Endrick had a difficult few months after joining Real Madrid. The 19-year-old striker had few opportunities with Carlo Ancelotti and then Xabi Alonso. A serious injury still sidelined him for a good part of 2025.
Cíntia Ramos followed everything closely. The player’s mother spoke to ESPN about the period of uncertainty her son was experiencing. Ela highlighted his own limitation to interfere, but reinforced the role of constant support. The striker now returns to the Spanish club with renewed morale after his loan to Lyon.

“It’s difficult for a mother to see her child in a situation that he doesn’t want to be in and that you can’t do anything about,” said Cíntia. Ela opted for prayers and words of encouragement. The focus has always been on keeping the player resilient.
The mother insisted that Endrick be patient and continue working. Treinadores decided the team, but she demanded focus and taking advantage of her potential. Desistir was never an option in the family conversation.
