Marco Asensio: "We've prepared thoroughly for Austria"
The midfielder cited Austria's danger from set-pieces as one of the areas in which Spain's Under-21s will need maximum concentration in Friday's Play-Off first leg.
"We have been working a lot on strategic moves because that's an area where they are particularly strong and they are also physically taller than us. We've looked at that part of their game and how to handle them", Asensio explained, adding that he has noticed changes to his own game since being incorprated into Zidane's first team squad on a full-time basis. Now, he says, he has no qualms at all about having a pop on goal if he is in a good position. "Maybe before, I'd instinctively lay the ball off to a colleague before shooting myself but I have convinced myself that maybe I should shoot more often. So far I have been having a lot of good fortune because the goals are going in".
