Still 0 appearances this season! TA: Real Madrid stresses that Enderrick needs to be patient until the opportunity comes

The 19-year-old Real Madrid youngster Endrick has not played in an official game for 5 months and has not been called up by the Brazilian national team for 3 consecutive international matches. Sources familiar with the player's situation at Real Madrid revealed to The Athletic that Alonso had told Endrick before that it would be difficult for him to get stable playing time with the team in the new season, but the player still chose to stay at Real Madrid.

TA Real Madrid reporter Mario Cortegana said in the latest report that Endrick left a good impression on the club in his first season as a Real Madrid player, and this period has always been regarded as a stage of adaptation and learning. Throughout the year, especially when players think they can play a bigger role, club management will use the numbers of other young players in their first seasons to prove to Endrick that he is on the right path.

Behind the scenes, it is generally believed that Ancelotti's cautious attitude towards young players is a key factor that has limited Endrick's playing time, and Alonso's arrival is seen as an opportunity for the team's young players, but this does not seem to be the case for Endrick. His two injuries have greatly affected him. Although there have been reports that Endrick may transfer this summer, people close to the player have always denied that there have been relevant negotiations.

It wasn't until August that Endrick finally received some exciting news: he would become Real Madrid's new No. 9. The experts involved in Ndrick's recovery have also helped him better understand his physical condition. The muscle injury suffered at Palmeiras, coupled with two injuries in recent months, means that he will need time to fully recover. In mid-September, club insiders said that Alonso and his team have been paying close attention to Endrick's progress, but it may still be difficult to get a chance to play.

Endrick returned to the team roster in the game against Espanyol on September 20, but he failed to get a chance to play in that game and the following 4 La Liga and Champions League games. Ndrick is currently spending the rest of the international match at home in Madrid. Sources close to the players said that Ancelotti, who is currently leading the Brazilian national team, actually appreciates Ndrick. The player should strive to get more playing time so that he can be included in the national team lineup before next year's World Cup.

People close to Endrick said that they decided to stick to the original plan and re-evaluate the player's situation in January to ensure that he has the greatest chance of entering the Brazilian team's World Cup squad. If more game time is needed, that could mean he is loaned out for the second half of the season. Endrick's agent Freitas once revealed to TA that Endrick is confident that he will return to the game soon. Real Madrid has emphasized that Endrick, who has just turned 19, is mature, focused and talented, but he needs to remain patient until the opportunity comes.
