Rising star Endrick shines bright, naming the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo as his muse!

Prodigy Endrick praised his senior Cristiano Ronaldo and admitted to being inspired by CR7.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Portuguese superstar Ronaldo spent nine memorable years at the Santiago Bernabeu from 2009 to 2018 – scoring 450 goals, winning four Champions League titles and breaking countless records. Endrick is now preparing to continue those illustrious achievements. He will complete his move to Spain when he turns 18.

WHAT DOES ENDRICK SAY?

The teenage star told TyC Sports why he admires Ronaldo: “He is an example of a player who can combine the best of everything.”

Endrick is confident he can have the same impact as Ronaldo at the Blancos having shown himself at Palmeiras: “What I did in Brazil is pretty much what they will ask of me there. I watched many Real Madrid matches and analyzed them.”

PANORAMA

At just 17 years old, Endrick has made more than 80 appearances at club level and scored 3 goals in 6 appearances for the national team. He is compared to iconic figures such as his compatriot Pele.

“For me, it’s an honor, even though I’m just at the beginning of my story. I’m not complaining about that.”
