Marco Asensio Willemsen

Real Madrid midfielder Marco Asensio is called one of the most expensive footballers of our time. Former United coach Alex Fergusson has estimated the midfielder's transfer value at a record amount. And it is no coincidence that in just one season at Real Madrid Asensio together with the team collected the main football trophies - victories in the national championship, the Spanish Super Cup and the Champions League. Despite the offers, the player intends to stay at the Spanish club.

The future Star of the Real Madrid team was born on January 21, 1996 in Mallorca in the most football family. His father Gilberto Asensio grew up in Germany, and in his youth moved to Spain, where for some time he played for clubs from the northern regions of the country. Gilberto and his parents moved to Mallorca. Leaving his football career, the young man got a job in a hotel. Here he met his future wife Maria Willemsen, a devoted fan of football.

Marco became the second child in the family. His older brother Igor was chosen by his father, and his mother called him by the agreement of his parents. Originally from Holland, Maria gave her son a name after national soccer star Van Basten. Unsurprisingly, Marco became interested in the game from an early age. The idol of the young athlete was zidan. The novice footballer not only hung posters with him on the walls, but also copied the style of the famous Player of Juventus and Real Madrid in training.

From the age of seven, the boy played at the local school , The Place s de Calvia. The school was located in the suburbs of Palma, the "capital" of the island where the Asensio family lived. At these trainings and found 9-year-old Marco scout Clemente Marin, who later made his admission to the Academy of Mallorca. Marin was amazed by the ease with which the child beat 15-year-old rivals, relying on techniques familiar in the style of the legendary zidan.

The parents, of course, supported their son in everything. Sports.ru writes that thanks to his mother Marco at the age of 10 he met the president - at that time - of the club "Real Madrid" Florentino Perez. Retired, the businessman rested on his yacht off the coast of Mallorca. When Perez was returning to the ship after a walk around the city, Maria noticed him and let Marco take a picture.

Taking them off, the woman told Perez that her son planned to play for Real Madrid. Perez, accustomed to attention, did not pay attention to her words, and a decade later Marco Asensio made his debut for the team of the royal club.

The final of the 2010 World Cup, where the teams of Spain and Holland made their way, was watched by the whole family. Relatives of the father and mother rooted for different commands, and Marco later admits that he will never forget the emotions seen: "The Dutch did not move and as if frozen, the Spaniards went crazy."

The following year, shortly after Marco's 15th birthday, Maria died of oncology. For the family, the sad event was a blow. Gilberto's sons, who were working at the supermarket at the time, took over. As his shift began at six in the morning, the boys' father woke up on the phone. Marco went to study and training with his head.

The junior's debut at Mallorca took place in 2013, when the team played in the second division of the Spanish championship. 17-year-old Asensio came on as a substitute and played as a flank midfielder in the match against Andalusian Recreativo. A few months later, Mallorca changed its coach. Luis Carerras, who arrived in February 2014, included Marco in the starting line-up for 9 of the 12 league games. In March, the rookie scored his first goal for Mallorca, scoring against Tenerife.

Despite the fact that Marco failed to score more goals in the 2013/2014 season, his style of play impressed Spanish football functionaries.Among the contenders for the purchase of the midfielder was Barcelona. The club has agreed to pay for the player of 4.5 million, and the Catalan edition of Sports wrote that for Asensio already pick up housing in the suburbs of the metropolis. But the deal fell through: Mallorca demanded a lump sum payment, Barcelona insisted on installments.

The failed transition affected Asensio's emotional mood. The young player was supported by the new coach of Mallorca Valery Karpin. The coach, who joined the club in September 2014, believed Marco's talent and created an environment for him that allowed him to reach the full potential of the player. Karpin moved the midfielder from the flank to the centre, which greatly increased Mallorca's attacks. As a result, the team broke a series of defeats and got the lead in five matches in a row.

