Xabi Alonso called Endrick yesterday, the player ended up crying because of what he said: ‘I don’t want you…
The young Brazilian was moved to tears after a heartfelt message from Real Madrid’s incoming manager following his injury setback
As Real Madrid prepares to transition from the Ancelotti era to the leadership of Xabi Alonso, emotions are running high—especially for rising star Endrick. The Brazilian wonderkid, recently confirmed to have suffered a hamstring tendon injury in his right leg, will miss the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup in the United States.
Real Madrid issued a statement noting that Endrick’s condition is “pending evolution,” a phrase that indicates uncertainty over recovery time. The timing is particularly painful, as it means Endrick will be unavailable for one of the club’s most high-profile events of the year.
Xabi Reaches Out with a Message of Support
Despite not having officially taken charge yet, Xabi Alonso is already acting like Real Madrid’s new leader. Following news of Endrick’s injury, Alonso personally called the 17-year-old to offer reassurance.
“I don’t want to see you sad. You won’t play in the Club World Cup, but you have our trust and the club’s trust… we’re counting on you for the preseason,” said Alonso during the emotional conversation.
The words struck a chord with Endrick, who was already emotionally distraught over missing the tournament. The supportive call left the teenager in tears—torn between disappointment and gratitude.
Alonso’s Leadership Already Taking Shape
With the Club World Cup on the horizon and a thin squad due to injuries and transitions, Alonso faces a challenging start. But his early actions show he’s already focused on team unity, morale, and long-term vision.
While Carlo Ancelotti will say his final goodbye to the Santiago Bernabéu this weekend in a tribute match against Real Sociedad, Alonso is already laying the groundwork for a new chapter. That chapter includes not only the Club World Cup but the 2025–26 season and beyond—a period when Real Madrid aims to regain its edge in Spain and Europe.
Endrick may not be available now, but Alonso’s message makes it clear: the future belongs to him, and he’s very much part of the plan.
