Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Endrick scored his first goal for Brazil against England at age 17 years old.
Endrick will now have a well-deserved rest and will take advantage of it to make a fleeting visit to Madrid (he will be in attendance against Villarreal) to see the house in which he will live in Spain from June with his family. By then, he will be 18, the age required by FIFA for the transfer to become effective.
For the first time in 60 years, Brazil ended 2023 with more defeats than wins. Having beaten only Guinea, Bolivia and Peru and conceded more goals in their first six qualifying matches for the 2026 World Cup than they had in the entirety of qualification for 2022, it was a true annus horribilis for the Selecao.
Since Tite left after the penalty-shootout defeat to Croatia in Qatar, Brazil’s men’s side have existed in an odd state of limbo, with two equally disastrous caretaker managers overseeing staid defeat after staid defeat.
Youth manager Ramon Menezes lost two of his three matches in the senior job, once having to leg it from the U-20 South American Championship in Argentina to announce the squad. His successor, supposed visionary Fernando Diniz and Fluminense boss, had an equally bad record, winning two of his six games at the helm. 2023 has been called a “lost year” for Brazilian football.
