According to AS, Carlo Ancelotti will manage Endrick’s playing time to avoid him following in the footsteps of Roque at Barcelona.
Real Madrid paid Palmeiras a total of €60 million to secure Endrick, the “new Ronaldo”, who turned 18 last week. The club held a grand unveiling ceremony for him on Monday.
In order to adapt to the team as quickly as possible, Endrick, who recently participated in the Copa América with the Brazilian national team, has cut his vacation in half and will join his teammates for the pre-season in the United States on July 28th.
Both Real Madrid and Endrick are aware that they don’t want to repeat what happened to Roque at Barcelona. Barcelona brought Roque to Camp Nou prematurely, but he only played 16 games under Xavi in the past six months, starting just two of them and accumulating a total of 353 minutes. It’s clear that Roque is no longer in Barcelona’s new manager Xavi Hernandez’s plans and is currently training with the club’s youth team, seeking a transfer away this summer.
Real Madrid manager Ancelotti will carefully manage Endrick’s playing time. Another key figure in Endrick’s development will be Real Madrid’s fitness coach Antonio Pintus, whose players have impressive and unusual physiques, especially for someone just reaching adulthood. Endrick’s leg strength is comparable to that of Carlos and Ronaldo, which is like a goldmine for the club’s most successful fitness coach in history.
