"This kid has been here for two days, he doesn’t know how to win" - Rodriguez hits out at Asencio

Mallorca midfielder Dani Rodriguez regretted the reaction of Real Madrid youth product Raul Asencio after the third goal of the Spanish Super Cup semifinal, when he blew a kiss to his rivals after an argument, and encouraged him to “learn how to win”.

“The argument that they (Vinicius and Maffeo) have, we already know them, but in the end I encourage Asencio, with the youth that he has to have many important games in his career, to learn to win because it will be better for him. It wasn't good,” he lamented on ‘Movistar+’.

He continued in the mixed zone: “I'm a bit old and you have to know how to win. He's going to have a lot of games to learn. Maffeo gets a little heated because he gets a touch and then the kid arrives, he's been here for two days and he has to have a little more respect.”

“I think both they and we had a few disagreements, but healthy ones that stay there. I didn't like what happened with Asencio, because I had a few run-ins with Rudiger and others and it stayed there. But for a kid who hasn't known how to win for two days? He'll learn,” he said.
