According to reports from sources close to the squad, Endrick’s extreme discipline and maturity may have actually made him an outlier among his teammates. Despite being one of the most highly rated prospects in the world, insiders say Endrick has become socially isolated within the team for one surprising reason: he was just… too good.
A Young Saint Among Sinners?
Since arriving in Madrid, Endrick has reportedly avoided all the usual distractions that come with fame and fortune. He doesn’t go to bars, doesn’t party, and — to the shock of some of his more seasoned teammates — consistently says “No” to beautiful girls.
“He’s like a monk with a football,” one anonymous source joked. “No nightlife, no scandals, no fun — just training, protein shakes, and early sleep.”
This straight-edged lifestyle has earned Endrick a curious nickname inside the dressing room: “Padre Endrick”, a nod to fellow Brazilian Kaka, who was once teased with the same moniker due to his devout faith and clean-cut image.
Some even go a step further, referring to him as “Father Kaka 2.0.”
Difficult to Approach?
While his professionalism is admired by the coaching staff, several teammates have reportedly found Endrick “difficult to approach.” In a squad where camaraderie is often built over nights out or shared mischief, Endrick’s refusal to join in has made him feel like a stranger in his own team.
“He’s focused, no doubt,” said a training staff member. “But sometimes the guys joke that he’s here to save their souls, not score goals.”
Still a Star on the Pitch
Despite the social gap, there’s no denying Endrick’s impact on the field. Coaches have praised his work ethic, his sharp tactical understanding, and his relentless drive to improve. Some believe his discipline is exactly what Real Madrid needs in the next generation of leadership.
Whether he’ll eventually loosen up or continue living like a footballing monk remains to be seen — but one thing’s for sure: “Padre Endrick” is already preaching the gospel of greatness at the Bernabéu.
