Ancelotti's Viral Quote About Endrick That Sparked Laughter
The Real Madrid coach responded in a peculiar way when asked about Endrick. It's definitely one of the videos of the year.
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti delivered one of those answers in a press conference on Friday that quickly went viral.
The Italian coach was asked about the limited involvement of younger players, specifically the Brazilian Endrick, whose participation has been minimal in the early part of the season.
"We have very young players, and it's not always positive to put them in when the team is not doing well," Ancelotti began.
It was then that the Italian cheekily adjusted the situation with the journalists, in a response that immediately became one of the highlights of the year in press conferences.
A Peculiar Response
"You’re talking about Endrick, who has played little, that I haven't given him minutes, blah, blah, blah, but you have to remember he’s a very young player, he has to learn, adapt, improve, and putting him in when the team is not doing well is not going to help him, I’ll harm him. So, all of this I have to think about, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah."
All the journalists in the room couldn’t help but laugh at the Italian coach’s response.
