Endrick on His Resurgence: "I Decided to Become a Lion"

Talented Brazilian forward Endrick has officially concluded his loan spell in France's Ligue 1, bidding an emotional farewell to Lyon fans. During his time with the club, on loan from Real Madrid, he contributed to 16 goals in 21 appearances. After rediscovering his best form in France, the 19-year-old is now set to return to the Santiago Bernabéu with high expectations for the upcoming season.

Endrick posted a heartfelt video on social media, reflecting on his personal growth in France following a challenging period in Spain.

“In Brazil, when someone is going through a tough time, it's often said that they need to 'kill a lion every day.' For several months, I was in a situation no athlete should have to face, but I decided I wouldn't kill any lions. I decided to become one,” the Brazilian footballer stated, as quoted by BTA.

“And it was here that I found what I needed to regain my strength. To follow my instincts. To attack like a lion. To protect my family, who supported me, and those who welcomed me so warmly,” the striker added, referring to the Lyon team.
