Endrick activates beast mode

Nothing scares Endrick. Neither PSG, nor the Parc des Princes. The young Brazilian put in a complete performance: goal, assist and defensive work that reflected his evolution in recent weeks. From their surroundings they summarized it like this: “This match was marked on your calendar. Beast mode activated”.

“I am very happy for the goal and the assist. Scoring, assisting and defending well takes a lot of work”he explained after the match in ‘Ligue 1+’. However, its growth is not measured only in numbers. Also in his involvement without the ball, an aspect on which he has insisted Paulo Fonseca. “It has been decisive, but I am even more happy with how he has worked in defense for the team”said the Lyon coach.

Accept your coach’s challenge

A few days ago, Fonseca asked him for more commitment. Endrick then began to have less prominence, coming off the bench. However, he responded as he knows best. He lowered his head, got to work and his improvement was immediate. He attended again, regained ownership and reinforced his role on the team. “There is no problem with the coach. I never get angry about it, I take refuge in work. I must give a response on the field”stated the forward.

Beyond performance, the change is also in its position. Real Madrid no longer sees him only as a 9, not even like the footballer to give Mbappé a rest. In Lyon he is standing out starting from the right wing, where His speed and overflow allow him to be more decisive. A versatility opens wide the doors of ownership in Chamartín, a position that is currently looking for a permanent owner.

The definitive reconversion

The data supports its impact. He scored in his debut after 42 minutes, gave an assist in his second game and scored a hat-trick in the third. The message came strongly to Valdebebas. He currently has seven goals and seven assists (14 goal involvements), key figures for the Olympique Lyonnais aspire to return to the Champions League six seasons later. In France, they see him as much more mature and with clearer ideas. Even the post game, where has been able to address the press in fluent French in less than four monthshas served to continue praising his acclimatization to the French league.

The loan ends on June 30 and Real Madrid’s plan is for him to return this summer to fight for a place in the eleven.. Something that would cause the exit of Gonzalo Garcia to follow the same formula. The club maintains its commitment to the Brazilian, for whom it paid 50 million euros to Palmeiras in 2024. His development follows a well-known line in the club, with previous loans of players such as Lucas Vázquez, Casemiro or Dani Carvajal before settling into the first team.
