Real Madrid recruited Endrick as one of the most notable youth acquisitions in recent memory, with teams like as Barcelona already interested in the player. Endrick has impressed with his football at a very young age, and he quickly drew the attention of those at Los Blancos.
In his first season at the club, the player has not been able to find the minutes he was seeking for at his previous team in Brazil. The player is still in his early stages of development, working with a very experienced management.
Some prior rumors said that the player was considering a loan move at the end of the season in order to gain consistency and more minutes in order to make the Brazil World Cup team in 2026. However, some sources stated that he was satisfied with his predicament, realizing how tough it is to maintain consistent minutes at a club with so much on the line and an explosive forward line already present.
Carlo Ancelotti speaks about Endrick
In the press conference before the Copa Del Rey match against Real Sociedad, the Italian manager was asked about Endrick's lack of minutes, and he responded optimistically.
Ancelotti said, "He's not worried; he's happy, working hard, and when I can, I'll give him minutes. He's always taken advantage of them, and I see him at ease. Tomorrow, he'll have a chance because he did very well in the Cup."
The manager also emphasized how common and crucial it is for a player, regardless of his ability or the team's reliance on him, to sit on the bench in some games or in the start of their Madrid career in order to build history at the club.
He said, "It depends on many things. Beyond competition, there's nothing missing. It's a matter of competition. Players who are extremely high quality. I think the history of this club shows that many starters have sat on the bench for a long time. Vinicius, for a couple of years, Rodrygo, Valverde, Camavinga. If you want to be at Real Madrid, it's customary to sit on the bench for a bit."
The foregoing statement contains no false words. Cutting into Real Madrid's final 11 cannot and should not be simple. Only the top players in the group make it onto the pitch, so the youth must be patient. The club trusts them, which is why they have been given the white badge so early in their careers. The greatest achievements are possible with patience and resilience.
