Coupe de France: Endrick recounts his goal against Laval

On Wednesday night, Endrick netted his fifth goal in as many matches for OL. The Brazilian striker shared the story behind his stunning strike against Laval in the Coupe de France round of 16.

Without a breakthrough for 80 minutes against Laval (2-0) in Wednesday's Coupe de France clash, OL finally broke the deadlock thanks to a thunderous shot from Endrick. The young Brazilian forward recounted his goal after the match.

"It wasn't an easy match on a pitch like that. I didn't play well. But we showed courage. For the goal, I struck with all the rage I had, I let everything out. I kept wondering how we were going to score. That might have been the only chance I had the whole match, and I put it away. Yes, that's a bit of what being a number 9 is about, it's the shirt I wear, it's what number 9s do—shoot and score," said the player on loan from Real Madrid.
