Endrick, which is coming this summer real Madrid, was interviewed on the TV Globo program Conversa com Bial. In that interview he talked about the pressure of playing at the highest level, his family and even wanting to be a father.
The pressure of playing at the highest level
“I want to play. Taking responsibility on the field of play is terrible. I felt that, you feel so heavy and you have to be light, happy, really like a child. Just like my brother Noé (4 years old) , no responsibility for anything”
His attitude when he goes out on the field
“You have to go into the countryside to be happy, like a kid in an amusement park. Like Abel told me, that I have to go to Disney, that I’m young and I have to have fun. I took that advice for life. I think when I “enter the field, this is my playground.”
Racism
“One thing my mother always told me was to stay calm, to not let things get me down. I don’t have white skin, I really have black skin, it was God who gave me that tone. I’m not going to let such things shake me, but strengthen me”
The family
“When I score a goal, I think of my family, because I know that having a good house, food on the table, a good school, is in my hands. This happened when I started to have a good career at Palmeiras . .. When I got my first contract, I gave it to my family, then that weight was removed”
Call for the senior team
“It came earlier. “I talked to my father, I didn’t expect the summons, not really.”
His goal in Brazil at the Bernabéu
“It’s a very good goal. When I did it and was sliding, I saw a fan with a Spain shirt in front of me and said – I understand a little Spanish – that he is waiting for me here and that I will be a good player. I did my celebration, with great pleasure, I’m Endrick. This image has been in my mind since I scored the goal
Married with his partner Gabriely
“As I told my father and mother, I want to be a young father, I want to see my son grown, have affinity, but she is the one who has to say yes or no, right?”
