Places are at a premium at Real Madrid this season and young Endrick has no special privileges.
Real Madrid beat VfB Stuttgart on Tuesday night at the Santiago Bernabeu, for their first appearance in the new Champions League (3-1). A victory that took a long time to come after Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring (46e) and the equalizer of Deniz Undav (68e). Antonio Rüdiger and Endrick only sealed the fate of this duel at the end of the match (83e and 90e+5).
During the game, the nervousness of the Madrid players gradually took over the debates, like this heated explanation between Carlo Ancelotti and Vinicius Jr in the heart of the second period. And even once the victory was secured and the final whistle was blown, the tempers did not calm down on the merengue side. Witness the media outing of Rüdiger against the last scorer of the evening.
Rüdiger warns young Brazilian
Launched into the battle in the final quarter of an hour, in place of Jude Bellingham, Endrick had fire in his legs and it was alone, despite the breaches opened on his flanks by Mbappé and Vinicius, that the 18-year-old Brazilian firebrand went to score in added time, with a long-range shot poorly handled by the opposing goalkeeper.
” Endrick…sorry, Bobby Charlton (a mocking allusion to the idol of the Auriverde), This young man really has personality and character.said Rüdiger after the match, in the mixed zone. Thank God the ball went in, otherwise he would have had problems… “A joke, of course, but one that is certainly not to be taken lightly in the context of high competition observed here in Madrid.
No matter, for Carlo Ancelotti, the job was done and done well: ” On this last action, the best solution was to play this three against one. Endrick was brave because he was convinced that he would score. And that’s what he managed to do. He is capable of doing things that no one thinks of. Personally, I didn’t think he would shoot in this situation. He has this gift. The gift of being very effective. We can see that he has something special. He is a very realistic attacker.
