Endric Felipe Moreira de Sousa (Taguatinga, Brazil, 2006) sits down with MARCA from Lyon. He will be on loan with a new city and team until June. Just three days have passed since OL’s goal in his debut game earned him the right to play in the next round of the Coupe de France against Lille (1-2). It was a great debut for a boy who feels he is a Real Madrid fan at heart. He hopes to return to Madrid soon, but how were his first days at Lyon?<\/p>\n

they were great. I felt very welcome at the club and received all the support I needed for integration and those working with me.You scored on your debut against Lille last Sunday. How many Real Madrid players have called you to congratulate you?<\/p>\n

I don’t think I’ve been able to reply to all the messages I received after the game (lol). There were many. I couldn’t even count after the game. God has always brought great people closer to my career.<\/p>\n

How many goals do you expect to score in your Lyon adventure?<\/p>\n

We hope to win every match, that’s the important thing. I contribute to the victory by scoring goals, but I also win with the goals of other teammates. I came here to win the title with Lyon. I didn’t come here to count goals. I will always try to score goals and always try to get the right result, but sometimes I get the right result by giving my teammates the chance to score.<\/p>\n

\n

I’m not here to count the goals, but I’ll do my best to reach them.<\/p>\n

Do you think Ancelotti will take you to the World Cup no matter what or does it depend on your performance?<\/p>\n

The Brazilian national team is the most important in the world. No one has a guaranteed place. I want to play for Brazil again, but that’s a result of what I’m doing now with Lyon. In the first match, we achieved our goal of playing in the cup match. I’m glad that I was able to score my first goal for the club, but I have to aim even higher. The more you can score, the more likely you are to be called up.<\/p>\n

Did Florentino P\u00e9rez write you a letter wishing you luck?<\/p>\n

The president always helped everyone in every way, and I was no exception. He understood my desire to play back-to-back games and was generous as always.<\/p>\n

\"Endrik<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

What did you think when you saw Xabi Alonso leave?<\/p>\n

I learned a lot from Xavi in \u200b\u200bMadrid. He was a top player and knew football well. I was injured for a long time and couldn’t practice with everyone, but I learned a lot from listening to his story. Now I am learning from Paulo Fonseca (Lyon coach) and he is also very careful. If you have an open mind, you can learn from great coaches every day and that’s what I’m looking for.<\/p>\n

\n

I learned a lot from Xavi in \u200b\u200bMadrid. He is a top player and knows soccer well<\/p>\n

endrik<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Do you think Ligue 1 is much more physical than La Liga? Does that matter?<\/p>\n

France and Spain have two of the best national teams in the world. Both have won a lot in recent years. Both leagues require a lot of physical preparation, mental quickness, and technique. I don’t think one is technical and the other physical. They are players from all over the world who play at top clubs in both countries. Both demand a lot in everything. Since I was a kid, I’ve always played with players older than me, so I always had to push myself physically. To tell you the truth, I don’t see that as a problem.Do you promise the Real Madrid fans who still love you so much that you will succeed in white again soon?<\/p>\n

I am very happy with the love from all the Real Madrid fans. I hope everyone will pray for me to win the title with Lyon, a club to which I will now give my all. Fans root for Real Madrid in the Champions League, but they can also root for Lyon in the Europa League.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
