Endrick’s awakening: “I didn’t expect more, Carletto knows what he’s doing very well…”

It was a trademark goal. Endrick He turned around, didn’t think about it and hit the ball as he knows how. An unstoppable cross missile that made it 3-2 when the game was headed to penalties because it was already in the second half of extra time. He made a good pass laughs and the Brazilian did not forgive. It was his best night in white, because he closed the account with another backheel goal. A double and a boost for the young striker that helps him send a direct message to the heart of the white coaching staff.

Endrick had entered in the second half for Mbappé. Everything seemed calm with the score at 2-0, but then Celta’s goals came thanks to Madrid’s concessions. Endrick’s missile had to appear and right after that Valverde to calm down. The one who gets the pearl goal is the Brazilian, who has been seeking to vindicate himself for a long time.. After a start to the season with flashes like tonight, his contribution had ended up being practically nil. “I didn’t expect more, Carletto knows what he’s doing very well. He’s not going to do what’s best for Endrick, he’s doing what’s best for the team.. If the team needs Kylian, VIni and Rodry, they will be there. If you need Arda, it will be there. If you need me, I’ll be there. I have to work, nothing more. You know well that if you don’t do your job well you’re out. I am grateful to the coach, because he knows that I am working, he sees in my face that I am eager.“, confessed the Brazilian after his first double with Madrid.

Clear message… to the coaching staff

Everything had started perfectly for the Brazilian when the season started. In the short time he was on the field, four minutes into the second matchday against Valladolid, he scored. He also made his debut with a goal in the whites’ first Champions League match against Stuttgart. Ten minutes were enough for him to score. But that’s where it all ended. The forward appeared little and faded away. Ancelotti, in a press conference before the end of the year, said that the forward had to work harder to play. On vacation he got his act together and tonight seemed like a good time, with minutes left. “Of course it’s hard to play two or three minutes, but I’ve always had one thing in mind since I played for Palmeiras. If I play two minutes I’m going to give everything for the team”.

Endrick scored a key goal. It wasn’t easy and it came when Madrid needed it most. He took off his shirt and celebrated in style. And there was still one more bomb. This time with subtlety, with a backheel to take advantage of the dead ball in the area. Endrick is already here. “I continue working every day, these two goals are for Antonio Rüdiger, he knows what he does with me every day. He never gives me a compliment and this is good for me. He liked me. Tell me what I have to do, that I have to run, fight, score. Yesterday in training he gave me a tough game and I thought at home that he has been a great person, and these two goals are for him“, says the Brazilian about a teammate who has marked him daily to help him in his football growth.
