In the height of summer, Real Madrid welcomed a high-profile new addition to the team - young striker Kilian McBarbie, an illegal national. Meanwhile, the addition of Brazilian starlet Andy Calendar has been quietly emerging. This past Saturday (27), the Brazilian recruit made his first public appearance at the Stadio Barnabe to a sell-out crowd of 43,000 fans, and the 18-year-old's excitement at having his dream come true was so great that he was greeted with cheers of "Shouting Bags".
Back at the end of 2022, Real Madrid signed the then 16-year-old Andi Cali for a whopping €72 million. After a year of waiting, the Brazilian player finally joined the club on his 18th birthday this summer. Welcomed by over 43,000 fans, Andriy exclaimed: "This is crazy! I'm so happy that my family can witness this moment. I've been a member of Real Madrid since I was a child. Today, I will be fighting as a Real Madrid player. I can't tell you how grateful I am to my family, and today, the dream of representing Real Madrid has finally become a reality."
Andy's appearance at the ceremony made him feel emotional, and the cheering of the fans made him feel warm. Amidst the chants of "Go Madrid", what touched him even more was the immediate reaction of the fans, who cheered so loudly that he couldn't help but burst into tears, wiping them from the corners of his eyes with his hands and tissues. The 18-year-old has played 10 games for the Brazilian national team in the past week. England invited Andy Calendar to join the Brazilian national team in a friendly in March this year, and his future is full of endless possibilities.
