Endrick recalls Mbappé advice, unsure about 'matador' nickname

Endrick says Kylian Mbappé and Eduardo Camavinga encouraged him to join Lyon on loan, praising Ligue 1 as a competitive league and recommending the club. He left Real Madrid in January to seek more regular playing time and has quickly made an impact in France, highlighted by a hat-trick against Metz, with only a red card against Nantes blemishing his start.

He repeated the guidance from team-mates: "Kylian Mbappé and Camavinga told me that Ligue 1 was a good league and that it was very competitive. They strongly recommended that I sign for Lyon because it’s a great team. I appreciate their good advice." Endrick also spoke of his ambitions to win titles with Real Madrid, saying: "I hope to see Vinicius and Mbappé together again someday to win the Champions League and other titles." He added that he did not expect things to go so well, described France as an incredible country and said he will work twice as hard to help Lyon and hopes to play for Brazil at the World Cup.