During the season, the midfielder scored 6 goals and made 8 assists. Successful performances fueled the interest of clubs to the athlete, and his agent raised the issue of salary increases. At that time, Marco was receiving €16,000, according to Sports.ru. Later, Karpin said in an interview with "90 Minutes Plus" that if he were the general director of Spartak, and Asensio - the player of the club, the player would be paid up to 400,000 euros. The Russian coach spoke out against Asensio's transfer, believing that he should focus on developing skills and stay at Mallorca, where there are conditions for professional improvement.

However, at the end of 2014 Mallorca announced via Twitter that In six months Asensio will leave the club for Real Madrid. Transfer value was 3.9 million. At the press conference after a series of defeats, Karpin habitually began to defend the favorite, speaking negatively about the rest of the team. A week later, Karpin resigned as Mallorca's mentor.

In the summer of 2015, Asensio entered the European Youth Championships in Greece. He played five matches for the Spanish team, including a semi-final against France. In that game, the player scored two goals. The Spaniards won the championship gold medals, and Marco received the title of "Golden Player".

However, in 2015, Real Madrid fans never saw him in the squad. The club's management has loaned the midfielder to Espanyol for the season so that Asensio will gain playing experience. It was in this team that the player made his debut in the First Division of Spain. Playing for Barcelona, Marco scores fewer goals than Mallorca, but makes twice as many assists.

The footballer wins the sympathy of not only the fans. The organizers of the championship give him the title of "Opening of the season", the coach of the national team Vicente Del Bosque lets out on the field in a friendly match against Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the coach of Real Madrid expresses admiration. "I'm thrilled with what he's doing," he told reporters at the time.

Asensio's 2016/2017 season is playing for Real Madrid, and his footballer's career is on the rise. He decides to release the debutant in the most important match - the UEFA Cup final. Against the royal club comes the team "Sevilla", for the third year in a row going to the finish line of the tournament, but remaining without a victory. Marco Asensio scores his first goal for Real Madrid. The ball is one of three that bring victory to Real Madrid.

Following the UEFA Cup, Sergio Ramos's team wins the Spanish league and the Champions League, with a significant contribution to the lead of Real Madrid made by a newcomer from Mallorca. It was Asensio who scored the final goal in the final match between Real Madrid and Juventus. The Italians lose 1-4.

In the same year, the Spanish youth team takes second place at the world championship. During the meeting with Macedonia, Asensio scores three goals. In the summer of 2017, Real Madrid, who had been claiming victory in the National Super Cup for five years, are finally winning awards in this tournament. French media "L'Equipe" presents the ranking of the best football players in the world, born after January 1, 1996. The first place is occupied by Asensio. In the autumn there are rumours about Arsenal's plans to acquire the midfielder for €81 million, but the deal is not made.

Marco Asensio is not married. In 2016 he dated model Marina Muntaner, but the pair then broke up. In 2018, there were rumors about the footballer's relationship with the star of one of the Spanish reality shows Sofia Suskun. The information was indirectly confirmed by the girl: in her Instagram there were joint photos with the Real Madrid player.

At 76 kg, Marco is 182 cm tall, which is acceptable for world football. However, as a child, growth was the cause of the young player's experiences - according to Asensio, he grew very slowly.

In the fall of 2017, Marco missed a game in the Champions League due to a leg injury sustained during the depilation. In November of the same year he suffered a hip injury in training and did not play for two weeks.

According to the sign of the zodiac Marco - Aquarius. The working leg is the left leg. He performs at number 20.

According to the statistics of the 2017/2018 season of the Spanish championship, Marco spent almost twice as much time on the field as the year before: 1838 minutes against 1037.

In May 2018, Real Madrid won the Champions League for the second time in a row. Asensio watched the final match from the bench: zidan released him on the pitch only in the 89th minute. Before the game, singer Dua Lip a performance took place, and a day later there were rumors in the press about a joint night with the Real Madrid midfielder. The girl denied the gossip on Twitter.

In early June, the Spanish national team with Marco Asensio played two friendly matches. Marco played the first game of the national team at the 2018 World Cup on the bench.
