Young Brazilian striker Endrick has just finished his 2024 year on the bench. Demoted by Carlo Ancelotti to the bench behind other Real Madrid attackers, the 18-year-old player can regain his smile in 2025, according to revelations from Goal Turkey.
Arriving in the Spanish capital last summer, Endrick is not yet anchored in the technical staff's plans. After the first part of the season, which ended this Sunday with the duel against Sevilla FC (won by the Madrileños 4-2), the former Palmeiras player has only played 9 games, including several as a late substitute.
Despite scoring two magnificent goals for Real Madrid, the 18-year-old Brazilian international has never entered Carlo Ancelotti's plans, who does not consider him quite ready for more playing time.
Carlo Ancelotti's Promise to Endrick
According to Goal Turkey, Carlo Ancelotti has promised Endrick a better future for the new year. The 65-year-old Italian coach, who remains a master in managing his players, reportedly promised the young striker that he would have much more playing time in 2025.
"He will have his moment of glory," the revelation states.
This information should please the young Brazilian, who will not leave the White House in January for another club despite Goal's predictions.
Despite fierce competition in attack, where the trio Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior, and Kylian Mbappé, not to mention Brahim Diaz, are gaining momentum in recent days, Endrick should have more playing time in the new year due to upcoming competitions.
In addition to La Liga and the Champions League, Real Madrid will start competing in the Copa del Rey in the new year. Endrick, a starter in the Copa del Rey, should play in these matches, along with players like Jesus Vallejo and Andriy Lunin.
With the dense 2025 calendar, Endrick will likely play more games in La Liga, especially if the team shows more defensive solidity.
Carlo Ancelotti has the ideal plan to develop the former Palmeiras gem, who has the qualities of a true number 9. With his striking power and agility, the 18-year-old player will likely follow the same path as Arda Güler, who gained more responsibilities and playing time in recent weeks.
