Florentino Gets Nervous About Endrick and Ancelotti Could Pay for It with Dismissal

The Madrid President reminds Ancelotti of Joselu's numbers, who arrived as a stopgap and had more prominence

Carlo Ancelotti's Management of Endrick Has Created Tensions at Real Madrid. Florentino Pérez, the club's president, is concerned about the limited playing time the young Brazilian, signed as a promise for Madrid's future, is receiving.

The Comparison of Joselu with Endrick

Endrick Has Had Limited Appearances, Accumulating Only 149 Minutes in 17 Appearances this season.  1 Goal in LaLiga and 1 Goal in the Champions League, with 0 assists. He has only shown his scoring prowess in the Cup against lower-level teams.

Florentino has discussed it with Carlo Ancelotti. He has Compared Endrick's Situation with Joselu's last season. Joselu arrived as a stopgap, for one million euros, and had a stellar role.

Joselu Scored 16 Goals in 47 Matches Coming Off the Bench. He was only a starter in 12 matches. This comparison highlights the president's frustration over the lack of opportunities for Endrick.

Ancelotti has defended his decision, arguing that Endrick Needs Time to Adapt and That the Competition in the Squad Is High. However, the pressure from the management and the expectations on the young player could influence future decisions by the Italian coach.​

Why Do Barça's Young Talents Work?

Endrick's situation reflects the challenge of integrating young talents into high-level teams, where the competition for minutes is intense. Real Madrid will have to balance the development of their promises with the demand for immediate results.

But Florentino Always Has the Lamine Yamal Argument Ready. Or Cubarsí. Why do quality 16-year-olds at Barça get the chance and make it to the national team?

The Youth Theory, These Days, No Longer Convinces Florentino Pérez, who wants to see the investment made with Endrick turn into a success.

It is true that Endrick Is Blocked by Mbappé, as true as Joselu Was Blocked by Bellingham as a false center forward. But Joselu ended up playing and Endrick did not. That's where it hurts the president.
