Real Madrid’s new signing set to follow Vinicius Jr’s secret formula for a quick impact | OneFootball

Journalist June Lavin has provided insight into Real Madrid’s newest addition, Endrick, revealing that the young player, eager to fit into the team both on and off the pitch, has been seeking advice from fellow Brazilians Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo.

Endrick, who signed for Real Madrid in December 2022, is now officially a part of the team as he celebrates his 18th birthday today. He is set to be formally presented as a Real Madrid player on July 27.

It is said that ever since his signing was announced, Endrick has been diligently preparing for his transition. He understands the fierce competition for a spot in the attacking lineup, which is why he has been learning to play in various positions.

Interestingly, his proactive approach extends beyond the football field. Endrick has been following a path similar to that of his mentors, Vinicius and Rodrygo, who have been guiding him through this journey for over a year.

To ensure he adapts well, Endrick has been focusing on every detail. He travelled to Madrid to learn firsthand from Vinicius about his training routines, recovery methods, diet, and how he spends his free time.

This deep dive into the ‘Vinicius method’ is part of Endrick’s strategy to make a smooth transition into the Real Madrid squad.

Endrick’s eagerness to learn doesn’t stop with Vinicius. He has also been closely following Rodrygo, understanding the significance of quickly grasping what it means to be a Real Madrid player.

The Brazilian duo has emphasised the importance of understanding both the on-field expectations and the off-field responsibilities that come with wearing the Real Madrid jersey.

Endrick is also learning Spanish

In addition to his physical and tactical preparations, Endrick has been taking Spanish lessons for several months. This effort is crucial for his quick adaptation, as effective communication with teammates and coaches is essential.

He aims to follow the example set by Kylian Mbappe, who impressed with his near-perfect Spanish during his presentation, making his early days with the team smoother.

As Endrick integrates into Real Madrid, the presence of his Brazilian compatriots will be invaluable. Their support, combined with his determination and personality, will play a significant role in his adaptation.

His journey with Real Madrid is just beginning, and with the guidance of Vinicius and Rodrygo, Endrick is well on his way to making a significant impact both on and off the pitch.
