Real Madrid is still getting to know Endrick. At just 18 years old and with a bright future ahead of him, the young Brazilian is making a success of his debut at the biggest club in the world. Despite being a substitute behind the trio Vinicius-Mbappé-Rodrygo (20 minutes of play in 5 appearances), he has just scored his second goal in his new colours. In the Champions League, no less, against Stuttgart, even though Vinicius and Mbappé were offering themselves left and right. The logic of the game would have been to give rather than shoot from 25 metres.
Well helped by Alexander Nübel’s handball, the choice to strike hard was ultimately the right one. Even Carlo Ancelotti was surprised after the match.He has balls. Because it was a counter and he had the courage to shoot. (…) The best solution was to take advantage of the three against one, but he was convinced. He did it very well. It was the most complicated solution, but it worked very well for him.“This stroke of genius, described as madness by some in the press, was praised at Real Madrid.

The Spanish club sees him as a great mastery of emotions and a player capable of evolving within it. Better than that, he is seen as the perfect player to replace one of the three front three attackers at short notice. Endrick should also be quickly given the crazy schedule.He’s going to start one of the next games, and he’s going to start in many games at Real Madrid. It’s pretty obvious with his qualities. He’s a humble boy, he doesn’t talk much and works hard. I like that a lot.” confessed the Italian coach yesterday in front of the press.
Sweat, humility and the art of improvisation, Endrick does not only have talent to highlight. He knows full well that to make a place for himself in this squad, he must score, show his efficiency and not hesitate to take his chances when he has the opportunity, like against Stuttgart.He is very efficient, his strike surprised everyone” said a club source to Brand. His spontaneity and freshness also bring a bit of novelty to a dressing room full of already successful stars. He has not yet won anything, starting with a place in the starting eleven. Tonight against Espanyol?
