Endrick virou a principal alternativa do Real Madrid para o ataque no El Clásico. O clássico com o Barcelona está marcado para o domingo, 25 de outubro, e a tendência é que Mourinho escale o brasileiro na vaga de Vini Jr., que está suspenso.
O gancho de quatro jogos foi imposto pela La Liga ao camisa 7. A punição se refere ao puxão de cabelo em Saliba, no duelo com o Villarreal, vencido pelo time merengue por 1 x 0.
Reserva, Endrick cresceu de rendimento sob o comando de Mourinho e teve boa atuação no 4 x 3 diante da Roma, na segunda rodada da Liga dos Campeões. Depois daquele jogo, o treinador elogiou o atacante.
É um jogador que eu adoro.
A ausência de Vini Jr. já havia aberto espaço para ele antes, no confronto com o Sevilla. Mesmo assim, contra o Leipzig, na quarta-feira (21/10), ele ficou em campo só dois minutos, e o Real ganhou por 4 x 1, também pela competição europeia.
Os números da temporada apontam quatro partidas e um gol, marcado justamente naquele duelo com a Roma. Endrick entrou aos 14 minutos da etapa final, com o placar de 3 x 1 para os italianos, e participou da reação que virou o jogo.
