Speaking after the game about his new striker's debut, Ancelotti said: 'He's very fast, very dangerous in tight spaces, has the ability to turn with speed in little space, very agile in getting himself free, and all these qualities he has means he's a great talent.’
Lucas Vazquez also sang his praises, saying: 'Endrick looks very good, to be honest. In these last three training sessions he has been good, he needs to adapt a little to our way of playing, but he has brutal conditions, [and has made] an incredible start.'
Having started Jesus Vallejo and had the admittedly extremely talented 16-year-old Joan Martinez come off the bench in the second half, it's pretty clear that Madrid need a bit more help in the heart of the defence.
Reports from Spain are insisting that Madrid have made a decision to not dip into the market for a centre-back after missing out on the signing of Leny Yoro, but after seeing the lack of depth in action, it's probably time for a U-turn on that decision. Euro 2024 hero Aymeric Laporte has been linked.
