Did Real Madrid suffer a big loss? The new star Enderrick worth 70 million became a spectator, and the dream of the golden boy was temporarily hidden!

The 70 million euros Real Madrid spent to sign Endrick did not seem to pay off immediately. This talented young man known as the "Golden Boy of Brazil" has now gradually become a spectator on the bench of the Galacticos. Fans originally thought that he could rise quickly like Vinicius and Rodrigo and become Real Madrid's next core striker, but the reality is that he is just a bystander at the Bernabeu Stadium for the time being.

Endrick's story should be passionate. He became famous at a young age, has exquisite skills, outstanding speed, and a keen sense of smell in front of goal - he has almost all the potential to become a superstar. Real Madrid locked in the signing in advance when he was still underage. This kind of bet investment shows the trust and expectations of the top management in him. However, the biggest problem he encountered after joining the team was not the strength, but the environment and rhythm.

In Alonso's tactical system, Real Madrid's frontcourt is almost an "unshakable" combination: Vinicius is on the left, Mbappe occupies the center position, and right winger Alonso seems to trust Diaz and Argentina's 19-year-old Mastantono more. Under such a system, it is difficult for Endrick to shake the main position in terms of technology and experience. Even if he is in good condition during training, he is often scheduled to play in garbage time, and more often than not he just sits on the bench and applauds silently.

In fact, Endrick is not incapable of competing. His explosiveness and decisiveness in front of goal during his time in Palmeiras, Brazil, made him a popular candidate for "Neymar's successor" as a teenager. But in Real Madrid, this self-confidence was gradually tempered by reality. The pace is faster, the physical confrontation is stronger, and the tactical requirements are more detailed - the intensity of Europe's top leagues is far from comparable to that of Brazil. And Ancelotti's "stability strategy" has made playing opportunities for young players scarce.

This is reminiscent of Martin Odegaard back then. The young man who was once known as the "Messi of Northern Europe" also did not get a chance in Real Madrid for a long time. He was eventually rented out and bounced around many teams. It was not until he joined Arsenal that he ushered in a real transformation. Today Endrick seems to be on a similar path. The difference is that Real Madrid's forward competition is more brutal, and any spot means huge responsibility and pressure.

From a psychological perspective, the impact of this "long waiting" process on young players is obvious. The 18-year-old Endrick is in a critical growth stage of his career. He needs the rhythm of the game, the accumulation of confidence, and the need to learn from failures. Real Madrid's current situation obviously cannot give him such space.

However, it cannot be concluded that Real Madrid "suffered a big loss". From a long-term perspective, Endrick is still an investment with huge potential. His technical style is consistent with Real Madrid's future reconstruction direction, but the current Real Madrid is too strong and stable, and it is difficult for young people to integrate into such a system immediately. Just like Vinicius was criticized for wasting opportunities when he first arrived, but now he has become the darling of the Bernabeu.

For Endrick, the most important thing now is not the amount of playing time, but how to show signs of growth in limited opportunities. He must prove himself in training, improve his ability to run without the ball and teamwork, and narrow the gap with the main first-line players. After all, Real Madrid will not always have Ancelotti, tactics and personnel will always change, and opportunities will always arise.

Nowadays, Endrick's situation is also worrying the outside world. According to Western media reports, the Brazilian starlet has come up with the idea of ​​​​renting out outside the winter window. Currently, two Serie A teams have submitted loan intentions to Real Madrid, hoping to give him more opportunities to play. However, Endrick himself still hopes to stay in La Liga. He prefers to continue adapting to the rhythm of European football in Spain and maintain close contact with Real Madrid. After all, his goal has never changed - even if it is temporarily hidden, he will have to wait until the day that belongs to him, truly wear the white clothes of the Galaxy Battleship, and prove himself at the Bernabeu.
