Endrick became the youngest player of the Brazilian national team since 1994, when Ronaldo, later two-time world champion and three-time winner of the FIFA poll for the best player in the world, appeared in the team for the first time.
“He is a player who has great potential. We’ll see if he manages to confirm him,” said Diniz at the press conference about Endrick. “The nomination does not mean that he is under pressure. It’s an appreciation and a glimpse into the future of what this kid can be. The boy born in 2006 has to get my attention when he performs what he performs. At the moment, he is shining, he is playing against excellent teams in Brazil and he is able to establish himself,” said the Brazilian coach.
Last December, Endrick was already secured by Real Madrid, who signed a five-year contract with him valid from the summer of next year. According to the media, Palmeiras will collect 72 million euros (about 1.7 billion crowns) for him. He made his first team debut last October. So far he has played 45 matches for Palmeiras and scored 13 goals.
