Good news came to Fenerbahçe’s Spanish midfielder Marco Asensio from his country’s press.
The rising form of Spanish star Marco Asensio, whom Fenerbahçe added to its squad at the beginning of the season, became a hot topic in his country.
While good news came from Spain for the yellow-dark blue star, AS newspaper’s news on the subject was as follows:
The Spanish player is achieving the best statistics of his career with the Fenerbahçe jersey and is confident that he will return to the Spanish National Team after 1.5 years, just like Betis’ Isco.
Asensio found the ideal environment in Fenerbahçe to regain the best form of his career. The 30-year-old player is showing one of the best performances of his career in Türkiye. In fact, he shines with stats that go above and beyond his best. Asensio produced 11 goals and 7 assists in 27 matches. He became the key offensive player of Tedesco’s team.
The former Real Madrid player had a clear goal when he signed a contract with the Istanbul club: to become a leading figure in European football again. Before transferring to Fenerbahçe, he received better offers in Saudi Arabia, but he did not want to lose the limelight. This votewas as strategic as it was sporty, the goal: to continue to compete at the highest level in Europe, to be in the national team, to stay on Luis da la Fuente’s radar.
His performance justifies this decision. Asensio has proven himself as one of the most effective players in the Turkish League. With Fenerbahçe’s presence in the offensive power; Whether he played on the right wing or in the middle, he scored important goals and assists at critical moments throughout the season. Beyond his football skills, he ensures his development through stability.
Stability and self-confidence led him to take a more prominent role within the team. More than a temporary option for Fenerbahçe; He turned into a player who changed the fate of the match and took responsibility at critical moments.
THE ROAD TO THE NATIONAL TEAM
This development of Asensio inevitably sparked his return to the Spanish National Team, where he has not been called up since October 2023. If Asensio returns to the Spanish National Team, it would not be the first for De la Fuente.
The clearest example is Isco at Real Betis. In a positive environment, he reached the maturity of his football, gained stability and returned to the Spanish National Team. Asensio hopes to follow a similar path.
FOLLOWING CLOSELY
De la Fuente has been following Asensio’s development closely. He finds it valuable that Asensio chose Fenerbahçe and took part in the UEFA Europa League. It is important for him to have a high level of competition and not lose his international experience. His performance in Fenerbahçe did not go unnoticed, and his potential call-up to Asensio’s national team in the future will depend on his rise.
ITS IMPACT SPREAD TO THE WHOLE TEAM
The Spanish player’s influence spreads throughout the team. Fenerbahçe is pursuing ambitious goals and Asensio is a quiet leader. Fenerbahçe found a player who determines the results of the match and regains the self-confidence that was lost in previous seasons.
Asensio is vying to be competitive again and be at the top. He also rejected the offers in Spain and chose Fenerbahçe. As a result of this decision; His consistent season in Türkiye shows that his plan is working correctly. Like Isco, he was reborn and once again assumed the role of key player. He is rightfully waiting to be called up to the national team.
