The youth squad Asencio falls off Ancelotti's list: on Friday he declares for the dissemination of a sex video

Raúl Asencio, central defender of Castilla, had been one of the novelties in Carlo Ancelotti's call for this Thursday's match in Vitoria against Alavés, but finally the youth squad has not gotten on the plane with the rest of the first team expedition. A stick for the footballer, who dreamed of his debut in LaLiga. Madrid has preferred not to tempt fate, the fog of Vitoria or the flight suspensions, because the young defender must testify this Friday in the Plaza de Castilla courts.

Asencio's name appears along with that of three other Real Madrid youth players, involved in an investigation for the making and dissemination of a sex video with several minors last summer in the Canary Islands.. The Investigating Judge Number 3 of San Bartolomé de Tirajana (Canary Islands) summoned Ferrán Ruiz, 20, Juan Rodríguez, 21, and Andrés García, 20, from Real Madrid C, in addition to Asencio.

Given the losses in Madrid's defense, which will not be able to count on Carvajal, Militao, Alaba and Mendy, Ancelotti had called up the 20-year-old center back. Born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, he has been indisputable for Raúl González in the reserve team, which plays in the First Federation, where he has played 14 games as a starter while accumulating training sessions with the first team. The injury to Marvel, who had been chosen by Ancelotti to enter the squad when necessary, had opened the doors for him.

Asencio trained at UD Las Palmas between 2012 and 2017 and at the age of 14 he entered the youth categories of Madrid, specifically in Cadet B. From there he has risen in Valdebebas until consolidating himself in the Madrid reserve team this season.

The investigation of the summer events is now in full development and the witnesses and those involved are testifying before the judge. It will be Asensio's turn this Friday morning, a few hours after Madrid's match in Vitoria. The center back and his defense maintain that they were not in the room at the Mogán club (Las Palmas) where the sexual encounters took place, nor did they participate in the filming and distribution of the images.. His defense maintains that there is no evidence against the footballer and a few weeks ago he got the Civil Guard to decide not to deem it necessary to dump the contents of his mobile phone.

His position in the investigation occurs, according to his lawyers, because a witness claimed to see the video on the center's cell phone, although she did not know how to specify which platform she viewed it on, something key in the process.. There is no further evidence of his participation in the events.

At the time, Madrid published a statement in which it claimed to have learned that “a Castilla player and three Real Madrid C players have given a statement to the Civil Guard in relation to a complaint for the alleged dissemination of a private video by Whatsapp”. “When the club has detailed knowledge of the facts, it will adopt the appropriate measures,” he concluded.
