Continue the problems in the locker room real madrid. After Rodrygo and Vinicius They declared themselves dissatisfied because of the reduced game time they benefit under the command of Xabi Alonso, now came the turn of another Brazilian to feel unjustified.
The full program of stage #9 of La Liga
With the installation of Xabi Alonso at the helm of Real Madrid, some of the team superstars received less minutes of play than in Carlo Ancelotti's mandate.
The main deficiencies were Rodrygo and Vinicius, which was written including that they could leave “Santiago Bernabeu”. Finally, however, the situation of the two Brazilians seems to have resolved, as they have benefited from several appearances lately, and things tend to return to normal.
However, the situation in the “Galactic” locker room was not fully improved, because Endrick (19 years old) was dissatisfied.
Endrick did not check for a minute for Real Madrid in the current season. Xabi Alonso: “He has to wait, his time will come”
Ever since he took over the head of the Real technical bank, Xabi Alonso has not used on Endrick at all. The young Brazilian last evolved for “Galactici” in an official match on May 18, in a championship match with Sevilla, won by “Los Blancos” with 2-0. Then, the coach was Carlo Ancelotti.
Which is right, in that match, Endrick was injured, and the muscle problems kept him away from the lawn until the end of September.
However, once he returned to the team's gear, the Brazilian was part of the Real's lot for the last five matches, but he didn't even check a minute. Thus, according to the press in Spain, the young footballer began to feel unjustified, and as in the case of his compatriots, discussions were submitted on a possible separation from La Liga.

Xabi Alonso, however, denied any such rumor. The Spanish technician said that, indeed, the competition on each position is a very big one at Real Madrid, especially in the offensive compartment, but each player will benefit from chances, and Endrick is a player that matters in the long term.
There is a lot of competition now, both on his position (no – to Endrick) and in the surrounding areas. I say that with joy. This means that we have to choose from the accidents.
Endrick benefits from some impressive qualities. Marker instinct, brutal completions and excellent steps. I understand perfectly that he is not satisfied at this time, but his time will come. I believe very much in him and I rely on his long -term services. There is no question of a departure.
– Xabi Alonso, about Endrick's situation
Endrick reached “Santiago Bernabeu” in the summer of 2024, and since then, the Brazilian has checked 37 matches for Real Madrid in all competitions, during which time he managed to score seven goals and offer a decisive pass.
With the beginning of season 2025/2026, it took over the shirt with the number of “9” of “Blanco”.
