His arrival was logically somewhat overshadowed by that of Kylian Mbappé, but for many observers, Endrick has the talent to one day rise to the level of the Bondynois or players like his compatriot Vinicius Junior. Arrived thanks to Juni Calafat, the scout of South American nuggets of the White House, the player trained at Palmeiras played during the pre-season matches, taking advantage of the absences of stars who had participated in an international competition but had not necessarily had the opportunity to show their best face.
But since the return of the starting attackers and the start of serious things, he has not returned to the pitch. He did not play a single minute in the European Super Cup against Atalanta, just as he did not play against Mallorca in La Liga, and this when Carlo Ancelotti’s team needed to score. Although it was obvious that he was not going to be a starter, the Italian coach still preferred players like Brahim Diaz or Arda Güler to come off the bench.
He is not up to par
A clear message to the Canarinha player. As indicated RelevoEndrick is, for the moment, not in Carlo Ancelotti’s plans. The Italian does not count on him, and internally, in Madrid, it is estimated that the player’s adaptation will be slow and complicated. The staff believes that he still has to progress on a physical, technical and tactical level to claim a place in the rotation of the first team of the club from the Spanish capital.
This is quite normal, considering that he is a very young player who has just arrived from Brazil, but many were already expecting to see him pick up a few minutes here and there. In view of this information from the Spanish press, it is very likely that he will also watch Real Madrid’s next matches entirely from the bench. And who knows, perhaps the hypothesis of a loan to pick up playing time elsewhere, mentioned by AS earlier this week, might be the best option for him…
