Carlo Ancelotti, the Italian coach of Real Madrid, is planning to surprise his Brazilian player, Endrick Felipe, similar to the way he surprised Turkish player Arda GΓΌler in a recent match against Liverpool. Both Endrick and GΓΌler have faced limited playing time this season, often staying on the bench for extended periods. However, Ancelotti made the bold decision to start GΓΌler against Liverpool and is now considering doing the same with Endrick in Sundayβs upcoming La Liga match against Getafe.
Endrickβs performance has shown significant improvement, earning him more chances on the field. While he had previously been sidelined, this may soon change, as Ancelotti plans to include him in the starting lineup against Getafe. This decision comes after Brahim DΓazβs recent injury issues following the Liverpool match and the return of Rodrigo Goes from injury.
With VinΓcius JΓΊnior unavailable for the Getafe game, Ancelotti is expected to position Kylian MbappΓ© on the left wing, which could open the door for Endrick to play as a center-forward. Endrick is eager for more playing time and believes he has earned it, a sentiment shared by the clubβs sporting management, who see him as a constant threat to opposition defenses whenever he takes the field.
