Real Madrid outcast promises Mourinho 100% focus after club opens disciplinary proceedings – report

Outcast Raul Asencio vows to give Jose Mourinho 100% dedication as Real Madrid initiates disciplinary proceedings against the defender. The 23-year-old has admitted to committing several serious errors and is resolved to putting them behind him by devoting all his efforts to football. His primary goal is to win back Mourinho’s confidence and regain his place within Real Madrid’s plans.

Asencio's troubles began on August 16 when he was stopped at a breathalyser checkpoint in southern Gran Canaria, failing both initial and secondary tests due to alcohol consumption. The results exceeded the legal limit, leading to disciplinary proceedings against the defender. Real Madrid imposed a €14,400 fine, equivalent to €120 per day over a four-month period, and revoked his driving licence for eight months. The club is conducting its own investigation, which could result in further penalties or sanctions.

This unfortunate incident has significantly impacted Asencio, who was already striving to establish himself under Mourinho. His future at the Santiago Bernabéu is now uncertain following Mourinho’s return to the club. Real Madrid had considered selling the defender, but an earlier injury in the summer thwarted such plans.

Now, Asencio faces an additional challenge as Mourinho’s leadership in the dressing room becomes vital for his recovery. Mourinho’s calm demeanor in managing the team has allowed Asencio to make a personal commitment to focus solely on his career, enhance his skills, and move beyond the mistakes that have drawn attention to him.

For now, Asencio must demonstrate reliability both on and off the pitch as Mourinho evaluates his squad and determines which players fit into his strategic plans. Despite already being considered for a spot, the recent incident has created an extra hurdle for Asencio to overcome.
