It arrived last summer preceded by a flattering reputation, that of a Brazilian phenomenon promised to the brightest future in the Real Madrid jersey. But after less than a season in the Spanish capital, Endrick (18) would already seem tired of his status and ready to question his Madrid adventure. Announced as a future Taulier, the young attacker would poorly support his low playing time and would have taken a radical decision which is akin to a real rebellion, or perhaps already to a first renunciation in the face of the very high level requirement.
Information, revealed by the Spanish media Readeris enough to surprise: Endrick, frustrated by his drop-in apparitions (barely 700 minutes played in 33 games in all competitions, despite 7 goals and 1 decisive pass), would be determined to look for an exit door this summer, in the form of a loan. Even more surprising, the young Brazilian would have expressed this desire to leave the club, at least temporarily, in his management several months ago! A proactive approach which testifies to a great impatience and a desire not to wait for his time on the Madrid bench.
Endrick refuses the fight against Mbappé & Vinicius? He asks to leave!
It must be said that the beginnings of Endrick at Real are far from being idyllic. Beyond fierce competition in attack (Mbappé, Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo), the young prodigy has not yet fully convinced Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian coach had also publicly resumed it after his first tenure in La Liga against Getafe (where he only played an hour), accusing him of “Do theater” Rather than seeking efficiency. Between the doubts of the coach and the presence of superstars in front of him, the path to a place of holder promises to be long and strewn with pitfalls.
Endrick rings the revolt: the young prodigy ready to flee Real Madrid?
Faced with this observation, Endrick's loan request can be interpreted in different ways. Is it the sign of a commendable ambition to want to play at all costs to progress? Or is it, as some might think, a way of giving up prematurely? Rather than fighting on a daily basis in training to win your place, to prove to Ancelotti that he can adapt to the requirements of Real, Endrick would choose the way, perhaps easier, of a loan to obtain guarantees of playing time elsewhere? This “rebellion” questions its ability to face competition and pressure inherent in Real Madrid.
This desire to start, even temporary, formulated so early in his Madrid adventure, is a first unexpected pressure on the part of the young Brazilian. If nothing has yet been decided as to its future and the club's response, this approach casts a doubt about its determination to impose itself over time within one of the most demanding clubs in the world. Real Madrid was waiting for a crack, he may be with a young pressed talent … and already ready to look elsewhere.
