Two friendlies, no goals, and a Real Madrid that was silent when he was on the pitch. Endrick’s debut with the Merengues was rather timid, but the new Brazilian prodigy made his mark with a small bridge over Inigo Martinez that will delight this fringe of football fans who get excited over five-second videos.
In the meantime, Carlo Ancelotti is rather excited because he saw it. “He has something special. He is able to reach maximum speed in space, he is very skillful. It is very rare to see a player like that.”appreciates the experienced Italian coach.
For his part, Thibaut Courtois sees something of Eden Hazard in Endrick, in his way of being a disconcertingly small build, “very strong on his legs”The Belgian goalkeeper also praises the quality of the young Brazilian striker’s shot, but he allows himself to give him some advice. “I think he mostly needs to calm down a little bit. I don’t know if he’s a little nervous. It’s going to get better every time.”
