José Mourinho spoke at a press conference ahead of this Friday's match against Real Betis Balompié.
This is what the coach said about Asencio: "I spoke to him when I arrived regarding things from the past. Since I arrived, I no longer speak about off-field situations. At Valdebebas he is an exemplary professional; when he was well, ***** ody trained more or better than him. Now he is the first to arrive and the last to leave. But a Real Madrid player is a Real Madrid player 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 12 months a year. Everything you do outside still reflects on Real Madrid. It continues to damage the prestige of a club that is untouchable. I'm not happy, and everyone makes mistakes, but repeated mistakes are different."
"The club has opened an investigation. As long as the investigation is open, I see him as a Real Madrid player. He is injured and will remain so for a couple of weeks. That helps keep me out of this problem."
Later, Mou spoke about Messi's retirement from the national team: "Talking about Messi is complicated. There are no words. He has been what we have all seen; he is one of those players you are going to miss. We'll have to watch some MLS matches, which I don't like very much. There are players you always miss. And we know what he means."
"Many work with me at some point, but even the ones who don't come up, we pay a lot of attention to them. They have done a great job in recent years and the result is that they have moved up to the first team... Thiago... and the many millions that Real Madrid has brought in through transfers that aren't really transfers, because in the end Real Madrid gets the players back whenever it wants to bring them back. As the season develops, with suspensions, injuries... opportunities will always come. I know them better every day and we are in daily contact with Manu and La Fábrica. And all the kids can be... I'm not going to take all of them, but they can all be excited about moving up to the first team."
