Mbappé caught, his advice to Endrick in the locker room tunnel goes viral

The forward from Bondy spoke with his teammate in the attack during the break

Real Madrid secured the victory against all odds in the match against Real Mallorca. Carlo Ancelotti's players had to wait until the last play to earn those three points, thanks to Jacobo Ramón's goal. While it is true that the heroic victory against the Bermellón team did not prevent the Cule's championship, it left other very noteworthy moments.

One of those highlighted events took place during the break. In the tunnel, while Real Madrid's footballers were preparing to return to the field, Kylian Mbappé sought out Endrick to give him a very important piece of advice. The Bondy striker seems to increasingly assume a leadership position that Madridists have asked him to take on since he joined the first white team.

After having spent 45 minutes "battling" against the strong defense created by Jagoba Arrasate, Mbappé asked Endrick to stay calm when finishing plays. "When you shoot, Endrick, don't worry, they won't attack you so take it easy," said the white '9' to his forward partner in the stadium tunnel.

That advice is one of the many guides that Kylian Mbappé can offer Endrick during their time together in Santiago Bernabéu locker room. The entry of the young verdeamarelo striker into the European soccer elite should be accompanied by many minutes of play, experience he has not been able to gain during the season. This situation would completely change with Xabi Alonso.

Exposed to more minutes of play, Endrick could achieve a better understanding with Kylian Mbappé. Especially considering that they apply two very different ways of acting in front of the opposing goal. While the Bondy striker trusts in runs behind the defense and his great speed, Endrick can act as a more positional footballer and prone to finishing.

Hence Kylian Mbappé's advice, whose trajectory in the European soccer elite at the same age as the Taguatinga forward currently. Little by little Endrick is adapting to the tactical demands of the first white team, considering that this is his first season as a footballer in the capital of Spain.

To his relative inexperience in the European soccer elite is also added the few opportunities he has had since last August 2024. Only now that he has more space to coincide with players like Kylian Mbappé do pieces of advice like the one given by the Bondy striker in the match against Real Mallorca arise.

Those words are also a sign of the mentorship that the former PSG player is willing to provide to teammates who need it most. Endrick is seen as the reference forward for future sports projects: Mbappé knows this and therefore will not hesitate to advise him in any way he can to improve his performance.
