of Spain was supported just when the team and Marco Asensio himself needed it most.

With only one year left on his contract at Real Madrid, he unravels the daisy about his future.

He wants to be the protagonist and this season he has not been, nor at the Bernabéu are they guaranteed that he will be.

His time at Valencia seems to come to an end just when he dazzles Luis Enrique, who has discovered more in these two weeks of concentration than in the entire last season as a Valencianista.
