    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The 18-year-old, who was booked in the game, has already caught some criticism since making the move to Madrid from Palmeiras due to some of his on-field decisions, but he is not concerned about the reaction his team's latest performance attracts.

  • WHAT ENDRICK SAID

    He told TNT Sports in Brazil: "To be honest, I don't see anything. That's what football is; you can score a goal today, and everyone is excited, but when you lose, they throw you down. This happened to me, a long time ago, when I was at Palmeiras. I learned not to see. I press that little 'it doesn't matter' button. I only follow the advice of my coach and my team-mates. That's what's important. What comes from outside, I don't care at all."
