Endrick unveiled as Lyon signing, shares advice from Ancelotti | OneFootball

This Monday, Endrick held a press conference and was introduced as the new number 9 for Lyon. The forward emphasized the importance of experiencing new environments and revealed a conversation with Carlo Ancelotti.

Relationship at Real Madrid

In Spain, the Brazilian gem did not have many opportunities to play, mainly due to the competition with Kyllian Mbappé. The player highlighted that the period represented a phase of evolution and sees great value in the time he spent on the bench.

“These months were the best. I was able to become more of a man, a better husband, and a better person. And I was also able to focus a lot on my work. That's what I did in the last six months,” emphasized Endrick.

Regarding the speculations about his departure from Real Madrid, Endrick also spoke about the atmosphere inside the locker room.

“I would arrive at training, everyone would ask if I was leaving, if I wasn't, they would tell me to stay. Now they know, unfortunately, I left, but of course, I will return one day and I am talking with them,” he declared.

Future at Lyon

Endrick expressed being happy to join the club and believes his stay in France will be positive. Currently, Lyon is in fifth place in the French Championship, with 30 points on the table.

“My personal goal is to help Lyon win titles,” said Endrick. “I come to add to the team and not to change the tactical scheme,” he added.

With the great repercussion of his arrival in Ligue 1, Endrick views the attention from the Brazilian public positively.

“I'm even happier for the people in Brazil who are with me and who will want to watch a little more of the French league,” he commented.

Conversation with Carlo Ancelotti

The 19-year-old athlete spoke about his conversation with Carlo Ancelotti, coach of the Brazilian National Team, and followed the Italian's advice.

“I talked to him and, of course, he gave me some instructions on what I could do to improve. It was something that touched my heart because when he talked to me, I wanted to follow his advice. His advice was: leave, play, develop your football, where you can play, where you can be happy,” mentioned Endrick.

“The decision (to leave) came from me, but of course, there was a bit of influence from Carlo, he is a great coach. I hope to be able to wear the Brazilian National Team jersey again,” declared Endrick.

A few months before the World Cup, Endrick continues to seek a return to being called up. The forward has not yet been called by Ancelotti.

“I will do everything to be able to return to the National Team. It has been my dream since I was a child,” concluded the number 9.
