As Brazil defeated England on Saturday, teenage wonder Endrick scored the game’s winning goal, earning him a spot in the record books among some of the Seleção’s greatest players.
The 1-0 Victory
At Wembley Stadium in London, Endrick entered the game halfway through the second half and scored his first goal for his country in the 80th minute, sending Brazil to a 1-0 victory. In the last seconds of the match, Jordan Pickford, the England goalkeeper, denied him another chance to score.
Endrick made history at Wembley, known as the “home of football,” by being the youngest male player to score an international goal at the age of 17 years and 246 days.
Endrick, The Latest Brazilian Football Prodigy
Additionally, since the legendary scorer Ronaldo Nazario left the club in 1994, he became the youngest player to score for Brazil. Ronaldo, often known by his nickname O Fenômeno, is regarded as one of the all-time great soccer players and led Brazil to two World Cup victories. Because of their similar playing techniques, Endrick has also made comparisons between him and other players.
It’s a distinct sensation. Afterward, Endrick told Brazil’s Globo television, “I’m still processing it,” according to Reuters. “I’m holding back because I’m not much of a crier, but it’s something special, and I’m very happy.”
Endrick is the most recent in Brazil’s long history of producing talented athletes, and he is expected to succeed in the top division.
The Contract With Real Madrid
Real Madrid, a massive Spanish sports team, revealed in December 2022 that it had struck an agreement with Endrick to sign a contract worth €70 million ($74.77 million) to join the team in July of this year, when he turns 18.
Prior to joining Real Madrid, he made his breakthrough at Brazilian team Palmeiras, where he played just 307 senior minutes. He is still playing for the São Paulo-based team while he waits to go to Spain.
In addition to becoming the only player in club history to have won trophies at every age group, Endrick made history as the youngest player to debut and score for Palmeiras. He was given his first call-up to the Brazil national team in November of last year due to his impressive exploits, and this Saturday’s participation marked his third cap for the group.
“In the arena where Pelé was never able to play… Tim Vickery, a specialist in South American football, said to BBC Radio 5 Live afterward, “Endrick scored his first goal for his country and the winning goal against England.”
Endrick And The Dorival Juniors
“After leaving the field, he speaks with the Brazilian press about Bobby Charlton. The child is a genius. Endrick’s goal versus England was crucial as well since it gave newly appointed Brazil manager Dorival Junior his first win in the position.
Dorival Junior started eleven players, five of whom were making their debuts. His team had the greatest chances throughout the contest, with Lucas Paquetá striking the crossbar in the 35th minute.
