Former Corinthians and Flamengo coach says Endrick will have difficulty at Real Madrid < In Attack

Vitor Pereira, former coach of Corinthians and Flamengo, engineered Endrick’s arrival at Real Madrid. In an interview with the Spanish newspaper Reliefthe Portuguese praised the Brazilian jewel, but said he believes that the Palmeiras athlete will not have an easy time adapting to Spanish football.

“I see him as a player with incredible explosiveness, in short spaces he has great power, but he needs, in my opinion, time. He will not arrive in Madrid and will quickly become an outlier. It needs to adapt to Real Madrid’s game profile, with a lot of ball possession and then with players who make decisions quickly and well in short spaces,” he argued.

Endrick will wear the Real Madrid shirt in July this year, when he will turn 18 years old. Last Tuesday (26/3), the young man scored his first goal at his future home, the Santiago Bernabéu, for the Brazilian team, in a 3-3 draw with Spain.

This duel also marked the first time that Endrick was on the field alongside Vini Jr. and Rodrygo, Brazilians who will be future Real Madrid teammates.

Vitor Pereira close to Spanish football

During the interview, Vitor Pereira also revealed that he was close to signing contracts with two clubs in Spain after leaving Flamengo, but that the negotiations did not work out.

“I had meetings with Sevilla and Almería. It wasn’t the right time, we were very close to signing, but Sevilla chose something else. In Almería I was the one who said no, I understood that it was not the project best suited to my objectives. Sevilla is a great club, I really liked the ideas, but in the end they decided on another coach”, he commented.

Currently, Vitor Pereira leads Al-Shabab, a team that occupies 10th place in the Saudi Championship and has world football stars, such as Ivan Rakitic, ex-Barcelona, ​​and Yannick Carrasco, ex-Atlético de Madrid.
