While the goal was a moment of celebration for the fans, for Endrick, it appeared to be a deeply personal catharsis. His celebration was notably intense, and he later revealed that his recent performances had left him simmering with an internal frustration that only a goal could cure. The anger was primarily directed at himself following Lyon's previous fixture, where he felt he had let his teammates down.
The 19-year-old was candid about the emotional weight he had been carrying since the match against Lille, where Lyon struggled to find their rhythm despite winning 1-0. "When I scored, I released all the anger I had because, as I said, for me, we did not play a good match, but the most important thing is the victory," he added.
Endrick's exceptional start to life in France has seen him score five goals in just five appearances. His January arrival has provided Lyon with a much-needed focal point in attack, transforming them into one of the most dangerous sides in the competition.
