Endrick Surpasses Mbappé, Vinícius, and Rodrygo: The Fact That Surprises Even Ancelotti

Real Madrid Is Ready to Face Atlético de Madrid This Saturday in the Madrid classic at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.

"It's a very important match for two teams trying to win the League. The classic is a special match, as always. Atlético is strong and it will be a close match. There's nothing new in the match preview. The opponent has all the quality needed to fight for this competition, just like us. We had some doubts about the line-up that were solved today with the issue of Lucas and Camavinga. I'm going to put together a line-up that can combine quality and collective commitment. Both things are what lead you to success during the season, and the key is to combine them. This season we've had more quality than commitment, and we're working to balance it," expressed Carlo Ancelotti in a press conference.

These words from the Italian coach make it clear that the white club won't hold back and will go all out from the start.

However, the one who won't be a starter will be Carlo Ancelotti's best 'weapon' this season, Endrick.

The young Brazilian has the best scoring average for the merengue team, even though the top scorer is Kylian Mbappé.

Endrick scores a goal every 80 minutes, while the Parisian does so every 125', followed by Vinícius (137'), Rodrygo (160'), and Bellingham (255).

Not Speaking with Ancelotti

These statistics are even more surprising considering that the young Brazilian has only started 3 times and hardly speaks with Ancelotti.

"I don't talk much with the coach, but the first time I came to Madrid, I talked a lot with him, and he told me that the most important thing for me is to work. That's what I do every day, I'm very grateful to him, he's a great person for me, and I know that being at Real Madrid is difficult, and I have to keep working. I didn't expect more, I'm working, and Carletto knows very well what he's doing. It's not what's best for Endrick; it's what's best for the team. For me, it's no problem, I have to work, and I know that if I don't do my job well, I'm out. I'm very grateful to the coach, he knows I'm working hard, and I'll always be like that," assured Endrick after saving Real Madrid against Celta de Vigo in the Copa del Rey.
