"I'm a bit angry because I could have done better"

Brazilian Endrick, scorer of Real Madrid's goal in their 1-0 win over Real Sociedad in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals, said they did "what they had to do" on their way to going for the title.

"Playing here is difficult, but we did what we had to do. It's a good 0-1 for us because we have the second leg at home and we're going for the Copa", he told “Realmadrid TV”.

Endrick analysed his goal and regretted missing a second chance, with a strong shot that went over the crossbar: "It was a good goal. I had to control well and I shot with the outside of my head. I know I can help the team by scoring goals or running and I'm very happy."

"Now I'm a bit angry because I could have done better, but I'm going to improve by looking at my mistakes," he added. Finally, he valued his minutes in Copa del Rey in a season in which he is having little prominence in other competitions: "I'm a worker and I have to work. I like to help the team and I'm happy with my fourth goal in the Copa".
