“No one is supposed to know me well. I am the one who is arriving, I have to introduce myself. The more you win at Madrid, the more you have to win. There’s no rest,” Endrick said ahead of the Copa America.
He added, “The biggest difference between South America and Europe is the intensity of the game, but Palmeiras is the most European of Brazilian teams, and that will help in my adaptation.” The No. 9 jersey has been previously donned by Brazilian maestros such as Ronaldo and Tastao, and by the likes of Gabriel Jesus and Richarlison in recent times.

Endrick has sealed a number of records so far, having become the first Brazilian since Pele to have notched goals in consecutive appearances before turning 18. He has found the back of the net in Wembley and Spain even before his career at the Los Blancos is yet to kick off properly.
The 2006-born player has grown up idolising Cristiano Ronaldo, along with other Brazilians who have starred for Real Madrid, such as Eder Militao, Rodrygo, and Vinicius Jr. As per reports, he grew up in impoverished circumstances, with both his parents working for in a cafe in a Sao Paulo underground station.
Will Endrick make a mark in Copa America before going on to join the Los Blancos, who won the recently-concluded UEFA Champions League final of 2023-24 against Borussia Dortmund? An exciting time awaits in the career of one of Brazil’s most prodigious footballing talents.
