The match took place at Soldier Field stadium in Chicago (USA) in front of 61,568 spectators. This is considered an opportunity for Endrick to show his talent in the context of Real Madrid missing Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo.
However, the 18-year-old striker only had one shot on target during the first half before being replaced. However, coach Carlo Ancelotti still praised Endrick 's talent .
"Endrick is a player with something really special. He is very fast, very dangerous in tight spaces and has good turning ability. All these qualities mean Endrick is a great talent . It's rare to see a player with such characteristics" - said the Italian strategist.
Nigerian winger Samuel Chukwueze scored the decisive goal for AC Milan in the 56th minute. This is the second consecutive victory for Paulo Fonseca's team in the 2024 summer friendly match series.
"We competed, fought and did the right things. The first game had a lot of young players, so it was important to be competitive. We had some impressive moments, along with some good moments." Other moments need to be improved. It's quite normal.
Being evaluated positively, being able to play in this match is the dream of young players. We also manage the first team players well, but now they should not play more than 45 minutes. We still have to prepare for other matches," Ancelotti added.
A few days later, Real Madrid will meet Barcelona in the El Clasico match taking place in New Jersey.
