He gave me instructions on what I could do, what I needed to improve, and that really touched me.<\/p><cite>Endrick<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nThe footballer revealed that Ancelotti advised him to leave Real Madrid to play and develop as a footballer, prioritizing his happiness. Although the decision was his, he highlighted the influence of the coach.\n\nEndrick only played three matches with Madrid this season. Instead of complaining, he used the time to grow.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Honestly, what I tell my loved ones is that these have been the best months of my career. Because I&#8217;ve had time to be with my wife, build my house and my life.<\/p><cite>Endrick<\/cite>\n\nNow, Endrick joins a Lyon on the rise under the direction of Portuguese coach Paulo Fonseca, sitting in fifth position in Ligue 1, just two points away from third place. Fonseca&#8217;s presence was a key factor in his decision.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The fact that the technical staff is Portuguese is very good, because I was already trained by a Portuguese coach, Abel Ferreira, at Palmeiras. It&#8217;s good for me, because I know how they operate. It was a plus.<\/p><cite>Endrick<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nLast season, under the direction of Ancelotti, who now manages the Brazilian national team, Endrick scored seven goals in 37 matches, standing out for his speed and ball skills.\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a2.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2024%2F0707%2Fr1355524_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Endrick marc\u00f3 tres goles para Brasil el a\u00f1o pasado.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\nHe could meet Ancelotti again this year at the World Cup. Endrick scored three goals for Brazil last year, including matches against England and Spain.\n\nEndrick began his career at Palmeiras, scoring 21 goals in 82 matches, which earned him a dream transfer to Real Madrid.\n\nLyon has a rich history of prominent Brazilian footballers. Recently, Lucas Paquet\u00e1 and Bruno Guimar\u00e3es left their mark, both now established midfielders in the Premier League with West Ham and Newcastle, respectively.\n\nOther players like Fred, Nilmar and Giovane \u00c9lber, Edmilson or defenders Cris and Rafael, also left their mark on the club.\n\nBut the most famous of all was the midfield maestro Juninho.\n\nJuninho established himself as one of the best free-kick takers in Europe, scoring 100 goals for Lyon between 2001 and 2008.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The young Brazilian forward Endrick, after receiving valuable advice from his former Real Madrid coach, Carlo Ancelotti, joins Lyon of Ligue 1 on loan for the rest of the season.
