Carlo Ancelotti has noted that Brazilian talent Endrick is still in the process of acclimating to Real Madrid, indicating that he may need more time to showcase his potential. With just 58 minutes of playing time in nine La Liga matches and only one start in all competitions since his transfer from Palmeiras the last summer.
Carlo Ancelotti's statement on Endrick
When asked about the possibility of the 18-year-old starting in the upcoming match against Getafe on Sunday, Ancelotti emphasized that Endrick will play when he believes he is the best fit to help secure a victory.
Despite some speculation regarding a potential loan move in January—rumoured to be of interest to clubs like Southampton and Roma—Real Madrid is currently focused on keeping him on the squad for the time being.
Ancelotti has indicated that Endrick will not be starting on Sunday; however, he will be counting on him to make impact if given the opportunity.
"If I think Endrick tomorrow is the ideal player to win the game he will play. In many years of my career, only one year has been quite easy, last year. All the other years I have had to solve problems, sooner or later the problems come. It’s impossible to think of a season like last year when everything went perfectly." Ancelotti said.
“It’s better to find the problem in November or December than in April or May, when you’re dead. Now the problem can be solved and, as I said, we are going to solve it. We are fighting for the league against a rival that is doing very well." Ancelotti added.
“The Intercontinental Cup is coming, the Super Cup… and the injured players are coming back. Soon Alaba and Camavinga will be back… We have to endure the moment with a good attitude and commitment, because the good things are yet to come.” he added in interview.
