Endrick Opens Up About Limited Playing Time at Real Madrid
In a recent press conference, Real Madrid’s rising star, Endrick, shared his struggles with limited game time since joining the La Liga giants. The 18-year-old Brazilian forward, who gained attention for his impressive goal-scoring record at Palmeiras, has found opportunities hard to come by under Carlo Ancelotti.
So far, Endrick has played just 400 minutes across 22 matches this season, despite proving his efficiency with five goals—averaging one every 80 minutes. His strong goal-per-minute ratio outshines some of his more experienced teammates, yet he remains on the fringes of the squad. Reports suggest his camp is considering a loan move this summer to ensure he gets regular playing time.
Ancelotti has defended his decision, stressing the importance of easing young talents into the squad. He explained that introducing Endrick during unstable periods could hinder his growth, emphasizing the need for a stable environment to nurture emerging players.
With Real Madrid’s attacking lineup featuring stars like Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior, and Rodrygo, breaking into the starting XI has been a tough challenge for Endrick.
Despite the obstacles, the young forward remains focused on proving himself. He continues to train hard, hoping to earn more minutes, either by convincing the coaching staff or securing a loan move that would provide the game time he needs for his development.
