The Madrid boss added: "As for carrying the team, here at Real Madrid all of us carry the team -- from the fans to the president, directors, coaching staff, medical staff, players... each and every one of us who loves Real Madrid carries the team… Every has responsibility and a role to fullfil."
In this sense, asked about Asensio's role, the Argentine added: "It's the same as his teammates. Everyone has their own responsibility. The responsibility of the players is to speak on the pitch. Everyone has to demonstrate their value each time they touch the ball."
