Looking for a striker, OL should soon welcome Endrick from Real Madrid, on loan until the end of the season. Frank Leboeuf hopes that his move to Ligue 1 will be a success, but believes that the Brazilian international will not change the face of Les Gones on his own.
Unless the situation changes, theOL already has a first reinforcement this winter in the person of Endrick. Used very little after Xabi Alonsothe 19-year-old striker is expected to be loaned until the end of the season, before returning to Real Madrid next summer. One more solution for Paulo Fonsecabut can the Brazilian international (14 caps) be the X factor of Gone in the second half of the season?
“If you don’t give a center forward a good ball, he’s going to struggle”
« I always have a big question. If you don’t give a center forward a good ball, he’s going to struggle. We see it with Haaland, who is the best striker in the world. But if you don’t provide it, the guy doesn’t score a goal. He can’t create an opportunity on his own. There are players who were capable of doing that, like Sonny Anderson, since we’re talking about OL. There were players like that: Didier Drogba, Thierry Henry too… But some need to be given the right balls, and that’s not necessarily easy », replied Frank Leboeuf when the question was put to him by MadeInFOOT.
“I want to believe it, but it’s not going to be the sorcerer who changes everything”
« Endrick is a very good player, but he is still very young », added the 1998 world champion withFrench team. « He needs to regain his confidence, I want to believe that, but it’s not going to be the sorcerer who will change everything. He has no experience, he will be swallowed up by the group, if the group works well, it will work, but if this is not the case, he will fall from a height, that’s normal he is young. »
