The future Real striker Endrick made his first big statement in European football on Saturday evening: As a joker, he scored the only goal of the evening in the international match between England and Brazil. After the game, he amazed everyone with a tribute to legend Sir Bobby Charlton.
The attacker, who is only 17 years old, already makes a very stable and reflected impression. Some time ago he made it public that he was not only learning Spanish and English, but also sign language because, according to his own statement, he wanted to communicate with everyone who wanted to communicate with him. After the Seleçao’s 1-0 win at Wembley on Saturday, in which Endrick scored the first goal in his third international match, he talks about English football legend Sir Bobby Charlton.
Endrick knows both the history of the long-time Man Utd professional, who died last October, and the importance of Wembley. “Someone who is an idol here is Bobby Charlton. Playing in the same stadium where Bobby played and scoring on the day Ronaldo made his debut are very important memories for me,” Endrick told reporters.
Another anecdote concerns the video game EA FC 24: “I played in career mode with the national team. Now I played my first game at Wembley and actually scored a goal. That’s what came to mind.”
