Guti’s Advice to Endrick: A Path Forward for the Young Striker
Struggles in the Squad
Real Madrid legend Guti has shared some counsel with promising forward Endrick, who has experienced challenges in securing a position within coach Xabi Alonso’s selection this season.
Potential Loan Move
There are indications that Endrick might be sent out on loan during the January transfer window. Guti observed, “His lack of playing time—no opportunities even to warm up, and the coach opting for Gonzalo (Garcia) in crucial moments—illustrates his current standing in Alonso’s view.”
Guti emphasized the unpredictability of football, stating, “Can he make an impact? It’s hard to say. There are often injuries or situations where the coach decides to give you a chance; if you score, it can change everything.”
Importance of Game Time
He further suggested, “If by December he remains without an opportunity, the wisest course of action for his development would be to secure a loan to gain essential experience. For a young talent, as we often noted with Arda Güler, getting those playing minutes is vital.”
