Ivory CoastMourinho Hopes Ancelotti Gives Endrick Playing Time With Brazil
José Mourinho hopes Carlo Ancelotti gives Endrick minutes for Brazil as the forward seeks more playing time.
Hope for International Minutes
Real Madrid manager José Mourinho hopes Brazil boss Carlo Ancelotti gives Endrick plenty of playing time during the international break. The 20 years old forward has struggled to get regular minutes in Spain this season.
Mourinho admitted he cannot offer Endrick all the opportunities he wants right now. Speaking after Madrid beat Valencia 3-0 on Saturday, Mourinho said he would be grateful if Ancelotti plays the young attacker in Brazil's upcoming friendlies against Japan on Nov. 14 and Singapore on Nov. 17.
Playing Time Challenges in Madrid
Endrick has logged just 141 minutes under Mourinho across seven matches this season. He has started only once and scored one goal. His main competition for playing time includes Kylian Mbappé, who Endrick noted was recently named the second best player in the world.
Endrick admitted it is not easy to break into the team. He mentioned that his longest appearances this season came against Roma and AEK Athens. He spent the second half of last season on loan at Lyon, which he described as one of the happiest times of his life.
Relationship with Mourinho and Unknown Future
Despite the lack of minutes, Endrick praised his relationship with Mourinho. He explained that Mourinho often checks in on his personal life and makes him feel very welcome at the club.
However, Endrick remains unsure about what will happen in the January transfer window. He stated that his future is in God's hands and that he will always do what is best for his career, while giving his all for Real Madrid.
Vinícius Returns Soon
Endrick is not the only Real Madrid forward away with Brazil. Vinícius Júnior is also with the national team for the upcoming matches.
Vinícius recently completed a four match ban in LaLiga. He will be available for selection when Real Madrid return to league action against Celta Vigo on Nov. 21.
