Why Endrick has been given the nickname 'Bobby' by his Real Madrid team-mates

Real Madrid stars have playfully teased their new teammate Endrick after the Brazilian wonderkid scored his first goal for Los Blancos.

The 18-year-old player received a warm welcome at Santiago Bernabeu following his move, which came after the signing of former PSG striker Kylian Mbappe.

However, Endrick's debut game and goal for Madrid in LaLiga against Real Valladolid prompted several teammates to flood his Instagram and jokingly refer to him as 'Bobby'.

The playful support comes after Endrick surprised the football world by revealing that his football idol is England World Cup winner and Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton in an interview with Delantero09.

Although Sir Bobby's talents were undisputed, the youngster stunned the audience by picking a player who had retired from football in 1973, 33 years before Endrick's birth date.

Previously, the Brazil international revealed he likes to select him in his all-time team on EA Sports FC 24, and mentioned his name after the friendly game against England.

Endrick became the youngest player to score a goal at Wembley that night, leading his team to a 1-0 victory.

'Bobby Charlton is an idol here,' said the youngster. 'Playing in the stadium where Bobby played, scoring a goal on the date Ronaldo made his debut, it is a landmark date.'

He had another dream night, scoring a goal at the full Santiago Bernabeu just ten minutes after replacing Kylian Mbappe on the field.

After only a month since joining the team, the player has already won the UEFA Super Cup trophy, his first title in the white shirt.

His fellow teammate Jude Bellingham was the first Madrid star to decide to support him in such a hilarious way, commenting on the player's Instagram post with 'Vamos Bobby!!!' accompanied by a white heart emoji.

Fans and other teammates were also quick to adopt his new nickname, naming the player 'Bobby Jnr'.

However, other football supporters criticised the player for choosing his current teammate Jude Bellingham over Neymar in another interview with Delantero09, leading to laughing emojis from Barcelona's Raphinha and former Chelsea centre back Thiago Silva.

Endrick's £62m plus £10m transfer to Real Madrid was among the most anticipated of this summer transfer window.

Los Blancos had to wait for the attacker's 18th birthday as FIFA rules prevent players under the age of 18 from being transferred abroad.

The youngster is currently preparing to face his next opponent, Las Palmas, in an away LaLiga game on Thursday.
