Spain coach Luis Enrique admitted that Marco Asensio is still a long way off his best, but is confident he will keep on getting better.
"You know I love Marco Asensio. He's playing well although a way off how he can play, but I've got confidence in him," Luis Enrique said in the press conference ahead of the Netherlands match.
He added: "It's true that he was coming back from an injury, but he is now playing for his team as well. I can say a lot about him, but the facts are what are important at the end of the day."
"I consider Marco to be a very good player. My decisions are based on many hours of study and I know that they won't be liked by everyone," he concluded.
