The timing of Kylian Mbappe\u2019s injury forced many to wonder if Real Madrid would call back Endrick from the loan he recently was sent out on, especially given how bare the department suddenly looked.<\/p>\n

Los Blancos, however, stuck to their guns and did not make any moves in that direction, understanding well that the player needs the loan to further his development.<\/p>\n

Endrick is now playing at Olympique Lyonnais until the end of the season and is expected to see regular playing time at the elite level \u2013 something invaluable for a talent of his quality and age.<\/p>\n

Endrick speaks on his departure<\/p>\n

The young Brazilian striker spoke to the media in a recent interview where he opened up on his departure from Real Madrid in detail.<\/p>\n

He began by answering a question on whether he plans to return to his parent club next season.<\/p>\n

\u201cWill I return to Real Madrid this summer or extend my loan at Lyon? Let\u2019s not worry about next season right now. My season at Lyon is just starting,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The player then praised Xabi Alonso for everything he taught him and elaborated on how interacting with the Real Madrid manager helped him a lot.<\/p>\n

\u201cI spoke to Xabi about a lot of things. He won a lot of titles, and he was a world champion. He has a lot to teach and a lot to contribute.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want people like him to always help me. I also want to be a world champion with the national team, like he was with Spain,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Elaborating on how both Carlo Ancelotti<\/a> and Alonso had the same advice for him \u2013 to leave on loan and accumulate minutes \u2013 Endrick said,<\/p>\n

\u201cAncelotti and Xabi both advised me to look for playing time after recovering from my injury. They are two champions with winning careers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve been through it all: victories, defeats, injuries, titles. You have to listen to the advice of people like them,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The player then spoke on how it was indeed difficult for him to leave Real Madrid and showed confidence that it was only temporary.<\/p>\n

\u201cLeaving the biggest club in the world, where everyone dreams of playing, would be difficult for anyone, but I\u2019m not leaving. It\u2019s just a pause.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Lyon, I\u2019ll finally be able to play a lot of games, and that will also help Real Madrid,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He also showed great understanding of his situation at Real Madrid and why he struggled for minutes, something exceptional for a player as young as him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI arrived just after turning 18, and I scored on my debut in every tournament. Many things happened faster than many expected.<\/p>\n

\u201cI understand that people wanted me to play more, but I realise that it won\u2019t always happen that quickly,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Finally, Endrick spoke on how he looked forward to his new challenge, saying,<\/p>\n

\u201cLyon have everything I was looking for: the team, the fans, the coaching staff, and the opportunity to develop.\u201d<\/p>\n
