Endrick: “With Mbappé coming, our team looks like it is from a video game”

In a recent interview he did with L’Equipe, Real Madrid’s latest starboy Endrick talked about how excited he is to join the club, and a lot of other things around the fact. He spoke about fellow newcomer Kylian Mbappé, and he talked about how good the team would be with his arrival. He said: “With Mbappé coming, our team looks like a video game team. Mbappé is always on my team in FIFA. He’s the best in the game. [And now] in real life, as well. Who wouldn’t be happy to have him on their team?”

Endrick on his integration into the squad

“Vini will help me integrate in Madrid. He’s an extraordinary player. I cannot wait to live in Madrid, to learn a new culture, I’m eager to eat jamon.”

Endrick on the other players he has spoken to in the squad

“I have spoken to Camavinga and Tchouaméni. They are cool, they are young. It’s wonderful to know that I will soon be training with them.”

Endrick on the kind of player he is

“I will always fight for every single ball, even when it is lost. If I miss a dribble or a chance, it doesn’t matter. I will try again. I have the technique and qualities.”

Endrick on his connection with Real Madrid

“My story with Real Madrid started before I was born; my dad wanted to name me ‘Di Stéfano’, but my mother refused.”

Endrick on what he likes about Mbappé’s playing style

“I like Mbappé’s right-footed shot when he pretends to open his foot but closes it at the last moment. He scored like that against Bayern, Real. The defenders know it, but they can’t do anything about it.”
