Former Real Madrid winger Savio Bortolini has offered valuable advice to Brazilian starlet Endrick as the young attacker faces challenges at the Santiago Bernabéu. With limited playing time on the pitch, Savio urged the 18-year-old to remain mentally strong and patient as he navigates the intense pressures of playing for one of the world’s biggest clubs.

Drawing from his own experience of joining Real Madrid at a young age, Savio understands the weight of expectations that comes with being part of the Spanish giants. Speaking to Relevo, he shared, Things started very early with him [Endrick]. He has to pay a lot of attention so that the emotional part doesn’t affect him. He’s going to have moments of ups and downs; that happened to me. You have to keep a cool head, strong. If not… it’s complicated.

Savio, who played for Real Madrid in the late 1990s and early 2000s, emphasized the importance of resilience and hard work, encouraging Endrick to stay focused despite the challenges of adapting to life at a club of Real Madrid’s stature.

As Endrick continues to develop and adjust to the demands of top-tier football, Savio’s words serve as a reminder that patience and perseverance are key to thriving in such a high-pressure environment.
