Marca: Ancelotti Visits Real Madrid, Checks on Endrick and Two Other Brazilian Players

According to Marca, the Italian coach greeted the entire squad before training began and specifically exchanged greetings with Endrick, Rodrygo and Militão. He also closely monitored the training situations of the three players, as they were all training separately while continuing their recoveries.

This was not an ordinary visit. Endrick, Rodrygo and Militão are all key Brazilian national team players who were coached personally by Ancelotti, so the manager wanted to confirm their physical conditions himself before the next international break.

At the last World Cup, Brazil were eliminated by Norway in the round of 16, and Ancelotti had no choice at the time but to rely on Endrick, Rodrygo and Militão. All three have suffered long-term injuries and continue to experience the effects of those setbacks.

Mourinho specifically welcomed Ancelotti and accompanied him to the training ground to greet the players.

The relationship between Ancelotti and Real Madrid under Mourinho's management has long gone beyond a purely institutional level. Two weeks ago, when the Portuguese coach was asked about Endrick at a press conference, he also took the initiative to mention his Italian counterpart, showing the good relationship between the two.

Mourinho emphasized that this friendship now makes communication between the club and the Brazil national team smoother.
