Football: Endrick makes history at Wembley, 'child prodigy' - Football

2024-03-24T17:04:30.288Z

Highlights: Endrick Felipe Moreira de Sousa scored the winning goal for Brazil against England at Wembley. At 17 years and 246 days, Endrick became the youngest player to ever score a goal in the London temple of football with a national team. "If he confirms the aptitude shown yesterday in his few minutes played, he will be a name to remember for Brazilian and world football," said the Brazil coach, Dorival, who by launching him for his third appearance also made it the youngest Selecao goalscorer since Ronaldo.

Endrick Felipe Moreira de Sousa.

Talent scouts from all over the world had this name in their notebooks for some time, and those of Real Madrid burned them to ensure their future for an increasingly 'galactic' team.

Endrick is simply the way in which, starting from the name on the shirt, commentators and fans will call him in the coming years, when the 17-year-old talent from the Palmeiras academy will try to demonstrate that once again Brazil has pulled the right teenager out of its hat .


    The promise was signed with the goal with which the Selecao baby talent yesterday, nine minutes after coming on from the bench, scored the winning goal over England at Wembley: 1-0 in the 80th minute, and then the wink and the bye bye in favor of the camera.

At 17 years and 246 days, Endrick became the youngest player to ever score a goal in the London temple of football with a national team.


    "If he confirms the aptitude shown yesterday in his few minutes played, he will be a name to remember for Brazilian and world football", said the Brazil coach, Dorival, who by launching him for his third appearance also made it the youngest Selecao goalscorer since Ronaldo.

Signs of destiny, in short.

"He reminds me of Romario, in terms of his movements and the way he touches the ball," said former England midfielder Joe Cole, who was commentating on the match for TV.

And English observers agree in defining him as a "boy prodigy", in the tradition of the history of a national team that from Pelè to Ronaldo - without due distances - has always offered champions at an early age.


    Confirmation may come soon.

From July, when he turns 18, Endrick will land at Real Madrid.

Where he will speak 'the language of Vinicius, Rodrygo, Bellingham and Mbappe'.

And perhaps we understand why Carlo Ancelotti, between the offers from Brazil and the renewal in Spain, chose the second.
