Real Madrid's new signing is already being controversial.
Real Madrid's new signing is already being controversial.

Endrick has not yet turned 18, but he is already beginning to mold himself as a new villain for Argentina. The young Palmeiras footballer was the Albiceleste's executioner in the final of the U-17 World Cup and recently he had some public statements against Lionel Messi that the country did not like at all.

Endrick underwent a challenge in which he had to put together the perfect player attribute by attribute, but he did not choose Messi in any of them. On the contrary, he chose Kylian Mbappé, Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric, Jude Bellingham, Vinicius, Toni Kross, himself and even Abel Ferreira (in mentality). Now, it is more than evident that with these elections he wanted to look good to the Real Madrid fans in the face of his arrival.

Before the match between Brazil and Argentina for the South American Qualifiers, the young Real Madrid star spoke at a press conference and said when asked by Leo: "For me Pelé is the king, there is no one who comes close to being compared to him ". Not satisfied with this, she later added: "I'm more of a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo, but it will be a wonderful experience to see Messi up close." In this way, Endrick not only put Messi behind Pelé, but also CR7. However, the South American classic had a happy ending for the Albiceleste: they won 1-0 with a goal from Nicolás Otamendi.
