Endrick impresses his head coach in Real Madrid debut

Brazilian teenager Endrick made his Real Madrid debut in a 1-0 friendly defeat against AC Milan.

The game played at Chicago’s Soldier Field in front of almost 62,000 people, highlighted the debut of the 18-year-old striker despite the absence of several of Los Blancos’ key footballers, including Kylian Mbappé, Vini Jr., Jude Bellingham, and Rodrygo.

The Brazilian had only 1 shot on goal in his 45 minutes before being subbed at halftime as head coach Carlo Ancelotti wants to give opportunity to as many players as possible.

“Endrick is a footballer who has something truly special,” the Real Madrid manager claimed. “The Brazilian is very fast, very dangerous in tight spaces, has the ability to turn with speed in little space, very agile in getting himself free and all these qualities he has leave no doubt how much potential Endrick has. You can’t see a footballer with all these type of skills at such a young age.”
