Speaker 1: Brazilian sensation, and Drick wasted no time making an impact
in Real Madrid's opening preseason exhibition, scoring a clinical early
goal during a two to two draw against Italian side
ACF Fiorentina at the Werthersea Stadion in Clagenfurt, Austria. The
match marked Jose Mourinho's first public game in charge of
Los Blancos since taking over as head coach. Navigating a
defensive shortage due to injuries and post tournament international breaks,
Mourinho named a balanced line up, blending senior stars like
Eduardo Kimovinga, Federico Valverde and new signing Trent Alexander Arnold,
alongside academy talents Joan Martinez and Mario Rebas. Andrik spearheaded
the attack and took just twelve minutes to open his
pre season account. Left Back Alvaro Carreras whipped a dangerous
ball into the penalty area from the flink, where Endric
showcased razor sharp instincts, taking a precise touch to set himself.
The twenty year old forward life ushed a low strike
past former Manchester United goalkeeper David Dehea to give Real
Madrid a one to zero advantage Real Madrid expanded their
lead shortly after, before Fiorantina fought back into the contest.
Forward Roberto Picoli pulled one back for the Serie A
side before the halftime break, and substitute Mauise Keen leveled
the score midway through this second period to cap off
an entertaining two to two draw. Endrich's sharp movement and
decisive finishing offer an encouraging sign for Maurinho as Real
Madrid continue their pre season schedule in Hungary and Germany
before kicking off their La Liga campaign against Espanol later
this month.
