Why is Endrick nickname ‘Bobby’? Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has cleared the air over the Brazilian starlet’s intriguing pet name.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why is Endrick Nicknamed ‘Bobby’?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Real Madrid’s perpetual cycle of unearthing the best and the brightest Brazilian talents has continued with the integration of Endrick, who has not let the arrival of Kylian Mbappe<\/a> overshadow his own start to life in Madrid.<\/p>\n

The recently-turned 18-year-old has only been offered a collective 20 minutes worth of game time from manager Carlo Ancelotti, but that has yielded two goals – including a fizzing solo effort from outside the box on his Champions League debut.<\/p>\n

Having arrived in the Spanish capital with a guarantee to thrill, his star quality is clear to see despite a relative lack of minutes so far.<\/p>\n

As his compatriots and club teammates Vinicus Jr and Rodrygo can attest, bide your time and you will be rewarded.<\/p>\n

His infectious feel-good character is proving popular amongst his teammates, who have already coined the nickname ‘Bobby’ for the teenager.<\/p>\n

Rarely have his colleagues called him by his actual name of late in post-match interviews, which has raised intrigue amongst fans and the media.<\/p>\n

Madrid shotstopper Thibaut Courtois has now revealed the truth behind Endrick’s nickname, saying it stems from Brazil’s meeting with England at Wembley back in March.<\/p>\n

After scoring, the teenager was reported as saying England legend Sir Bobby Charlton was one of his idols.<\/p>\n

Courtois has since sought to clear up a few details about the comments – speaking to the press in Spain, he said: \u201cHe told me that he had been misinterpreted, that what he wanted to refer to had been changed a bit, or something like that.<\/p>\n

“I asked him about it one day and he told me that he hadn’t given that answer, that later the video was changed as if he said that he was his idol.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the original story being not what it seems, Courtois did go on to reveal Jude Bellingham is the actual reason why the nickname ‘Bobby’ has stuck.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cJude Bellingham started calling him ‘Bobby’ and well, after a while everyone does it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
