Real Madrid forward Endrick has issued a poignant warning to young players about the mental toll of fame, admitting that the total loss of privacy is one of his most difficult challenges.
Real Madrid forward Endrick has candidly addressed the struggles of achieving global celebrity at a remarkably young age.
Having been recruited by the Spanish giants at 16 and debuted for Brazil at 17, the striker admitted that his meteoric rise has been emotionally draining.
He cautioned that the intense scrutiny accompanying professional success often outweighs the perceived benefits of wealth and status.
The teenager expressed a deep yearning for a future defined by peace rather than public observation.
Endrick stated: “Those who imagine that fame only rhymes with privilege and happiness are wrong. For me, it is even one of the most difficult trials to live: we lose all privacy, every gesture is observed, every word is scrutinized. I hope that one day, I can simply live in peace.”
