Italian Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid’s coach, intends to surprise his Brazilian player, Endrick Felipe, similar to what he did with the Turkish player Arda Güler in the recent match against Liverpool.
Both Endrick and Güler have been struggling with a lack of minutes this season, spending long periods on the bench. However, Ancelotti made the bold decision to start Güler against the Reds and is now considering doing the same with Endrick in Sunday’s match against Getafe.
Endrick’s performance has improved significantly, which has allowed him to earn more playing time. Previously, he had been gradually sidelined and found himself on Ancelotti’s bench, but that may soon be a thing of the past, as the coach plans to start him against the Madrid-based team. This decision comes amid Brahim Díaz’s recent injury worries following the Liverpool match, as well as the return of Rodrigo Goes from injury.
Brazilian Vinícius Júnior will be unavailable for the Getafe match, which means Ancelotti will likely rely on Kylian Mbappé on the left wing, opening the possibility for Endrick to play in the center forward position. Endrick is eager for more opportunities with Real Madrid, believing he deserves them. The club’s sporting management shares this belief, recognizing that he is always a threat to opponents’ goals whenever he plays.
