Real Madrid Confidencial Endrick remembers Benzema after receiving the '9' and responds in the moment: 'I'm...'
The Brazilian conveys an important message during the delicate moment he is experiencing
Real Madrid has already put an end to one of the biggest sagas of the summer regarding its squad. Mbappé inherited Modric's number "10" and left the "9" vacant, raising questions about who would get it. In the end, it's Endrick who will wear a number that Benzema has also worn.
The Brazilian faces a major challenge since it's a number with great significance at Real Madrid. Di Stéfano, Santillana, Hugo Sánchez, Suker, Morientes, Ronaldo, and Benzema are some of those who have worn it. Endrick will be a different case, which perhaps can only be compared to Karim.
The rest have always worn it after already being established international footballers. Benzema arrived as a young player and became a star as the "9" of the white team. That's what Endrick intends, who has a long way to go to prove that he's up to the task.
Perhaps that's why the Brazilian forward wanted to remember Benzema after receiving Real Madrid's "9". "I'm ready for the challenge, I'm going to do my best to make history at Real Madrid" he confessed to those close to him. That's what sources close to Defensa Central have confirmed to us about how he's experiencing this moment.
Injured but with the club's trust
Endrick hasn't had a good time in his first season at Real Madrid with Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian hasn't given him many minutes, which has led to speculation about whether his future might be outside the team. This has been speculated during the preseason, especially after Gonzalo's emergence.
All this with Endrick injured since the final stretch of the last La Liga, and with weeks ahead before he can play. That made his situation complicated for the upcoming season at Real Madrid. But in the end, he stays to try to turn his current situation around.
He has the club's support, since he was a strategic signing in which they invested a lot of money. They trust that this season he can start to show all the potential he has. Something similar to what's happening with Arda Güler, who has stepped up.
