Endrick's situation at Real Madrid is a topic of debate within the club. Despite his enormous potential, the young Brazilian isn't getting the amount of playing time he expected. This has created uncertainty about his future at the institution. Carlo Ancelotti has pointed out that Endrick is the most affected one, as he hasn't found his place in the first team.
Endrick's Lack of Playing Time
Since his arrival at Real Madrid, Endrick has struggled to secure a spot in the starting eleven. The club promised he wouldn't play with the reserves but, in reality, he's had few opportunities in the first team. In matches dominated by Madrid, the forward has been relegated to the bench or only played during stoppage time.
The club had considered the option of having him play at the Alfredo Di Stéfano stadium, so he could continue growing and gain rhythm. This option, however, seems to have been ruled out. He was promised not to play with the reserves, which limits his opportunities to showcase his talent.
Lack of Adaptation to LaLiga
Endrick, meanwhile, hasn't given up. Despite the few minutes, he continues to train at his best and is determined to adapt to Real Madrid's play style. The young forward knows he needs to understand the tactical concepts necessary to succeed in LaLiga and in Ancelotti's system.
However, the coaching staff still believes the Brazilian needs to improve in certain aspects before he can take on greater responsibilities. Sources close to the team assure that, in Madrid's current play style, Endrick wouldn't shine as expected.
The Competition in Madrid's Offense
The competition for a spot in Real Madrid's offense is fierce. With players like Mbappé, Vinícius Jr., and Rodrygo ahead of him, it's very difficult for Endrick to get minutes.
At 18 years old, the Brazilian has a lot to learn and a tough battle ahead to earn his place. His frustration is understandable, as in matches where Madrid was winning comfortably, he wasn't given more minutes.
Endrick's Future at Madrid
Despite the current situation, within the club, there's no doubt that Endrick will eventually succeed at Real Madrid. His power, physique, and shot are exceptional qualities for a player of his age. It's expected that, over time, he'll improve in other aspects of the game and become a more complete player.
It's likely that Ancelotti will give him more minutes at some point, as all players need to rotate to avoid muscle injuries.
