Rodrygo hails Real Madrid signing Endrick: He has brutal explosiveness

Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo Goes has no doubts about the future of Endrick.

The Palmeiras striker will move to Real Madrid in 2024 and is with Rodrygo this week with the Brazil squad at the age of 17.

Rodrygo said, "Endrick is very strong, very fast and has a brutal explosiveness. He is very dangerous. He scored many goals in the juniors. He has to be very different to play here at the age of 17.

"We always talk, not just now. Sometimes he asks us things from there (Brazil) and now we're better being closer."

Rodrygo also admits he was struggling at the start of the season.

"The truth was that I was overwhelmed because things did not come out but now I am back. I can't blame anyone, it was my fault, it was a new position and I was adapting. Now he's (Real coach Carlo Ancelotti) giving me more freedom, more towards the wings. It's kind of hard to play there for nine, but if the 'master' thinks I can, I'm delighted."
