“Real Madrid is the biggest club in the world, but not everyone can play there. There is life outside”philosopher Mariano Diaz, former scorer for Real Madrid and OL, now at Alavés. Do you see the parallel happening? Mariano Diaz had shone with Olympique Lyonnais, because he was blocked at Real Madrid by, among others, Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, before returning through the front door to Casa Blanca, where he did not manage to impose himself despite everything. Today, it is Endrick, who is languishing on the sidelines, who could join OL on loan (Mariano had been transferred to him, signed a 5-year contract, with a buyout clause in favor of Real Madrid).
And Mariano did not advise him otherwise. “If Endrick ends up leaving, or if a player who doesn’t play a lot has to go play overseas, I would tell him to make the most of it, to appreciate the fact that if he’s a starter in the team, it’s the best thing that can happen to him.”assured Mariano Diaz to The Athletic. “You have to prove yourself when you are trusted, because it’s not the same when you only play a few minutes every three games. You can’t prove your worth in a few minutes. But if we trust you and you are a starter, that’s where we can prove a lot of things. In this specific case, if he (Endrick) leaves, he could also return to Madrid. » Mariano Diaz scored 18 goals in Ligue 1 during the 2017-2018 season, before being bought for €33 million by Real Madrid.
