On-loan Real Madrid striker Endric currently has a clear and difficult task during his time in France and so far, everything is going according to plan.
The young Brazilian joins Lyon in search of something he desperately needs after a difficult spell in Spain: consistent playing time.

In Madrid, opportunities are limited, confidence is low and development is slow.
Lyon provided him with playing time, responsibility and trust, and Enderrick repaid that trust with determination.

It’s no secret that Enderrick wants to rebuild the confidence he lost in his early months at the Bernabeu.
Secondly, he aims to perform at a high enough level to convince Ancelotti that he deserves a place in Brazil’s upcoming World Cup plans.
Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, he wants Real Madrid to have no choice but to bring him back at the end of his loan spell. Judging from his early performance, all three goals are fully achievable.
Enderrick’s start in Ligue 1 has been nothing short of sensational. In just 3 league appearances, he has already contributed 5 goals, 4 goals and 1 assist.

His outstanding performance appeared in Lyon’s 5-2 away victory over Metz in the 19th round. The Real Madrid striker’s first-half performance immediately attracted attention across France.
Endrick opened the scoring 15 minutes ago with a calm and delicate shot, showing a maturity beyond his years.
Minutes later, he scored again, but the goal was disallowed for offside.
The setback didn’t slow him down. Before halftime, he scored again to restore Lyon’s advantage.
After halftime, the Brazilian continued to pose a threat, confidently pressing defenders and creating space for attack.
His night ended in the closing stages when he calmly converted a penalty to complete a memorable hat-trick.
