In the 9th round of La Liga, Real Madrid defeated Getafe 1-0 away from home. Real Madrid, with 24 points in 9 games, returns to the top spot. In this La Liga game, the 19-year-old Endrick still did not get playing time. In-depth media TA revealed that after returning from injury, Endrick sat on the bench for 6 consecutive games. The Brazilian forward was very angry and kicked the water bottle to vent his anger.

The last time Endrick played for Real Madrid was in the La Liga away game against Sevilla on May 18. It has been 150 days since then. In these 150 days, Endrick suffered two injuries. From May to July, he suffered a hamstring strain and was sidelined for 62 days; from August to September, he suffered a thigh strain and was sidelined for 28 days.

In mid-September, Endrick returned from injury. Real Madrid played 6 games (1 Champions League game, 5 La Liga games), and Enderrick was all selected for the squad, but did not play in a single game!

Real Madrid defeated Getafe 1-0 in La Liga. TA pointed out a small detail:

The game lasted about 80 minutes, and the Real Madrid coaching staff asked the substitute players to warm up. Gonzalo Garcia, Brahim Diaz, and Enderrick got up and jogged on the sidelines to warm up and prepare to come on as substitutes. In the 86th minute, Alonso made two substitutions, Gonzalo Garcia replaced Bellingham and Brahim Dias replaced Rodrigo.

Gonzalo Garcia and Brahim Dias appeared, which means that Real Madrid has used up all 5 substitutions. Enderrick sat on the bench again, and the 19-year-old Brazilian forward was very angry.

Ser Radio revealed that Endrick, who did not appear during the warm-up, kicked the water bottle to vent his frustration. Alonso saw this scene and the Real Madrid coach didn't like Endrick's behavior.

Enderrick has not had a minute since Alonso took over as Real Madrid coach. In the Club World Cup from June to July, Endrick suffered an injury and was absent. Gonzalo Garcia came out of the blue and scored 4 goals in 6 games. At the beginning of the new season, Endrick was out for another month. It's understandable that Enderrick can't get Alonso's trust.

Judging from the current situation, Endrick is only Real Madrid's fourth center.

Mbappe is the unbeatable main center and does not need to be rotated; Gonzalo Garcia has played 6 times in La Liga this season, including 1 start; even without Mbappe and Gonzalo Garcia, Alonso will give priority to Vinicius as the center instead of considering Endrick. Come January, Endrick needs to think about his future. If he remains on the bench, there will be little hope for the 2026 World Cup.
