In a recent match against Atletico Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti decided against letting young striker Endrick take a penalty after sensing his reluctance. Endrick, substituted in preparation for the penalty shootout, was initially considered for the crucial fifth kick but did not show enthusiasm upon being informed. Ancelotti switched to Antonio Rudiger instead. Endrick's limited playing time this season has raised speculation about his future at Real Madrid, although he remains committed to learning from more experienced players like Kylian Mbappe.
"We wanted Endrick. When I told Endrick he was taking the shot, I didn't see him so happy. So we chose Rudiger, he's more cold."
"Endrick has managed 28 appearances across all competitions, but he has totalled just 495 minutes at an average of 17.7 minutes per outing."
