Endrick stays away from noise and criticism towards Ancelotti

Fnew talents raise as many expectations as the Brazilians Victor Roque (2005) and Endrick Felipe (2006) after take the plunge into European football. They were said to be the faces of Real Madrid and Barcelona in the years to come, but the reality turned out to be very different. The first didn't fit Xavi's plans, who didn't ask for his signature and ended up giving more minutes to young playersand the latter suffers terribly to get minutes in Ancelotti's project during his first season with Los Blancos.

It was expected that 2024 would be the starting signal to take advantage of the first battle of a rivalry that should have been full of goals and talent. It was understood that they would go hand in hand throughout their careers, but the search for the throne of Spanish football's number nine will have to wait. The “hype” was so great that no one dared to put a ceiling on either of the two young talents: fast, strong, explosive and dribbling. They shared the same dream, a different shirt, which now seems almost more like a nightmare.

Looking for an escape from the “Tigrinho” affair

Vitor Roque's first spell at Barcelona, ​​and it remains to be seen if there will be a second, lasted just eight months, when the striker left the Blaugrana to complete a loan spell at Real Betis. Two goals, 16 games and only 353 minutes played, the Brazilian striker saw the door close in his face at Barcelona. It took him a few minutes to get up to speed and acclimatize to La Liga, which is why he was loaned out, and at Barcelona his involvement was minimal, which is something Endrick doesn't want to happen to him.

“Since I've known Barça, I don't remember such an ugly and violent attack against an 18-year-old. I don't know where it comes from, I don't know if it's an attack on me or the club, but it was attacked with malice, it was attacked very strongly, without any sense, without any reason”, confessed Deco about the harsh and incomprehensible attacks suffered by Vitor Roque in Barcelona. Endrick remedied that too, moving away from the noise and criticism of Ancelotti who “always” relied on the same players… and focused on the day-to-day work until his opportunity presented itself. These are not very different cases because the “attacks” are not directly directed against the Brazilian from Madrid, but against a coach who never stops giving opportunities to young pearls.

Madrid number 16 faces the logical processthere are always exceptions which prove the rule, namely that a player as young as him has to face when he sets foot on Real Madrid territory. Endrick is aware of this and knows that his time will come, but also that it's time to keep your head down, without making noise but without stopping working. Taking advantage of the opportunities that come your way is one of the keys to ensuring that everything continues to flow. And that's where his personality comes into play, like against Stuttgart. That day, he entered the field in the 80th minute, until then he had only scored one goal in 10 minutes, and left the field with another goal to his name.the last one he scored to date. His last-minute 'selfishness' perfectly sums up how keen he is to impress at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium. He didn't look at anyone and fired the gun in an attempt to bring the prey home.. Actions like this, if they go well of course, are what usually makes the Santiago Bernabeu stadium fall in love with a player. The transition phase he is going through at Real Madrid, a natural adaptation process that takes time, also does not leave him the possibility of traveling with his national team.
