It’s Christmas and the writing of But! engages in the traditional end-of-year review through the prism of the tree. For this first chapter devoted to Real Madrid, focus on a player in very difficulty: Endrick.
Arrived last summer at Real Madrid, Endrick (18 years old) was bought for 35 million euros, plus 25 million in bonuses in December 2022. The defector from Palmeiras has passed a big milestone, but his adaptation is quite difficult at this time. first part of the season. Despite two goals scored in his first matches played (against Valladolid in La Liga and Stuttgart in the LDC), he has only played 15 matches since the start of the season, for only one start (2/10 against LOSC in the LDC). ). He couldn't even take advantage of the injuries that affected Vinicius and Rodrygo in recent weeks.
In this sense, rumors of departure have started to multiply for the Brazilian striker, who has been associated with quite a few clubs: Southampton, Real Valladolid, AS Roma… However, it is not yet time to think about a departure for Endrick, who wants to prove to Carlo Ancelotti that he deserves to have playing time for the rest of the season. But if the situation does not change, he could actually consider leaving.
Endrick will still have to work
We also remember the words of Carlo Ancelotti, on the evening of December 1 after the victory against Getafe, which had the merit of being clear: “Endrick must work. He didn't come into play because Mbappé was too dangerous and the others were doing well too. He will be ready for the next match. If I think Endrick is the right player to win, he will play.” A statement on which he was led to respond a few days later.
“When I say he has to work, it’s not a criticism because he’s doing well. He is very young and has just arrived at Real Madrid, which has the best players in the world. We must be patient. He doesn’t ask for anything, does well and just has to keep learning to get better.” By comparing Ancelotti's comments and Endrick's rather starving playing time, we can easily understand that the 18-year-old player will have to show even more if he wishes to shake up the hierarchy…
