Cicinho was interviewed by ESPN at the "Game for Kids" event hosted by UNICEF and talked about Endrick's future.

He said: "If there are not many opportunities, it is best to leave. The team around Endrick is very professional. Of course we all want to see him play. I have played for Real Madrid and know how fierce the competition is. As for me, because I lost my position at that time, I chose to leave because I wanted to play happily. But such decisions still need to be communicated well with the club management."

"If the head coach makes it clear that he will use him, then stick to staying and wait for the opportunity. It will be worth it. But if it's clear that opportunities are limited, then leaving is the better option. If it were me, I would choose to go out on loan because the World Cup is just around the corner and he may become an important member of the national team. "

Cicinho briefly played for Real Madrid from January 2006 to the summer of 2007, playing a total of 32 times and contributing 3 goals and 5 assists. He lost his main position in the second season after joining. In 2007, he transferred to Roma due to insufficient playing time.
