Endrick Attacked in El Chiringuito, Diego Plaza Leaves Him K.O.: 'For now...'

A year and a half ago, Real Madrid surprised everyone when they did it with Endrick Felipe, Brazilian soccer's new sensation at the time. The Palmeiras player was dazzling and several European teams bid to get his services.

It was Florentino Pérez, who once again trusted Juni Calafat, Madrid's talent scout, who secured Endrick's incorporation. Thanks to the head of Talent Scouting, the Meringue team acquired another young player with potential.

It was agreed with his former club that the player would continue playing in Brazil until he came of age. Something that he did this summer, just when he was presented as a new Madrid player. The center-forward has a contract until 2030.

His arrival at Chamartín sparked interest and many expectations were placed on Endrick, who, despite starting as a substitute, drew attention for his fighting character on the field.

In addition, he made the most of his few minutes and scored a couple of goals against Valladolid and Stuttgart.

However, for weeks now the relationship between Endrick and Carlo Ancelotti has cooled. To the point that the player could be feeling that he has lost his coach's trust.

Something that could have been reflected in the match against Atalanta last Tuesday, where he didn't play a single minute following Kylian Mbappé's injury.

'What does he need to play? He needs to work hard. He hasn't come on because Mbappé was being too dangerous. And the rest were also doing well. He will be ready for the next game.' That's what Ancelotti said about the young striker almost two weeks ago, in the press conference after the match against Getafe.

Borja Plaza sentences him

On 'El Chiringuito de Jugones' they recently talked about the youngest players who are making their mark.

And Diego Plaza, the expert on international soccer from the Mega space, is clear about who currently dominates among the newcomers.

'There is no player in the world like Lamine at his age. He has been at Barcelona for a year and a half and is leading the team, and on a regular basis. There is no one who can beat him,' said Plaza.

'You can't find another one, there are good players. Zaire Emery, João Neves. They don't have that ability. Estêvão, who they say is the new Brazilian sensation, we'll see when he gets to Europe.

Endrick, who is at Madrid, hasn't made his mark,' explained Plaza. The journalist claimed Yamal as the most important young player on the soccer scene at the moment.
