The coach emphasized the importance of gradual adaptation for the 17-year-old, adding, “Endrick has to adapt. I don’t help him if I use him when the team is in a difficult moment.”
Endrick, signed as one of football’s brightest talents, is seen as a long-term project for the club, with Ancelotti stressing patience in his development.
