Thibaut Courtois has urged Brazilian newcomer Endrick to stay calm after struggling during Real Madrid's Clasico loss to Barcelona
Thibaut Courtois, the Real Madrid goalkeeper, has urged the young Brazilian talent Endrick to remain composed following the team’s recent Clasico defeat to Barcelona. The rising star, who recently joined Real Madrid, is facing significant pressure as he adapts to his new environment.
Although Endrick has featured in both of Madrid's pre-season matches in the United States, he has yet to score and struggled during the Clasico loss on Saturday. He was substituted in the 68th minute, and Courtois suggested that the teenager might have been overwhelmed by the occasion.
Commenting on Endrick’s performance, Courtois said, "He's not very tall, but he does have very strong legs. He’s a bit like how I met Eden [Hazard] at Chelsea, who has strong legs. You can kick him and he’ll stay standing. And he has a lot of strength in his shot. I’ve seen him shoot hard in training."
Courtois added, "Above all, I think he needs to be a bit calmer. I don’t know if he’s a bit nervous. He’s going to get better and better."
