It is difficult to say whether this has anything to do directly with the genes. I’m not a scientist. But there are other reasons that are plausible.
I. Culture
Football plays more than just a big role for the Brazilians. Football is more than just sport. You just live it. Football is omnipresent there. In relation to the delicate movements, dancing also plays an important role. Almost everyone in Brazil can dance samba and co perfectly. They have it “in their blood” because everyone there likes to dance. I don’t think there is any other country or culture where dancing is so important for everyday life and so “sacred”. My unke once told me that there used to be street fights when Brazil lost a game at the World Cup. Cars were set on fire. We only know something like that from Hamburg, when HH was the G7 host, or at other heavy demos, which thank God don’t happen that often.
II. Socio-economic reasons
Brazil, for example, has a much smaller population than China or India, but football has a completely different status there. But this also has to do with the economic situation. Even as small children, the Brazilians played football in the neighborhood on very poor ground. It doesn’t matter whether it’s asphalt, uneven meadows or a mud place. Simply ram 2 stones or pegs into the ground and you have marked the gate. Then play until dusk. Sometimes even until you can no longer see the ball or the other teammates/opponents. In addition to the love of football, this is also an escape from reality. Because many Brazilians live in poverty. In the USA the saying “from rags to riches” applies. In Brazil then “from street footballer to millionaire/star and pride of the nation”. Many have done it before them. They serve as role models. Be it Pele, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Neymar (just to name a few). If the academies had as much money as in Western Europe, I’m sure Brazil would produce many more exceptional players. There are many reports of bras.stars saying their parents had to use what little “last savings” they had to drive them to practice. Here in Western Europe, the youth players get a training contract and can live with it. In Brazil only when they get a professional contract. Exceptions prove the rule. A club like Endrick will get enough to live on by the age of 15. The space conditions on which the juniors play are catastrophic. Even children’s soccer fields or school soccer fields in Germany are better and more modern. But, lately the infrastructure has improved in Brazil as well.

On the subject:
I’m not a scout and I don’t have the time to watch a player in detail. But what I saw left me speechless I am deeply impressed by him. I might be a little biased because I think Ronaldo is the best and most brilliant player of all time had it not been for his injuries, but this boy could come very close to Ronaldo. If Endrick doesn’t stand out, stays spared from injuries and submits everything to football, he has the chance to make a stellar career! Yes, there are many ifs. Anything can happen at such a young age to throw a kid off course, but talent-wise he’s incredible. Yes, even more talent than Neymar and almost as much as Ronaldo. If everything goes according to plan and the gods of football are with him, he could boast numbers like CR7/Messi. Unfortunately, if it goes wrong, he could become the next Freddy Adu…
Anyway, I’ll keep my fingers crossed for him!
PS: There is a video of him wearing a Real Madrid jersey. He has already found the right jersey
