Endrick to OL: Chris Waddle’s Verdict

In an interview given to MadeInFOOTChris Waddle (65), former attacking midfielder for Olympique de Marseille between 1989 and 1992, spoke about the signing of Endrick at Olympique Lyonnais during this winter transfer window. Player of the Marseille club 140 times in all competitions, the former winger seems to follow the French championship closely. Furthermore, the former international spoke about the career choice of the young 19-year-old Brazilian. According to him, this step in France in Ligue 1 could help him find stability and continuity which he has so far lacked, particularly at Real Madrid.

“We have to be honest: if he had won at Real Madrid, he would not be at Lyon today. So it’s a gamble. He will obviously be paid very well. Let’s hope that this visit to Lyon allows him to get back on track, gain playing time and regularity. The expectations around him have been enormous, perhaps too much for such a young player. Lyon can offer him a calmer environment, without the constant pressure. And maybe we’ll finally see the real Endrick.”he notified the media, demonstrating real confidence in himself. Author of five goals and an assist in five games with OL, the player who is fighting to join the Seleçao at the 2026 World Cup fits a little deeper into the hearts of Rhone supporters, and visibly gives confidence to the ex-Marseillais.
