The youth of Real Madrid Endrick Felipe hit his first speed bump since arriving at the club on Tuesday, coming on for the final 20 minutes of the match. The Brazilian was booked but managed to avoid a red card after kneeing Alaves defender Santiago Mourinho where he is most injured.
Alaves coach Luis Garcia Plaza was stunned that his side did not have a man advantage, and that VAR did not intervene, while manager Carlo Ancelotti said he did not had not seen Endrick is aware that he was lucky not to be sent, however, say Marcoand he recognized as much as his close circle.
He'll hold his hands and make sure it doesn't happen again to his teammates and Ancelotti on Thursday, and he's learned his lesson. He does not want to take a step back in his Real Madrid career, and when it comes to combat, from now on it will only be for the ball. The 18-year-old's ability to listen and learn is highlighted as one of his standout qualities so far.
Barring that incident, Real Madrid fans will be happy with their latest Brazilian starlet. Endrick has two goals in his opening six appearances, which amounts to only 47 minutes, and he also won a penalty, which all off the bench. With Kylian Mbappe out of the Madrid derby on Sunday, Endrick has a reasonable chance of being Ancelotti's go-to man if he needs to go more attacking.
