Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that young forward Endrick will not be departing the club during the January transfer window. Ancelotti addressed the situation, stating that his selection decisions are based on what he believes is best for the team, regardless of a player’s age.
Manager’s Selection Criteria
Ancelotti explained his approach to team selection, emphasising that he prioritises the team’s needs over individual player considerations. He stated, “I always choose the best line up, I don’t care if a player is 18 or 40,” highlighting his focus on performance rather than age.
Endrick’s Role at Real Madrid
The 18-year-old Brazilian forward, Endrick, has been a topic of discussion regarding his playing time at the club. Ancelotti mentioned that there are times when he feels the team requires Endrick’s skills, and other times when it does not. This indicates that Endrick’s involvement in matches is determined by tactical needs rather than any impending transfer plans.
Endrick, known for his agility and attacking prowess, joined Real Madrid from Palmeiras. His style of play is characterised by quick dribbling and an eye for goal, making him a promising talent for the future of the club.
