Real Madrid prodigy likened to club legend Roberto Carlos because of his physique | OneFootball

Real Madrid’s latest attacking prodigy, Endrick, has been making waves since joining the club in the summer.

The former Palmeiras superstar has racked up two goals in just 26 minutes of action, often appearing as Real Madrid’s go-to person late in the game.

While Endrick has understandably impressed onlookers with his sharp-shooting qualities, another aspect which has caught the eye is his excellent strength and physique.

As reported by MARCA, Endrick’s lower body strength is a key talking point at Valdebebas, with his teammates and coaches often left in awe by his thunderous shots.

The report cites sources inside the club, who believe Endrick’s shooting ability is so powerful that it often leaves people questioning if what they’re seeing is real.

As a result, many in the Real Madrid camp are reminded of Roberto Carlos whenever they see Endrick in action.

Much like Roberto Carlos, who was famous for his quadriceps and explosive power, Endrick possesses a similar physique despite his young age.

Those who have seen him train are often reminded of the Brazilian icon when he steps up to fire at goal during post-session shooting drills.

However, Endrick’s game is not all about raw power. Under the guidance of Carlo Ancelotti and his more experienced teammates, the forward is learning to refine his approach in front of goal, showing maturity beyond his years.

This is a major positive for Real Madrid, as Endrick’s characteristics, so early on in his career, could be a sign of better things to come in the years ahead.
