Napoli, Marco Asensio starring in Aston Villa jersey: for Napoli it may be a big regret, he could have worn blue
Napoli, hai visto che Asensio? Perché poteva vestire l’azzurro ed è un rimpianto – SerieAnews
Aston Villa has clinched the quarterfinals of the Champions League. The Emery-coached team eliminated Brugge – Atalanta’s executioners – with a clear 3-0 win in the return match that in fact has no alibi for the Belgians. The success carries a specific name and surname, that of Marco Asensio.
The Spanish outfielder was the real star of the match with a brace and high school plays that charmed just about everyone. Without any doubt it can be said how he was the dragging force behind the Birmingham team. And now the English dream big, even a resounding semifinal.
Marco Asensio is undoubtedly the surplus of an organized team with a good game. The class of ’96 is giving performances with excellent continuity, the likes of which we have not seen in a long time. He senses Emery’s trust and is increasingly decisive. The coach since his arrival in January has put him in the ideal conditions to make him perform at his best and now he is definitely reaping the rewards.
Asensio, che numeri all’Aston Villa: provvidenziale l’addio al PSG
Marco Asensio started the season with Paris Saint Germain. In Ligue 1, however, he had not shined, with just two goals in 16 appearances and intermittent use by Luis Enrique. And with the arrival of Kvaratskhelia from Napoli, spaces had been further reduced for the player, who was put on the market.

And so in January began his adventure with the Villans there where he is showcasing his enormous talent. Double against Cardiff in the FA Cup, double against Chelsea and double again yesterday with Brugge also castigated in the first leg match with a goal.
That makes a total of seven goals in eight games, a devastating impact that perhaps no one would have expected. And the goal average is crazy: one goal every 55′ considering the 383′ played since he has worn the Birmingham club’s jersey. He-more than Rashford, another winter purchase-is pushing Aston Villa up the standings and now fifth place (more than enough to go to the Champions League given the club’s Uefa Ranking) is just two points away.
Asensio al Napoli al posto di Kvara: la migliore ipotesi possibile
And who knows, Asensio’s performance may have left some regrets in Naples. As recalled, in fact, the Spanish fantasist gave way to Kvaratskhelia in PSG’s squad. Al Khelaifi shelled out 75 million to sign the Georgian and entrust him with the number 7 jersey orphaned by Mbappé.

Well, the Parthenopeans identified Garnacho as the ideal replacement for Kvara from the very beginning, but failed to acquire him. The great opportunity, however, was indeed before their eyes. In the deal that brought the Georgian to Paris, Napoli could have asked for Asensio himself as a partial quid pro quo.
Perhaps not the outright purchase of the player but a six-month onerous loan somewhat like what happened with Milan for Okafor. Certainly Asensio would ignite the Maradona crowd with his shots and class and, as demonstrated in the Aston Villa shirt, he is capable of making a difference.
PSG should have been involved in the Spaniard’s signing, but Conte would certainly have had a more than sharpened weapon in the title fight to contend with Inter and Atalanta.
