Reflection on media and personal impact
Asencio acknowledged the emotional impact this period has had, pointing out that, although he understands the informative work of the media, the burden that individuals and their families carry in the face of unverified information is often forgotten. The footballer requested that, following the judicial resolution, the same media relevance be given to his acquittal as was given to the initial accusation.
- Gratitude: He highlighted the unconditional support received from his family, friends, and the Real Madrid board, who allowed him to maintain his professional focus.
- Sports commitment: He affirmed that his current priority is to continue working and growing on the pitch.
Regret for the drunk driving incident
Beyond the concluded judicial process, the player addressed the incident that occurred this summer, where he tested positive in a breathalyzer test, an act for which he was sanctioned with a fine of 14,400 euros and the withdrawal of his driver’s license for eight months. Asencio showed deep regret and took full responsibility for his actions.
Regarding the statements made by coach José Mourinho, who pointed out that although everyone makes mistakes, the accumulation of them is a different matter, Asencio agreed with his coach. The defender concluded by stating that now is the time to let his actions speak for him, both on and off the pitch.
