That's my plan," Zidane said, as quoted by Marca.  "When you have to play, play well, and I am very happy with the work he has done. "He had a complete game, not only for the goal."Asensio's emergence is likely to heighten speculation over the futures of James Rodriguez and Isco, although Zidane suggested he is broadly happy with the make-up of his squad ahead of the domestic campaign. "If we cannot sign [new players] we will not do," he added, having presided over a close-season where Madrid's famed transfer market muscle has not been in evidence. "But we have a very wide and very good squad, with very experienced players and young players. The important thing is the group."</blockquote>
