‘Months of joy, victories and learning’ – Endrick bids farewell to Lyon after successful loan spell
‘Months of joy, victories and learning’ – Endrick bids farewell to Lyon after successful loan spell Endrick left Real Madrid in January looking for more prominence to hone his skills. His stint officially ended earlier this week and the player is preparing for the upcoming FIFA World Cup. During his time at Olympique Lyon, the youngster racked up five goals and seven assists in 16 league appearances.
Considering that he played for only six months in France, the numbers are impressive. After the World Cup, he will return to Real Madrid’s dynamics as the club have him in their plans for next season. Endrick’s farewell Penning an emotional farewell message to the Olympique Lyon fanbase, the Brazilian protege explained how he will always hold the loan stint close to his heart and how it was special for him.
He began by emphasising how he was in a dark phase of his career until the loan option came up in January. “In Brazil, when someone is going through a difficult time, it is often said that that person has to kill a lion a day. For months, I went through something that no athlete would want to go through.
But I decided that I was not going to kill a single lion,” he began. Endrick enjoyed a good stint in Lyon. (Photo by Jose Manuel Alvarez Rey/Getty Images) Explaining how he was brave and left to explore new pastures on loan, Endrick said, “I decided to become one.
And it was here that I found what I needed to regain my strength. To follow my instinct to attack like a lion. To defend those who came with me.
