Endrick Talks in Madrid’s Language, Announces Club Plans with Mbappé: ‘Playing with Greats…’

Endrick implicitly confesses Mbappé’s arrival at Real Madrid and shares his thoughts on playing alongside him.

“To be alongside great players and compete for a spot with them can only make me better,” confesses the Brazilian player in an interview with the newspaper As.

The Palmeiras footballer, who will join Real Madrid’s ranks in July, confesses that Mbappé will be his teammate, after being asked about the possible arrival of the Frenchman at the Madrid club.

Endrick asserts that being alongside great players will help him improve and reach a higher level. “The possible arrival of Mbappé, could it be a threat?” they asked him. “In a winning team, no player is a threat to another. The best club in the world always has to seek the best in every position, always. Being alongside great players and competing for a spot with them only serves to make me better, reach a higher level, and win more titles, because the club’s titles are the important objectives,” said the Palmeiras player.

Endrick, who will compete in the Copa América this summer with the Brazilian national team, knows perfectly well what awaits him at Real Madrid: maximum demand.

And it seems he is prepared for it. The club does not consider Kylian Mbappé’s arrival a threat.

Endrick will have to adapt to a new country and a new style of football starting in July; the club will not put pressure on him. Both could be compatible in the future. For now, the most important thing is for the Brazilian player to adapt as quickly as possible to European football and living in another country, with a different culture and customs, as this will be fundamental to his football performance.

Real Madrid knows that it would be detrimental to put undue pressure on an 18-year-old, in whom they have placed many hopes, just as they did with Arda Güler, who patiently waited for his chance and seized it in the best way.

Endrick awaits a similar path to stardom; he is the best forward project to come out of Brazil since Ronaldo Nazario.
