Interviewed by 'Globo' journalist Cahe Mota directly from the Brazil national team camp, Endrick, who has been linked with a move to AC Milan in the upcoming January transfer window, spoke about his future:
"I am very young. I don't need to fly just yet or throw myself off a cliff. I am still only 20 years old, and I will see what happens. I just want to play, I want to be happy, help my team-mates… Score goals, provide assists, as I was able to do at Lyon, which was one of the best things that has happened to me in life and one of the happiest periods I have experienced."
Endrick added:
"I don't know what will happen in January. That is in God's hands. I only ask to do what is best for my career. Whatever happens, will happen. I will keep my feet on the ground and do my best. Madrid is a wonderful city, but I will always do everything I can to advance my career."
On Real Madrid coach José Mourinho, he said
"Mourinho is someone I have a lot of faith in. Every day, he comes up to me and asks how I am, but nothing about football. It is always about my personal life. I really value that. He is one of the first coaches to come over, talk to me and make me feel very welcome. I am very grateful for that. I will always give my all for Real Madrid, which comes above everything else, but Mourinho's affection makes me give even more."
On the lack of minutes at Real Madrid, Endrick said:
"You know very well who we have there. He is the second-best player in the world according to this latest Ballon d'Or. And we know who Kylian is. Whenever I get an opportunity at Real, as I did after the last international break, I try to make the most of it. I have come on in matches for five minutes, ten minutes… The matches in which I had more playing time were against Roma and AEK Athens. Those were opportunities I made the most of. I know it isn't easy"
