"Both in the group and individually, Luis Enrique focuses a lot on the movements we make, he analyzes everything and explains his idea of ​​the game, how he wants to attack and defend. He seeks perfection. He is very demanding in all the positioning of each player , that's why he always focuses on the team and what he wants from each one," the Real Madrid player assured the media after his debut win against Costa Rica (7-0).

Asensio scored his first goal in a World Cup against Costa Rica, in his second participation, and showed his happiness with the confidence he feels from Luis Enrique to show his best level.

"I feel very good. Yesterday a great game in general for the whole team came out, I personally am happy for the goal and for being able to contribute many things. Accommodating myself to what Luis Enrique asks of me, I am very comfortable and happy with the confidence that It's giving me," he confessed.

He started playing as a center forward, in the position of 9 in which he has begun to shine. "From the first day Luis Enrique told me that I could play in several positions. Nine is a position in which each one has to respect their space because we play as a team. We have to be very coordinated defensively and offensively. He asks me to be coordinated with the interiors and the extremes so that each one plays in his position and space", concluded.
