"I'm 100% sure Endrick will be fantastic"

Milan coach Paulo Fonseca said on Wednesday that he is "100% sure" that Brazilian Endrick, Real Madrid's new signing, is going to be "a fantastic player", but that he will need time to adapt to Spanish football.

"I saw Endrick, he is a young player with a great future. He needs time, Spanish football is different from Brazil, but I'm 100 per cent sure he's going to be a fantastic player, more than he is today," Fonseca told the post-match press conference.

Endrick, 18, made his debut in Madrid's 1-0 friendly loss to Milan in Chicago on Wednesday, the first of their U.S. tour.

Fonseca expressed his appreciation for Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti and praised the level of the Madrid squad, although he acknowledged that he was only focused on his players on Wednesday.
