The Brazilian talent Endrick has bid an emotional farewell to the fans of the French club Lyon. The 19-year-old striker, who belongs to Real Madrid, is preparing to return to the Santiago Bernabéu stadium ahead of the new season after concluding his six-month loan spell. This is reported by Goal.com .
Struggling with limited playing time in Spain, Endrick regained his best form at Lyon. In a farewell video posted on social media, he reflected on his growth in France. During his final match against Lens, the Groupama Stadium crowd gave him a standing ovation, demonstrating the strong bond formed between the player and the fans in such a short time.
"In Brazil, they say about someone going through hard times that they 'have to kill a lion every day.' I decided not to kill the lion, but to become one. It was here that I found what I needed to restore my strength. I learned to attack like a lion and protect my family," the Brazilian star said in his message.
The loan spell was a success for all parties. Endrick recorded 8 goals and 8 assists in 21 matches, contributing significantly to Lyon's fourth-place finish in the league. The player noted that his adventure in France was so remarkable that a film could be made about it.
Now, Endrick returns to Real Madrid. Reports suggest he could play under Jose Mourinho, who is expected to take charge of the Madrid club next season. "Unfortunately, a lion cannot stay in one place. I have to leave, but I will keep this city in my heart forever," the striker concluded.
