Real Madrid, traveling to the Estadio Municipal Cartagonova on Monday to face the Deportiva Minera, has ensured the essential. Despite some adjustments in the composition of the’team, the Merengue have largely won 5-0, thanks in particular to a double of’Arda Guler, which has still made a strong impression. If several young people of the reserve, especially in defense, responded present, Endrick, very expected in attack, did not’a found the path of the nets. Caught in the offensive competition, the 18-year-old Brazilian missed several important opportunities early in the game.
Ancelotti chose not to criticize his player severely
Ancelotti drops everything on Endrick after the carton facing Minera : « It must be.. ».
In a match where everything seemed to succeed at Real Madrid and where opportunities multiplied, the young Brazilian acted as a false note. Despite his efforts, the goal eluded him. After a conversation with Carlo Ancelotti, who advised him to remain calm and serene, as the’a reported Marca, the’ striker, who is going through a complicated period, did not succeed in inscribing this goal which would have done him the greatest good. While several Madrid observers discuss the performance of’Endrick, Carlo Ancelotti praised the performance of his young striker, even if’il did not score.
« Endrick’s? It is true that scoring a goal is an important aspect. He played a good match. His movements were efficient, his performance was very good, and when I’ai placed him on the right side, he was efficient. He has to be patient, he will score goals when’il needs it, » explained Carletto at a press conference.
It must be recognized, the’ former player of Palmeiras, who had started his adventure at Real Madrid in beauty with a splendid goal against Stuttgart, lost his pace due to lack of play time. This Monday, it is also worth highlighting the remarkable performance of Fran Martinez, the goalkeeper of the Minera, who played in the’academie du Real Madrid between 2016 and 2018.
Without his many stops, which number in the dozens, the score would probably have been much more severe, and Endrick would probably have found the way to the nets. The Brazilian, who refuses a loan to get more playing time, hopes to return to his best level.
