This is the good move of the winter transfer window for Olympique Lyonnais. At least we hope so among Les Gones and their supporters. Loaned until the end of the season by Real Madrid, Endrick arrived to strengthen the OL attack. An association that the club and the player hope is “win-win”. In the meantime, the Brazilian must still regain his full strength.
Not qualified to play in the Ligue 1 match scheduled for Saturday in Monaco (5 p.m., 17th day), the Brazilian international was still present this Friday for his second collective training session with his new teammates. The opportunity for Lyon coach, Paul Fonseca, to take stock of this arrival.
In comments relayed by L’Équipe, the Portuguese tactician initially welcomed Endrick’s first days in Lyon.
“ I find it very good. He started training this week, the adaptation is going very well. He’s a player we need, he’s different. The whole group welcomed him. I spoke with him, he is very satisfied and we are also satisfied to have him with us, with his quality. »
Endrick, it’s coming soon
However, Paulo Fonseca estimated that the Brazilian still had plenty of room for improvement before being fully operational. “He is physically good, he worked in Madrid but he is not ready to play 90 minutes. He has had good training, he is motivated. »
For Lyon supporters, we will have to wait a little longer before seeing the offensive gem debut in its new colors. It could be next January 11 against Lille, in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France.
