""Yes, I spoke to Carlo about it. He gave me instructions on what I could do, what I needed to do to improve, and that really touched me," Endrick said Monday at his Lyon unveiling."
""His advice was to leave [Real Madrid], to play, to develop my football, to go where I could play, where I could be happy. This decision is mine of course, but Carlo played a part, because he's a great coach.""
""No, honestly, what I tell my loved ones is that these have been the best months of my career," Endrick said through a translator. "Because I've had time to be with my wife, to build my house and my life.""
""The fact that the technical staff is Portuguese is a very good thing, because I was already coached by a Portuguese coach, Abel Ferreira, at Palmeiras," he said. "It's good for me, because I know how they operate. It was a plus point.""
Endrick has joined Ligue 1 club Lyon on loan for the remainder of the season after limited playing time at Real Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti advised him to leave Madrid to find regular minutes, develop his football and be happier, and Endrick said he followed that guidance. He played only three games for Madrid this season but used the downtime to focus on family life and personal projects. Lyon sit fifth in Ligue 1 and are improving under Paulo Fonseca; the Portuguese technical staff and Fonseca’s presence influenced the move. Endrick scored seven goals in 37 games last season and previously netted 21 in 82 for Palmeiras.
