Endrick was criticized.

Lyon coach Paulo Fonseca frankly pointed out the young striker's declining form during the team's crisis period.

Fonseca didn't shy away from commenting on Endrick's performance, the player currently on loan at Lyon from Real Madrid. "I'm not happy with Endrick's performance. He's tired after returning from Brazil, but he still has a responsibility to do better. We need him," Fonseca emphasized after the draw against Angers.

This statement clearly reflects the pressure weighing on Lyon. The French team has just been eliminated from the Europa League by Celta Vigo, knocked out of the French Cup, and is experiencing a run of six consecutive winless matches in Ligue 1. This crisis of form has led to intense scrutiny of every individual, especially the attacking players.

Endrick is one of the most criticized players. The striker, born in 2006, has not made a clear impact recently. He is criticized for lacking presence on the field and failing to live up to expectations in terms of his ability to create breakthroughs.

Coach Fonseca admitted he still trusts the Brazilian player, but demands more. “Endrick needs to work harder and be more present in important situations,” he said. In fact, Lyon is having to rely on other options such as Alfonso Moreira, a player who previously played in the Portuguese third division.

Endrick's form has clearly declined.

Endrick's form has clearly declined. He hasn't scored since his hat-trick on January 25th, while his only goal in European competition came against Celta Vigo. This prolonged goal drought has called into question the young striker's role.

The international break also affected Endrick's fitness. He only played 13 minutes in the match against Croatia and did not feature when Brazil faced France. The hectic travel schedule meant the 19-year-old was not in his best form when he returned to his club.

Off the pitch, Endrick also received good news as he and his wife Gabriely are expecting their first child. However, amidst Lyon's decline, all attention remains focused on his performance.

The pressure is clear. And given what Fonseca has shown, Endrick doesn't have much time left to prove his worth.
