After the 1-2 pre-season loss to Barcelona, Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois spoke about new signing Endrick.
Courtois said: “Endrick is very powerful and has a lot of impact. Maybe he needs to be a bit calmer. I’m not saying he’s nervous, but it’s normal to be nervous playing for Real Madrid in important games. But you can see in training that he’s a great goalscorer and has a lot of power.”
“He’s not tall, but he has very strong legs. It reminds me of Eden Hazard when I was at Chelsea, he also had strong legs. You kick him, and he’s still standing. He also shoots with power, I’ve seen him shoot really hard in training. The important thing is I think he needs to be a bit calmer, I don’t know if he’s a little bit nervous, but he will get better and better.”
Meanwhile, Courtois also confirmed the progress made by Turkish talent Arda Güler compared to last season. He added: “Güler is a different person compared to last year. After his knee injury, he trained a lot in the gym, and now you can see that his physical condition is completely different. He’s got good running ability and is good in passing. We have many good players who will be competing for a place, which is why Real Madrid can win any trophy.”
