When you open the current Real Madrid roster, you will find a very interesting phenomenon. Among all players, only three players have not received playing time in La Liga this season. They are Lu Ning at the goalkeeper position, Mendy who is injured and absent, and 19-year-old Brazilian striker Endrick. Lunin is in a special position, while Mendy is injured and unable to play. Enderrick is not injured, and his position is the center that Real Madrid needs. He will definitely not be able to compete with Mbappe in the starting lineup. However, after 9 rounds of the league, he did not even get the chance to be a substitute, which will inevitably disappoint the players.

According to news from multiple Spanish media, Endric once again waited on the bench for the entire game against Getafe. When he knew that he was not on the team's substitution list, he kicked over the water bottle angrily. Alonso was very dissatisfied with this, and it also gave some media the material to hype up the internal strife in the Real Madrid locker room. Enderrick is definitely dissatisfied with Alonso's arrangements, but given his identity and status in the Real Madrid locker room, it would be a bit overestimating for the 19-year-old young striker to become the source of internal strife. His prestige is difficult to gain the support of other teammates.

The Brazilian center, who was once worth as much as 60 million euros, has not played any playing time in any of Real Madrid's games this season. In the past five months, he has not been seen in any competition that Real Madrid has participated in. Under Ancelotti last season, although he was not a stable starter, he played 37 games as a substitute, scored 7 goals and provided 1 assist, which is still very satisfactory. However, under Alonso, his appearance sequence is not as good as Mastantono. The 18-year-old Argentine teenager has become a stable starter under Alonso.

Mastantuono has established a firm foothold in Real Madrid this season. He has played in 10 games in the league and Champions League, including 8 starts and scored 1 goal. At the age of 18, he can have such stable playing time in Real Madrid. It is no wonder that many people think that Alonso is cultivating his confidants. Endrick came to Real Madrid earlier than Mastantono, and his position seems to be more important, but Alonso seems to trust the Argentine teenager more and is unwilling to give Endrick a chance. Such an obvious gap does make it difficult for the young Brazilian striker to accept.

However, it is useless for Endrick to be dissatisfied. His problem is not a problem of position, but a problem of style and attitude. Mastantono is the left-footed player that Real Madrid needs. He can adapt to the right position and his ability to create opportunities is far greater than that of Endrick. Moreover, the running ability and defensive attitude he showed in the game are things that Endrick does not have. The comparative advantage between Endrick and Mastantono is not obvious. Real Madrid does not lack the role of a shooter, at least not in Alonso's tactics. Even if a player of this type is needed, he will not be the first choice. Therefore, Enderrick's refusal to leave Real Madrid in this summer window was an unwise choice for him. It will be difficult for him to get a chance to play if he stays here.
