That was Perez's legacy. His Galactico policy is about marketing the club beyond the normal la Liga fan base, in which kids started to follow us because of our iconic players. Some kids would grow up idolising Gattuso, Deco, Pirlo, Crespo, etc, but Perez took it another level.

Endrick has next level quickness and speed burst. If he continues his growth and his special finishing ability matures this kid could be an Mbappe/Halaand level talent. Even with his shorter height.
It was a boring game with Palmieras barely creating anything. Highlight of the game was Endrick forcing a GK save from Roberto Carlos range pretty much. Power and accuracy of his shot is amazing especially given his age.
The move at the end. Slick. A 16 year old is doing this to grown men. Endrick is different pic.twitter.com/8pIaDafQZ3— 🇫🇷 (@190TWO) January 15, 2023

I hope Endrick has the mental strength against the racist abuse he's gonna get here since LaLiga doesn't care: see Vinnie.

Hes been my idol since he came in to save madrid from CL drought. Im very much rhe opposite of him but respect him very much, hiw he is, what he says and his insane mentality. Just saying, dont speak like everyone thinks ronaldo is not a good role model. I prefer his way of being 100× then messi or any other athlete. I inly hope I had that much believe i. Myself as he does.
He was involved in the 2nd goal. I saw a few games of Palmeiras this season. The truth is that the team imo looks pretty weak. Endrick play as a 9, and they hardly passing the ball to him.
🚨OFFICIAL: Endrick has won the Samba Gold 2022 and is the best Brazilian under-20 player of the year. 🇧🇷 pic.twitter.com/x4nOOxLdu5— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) February 7, 2023
He got this due to name only. There are other players under-20 who have performed on the top stage and should have been considered
I have my reservations on going in big on young talent. As Michael Jordan once said, it makes a bad precedent. If the kid has the mentality of an ATG to be the bes, well and good. But most of the time it breeds compacency and ego. Hope Endrick is the former for the club's sake.
