Endrick continues to make fans crazy.

On March 27, Endrick scored a goal for Spain in the 3-3 draw of “Selecao”. Although the match at Santiago Bernabeu was only a friendly, the impressive performance from the 17-year-old star continued to impress fans.

Three days earlier, Endrick scored the only goal to help Brazil defeat England 1-0 in a friendly match at Wembley Stadium. At 17 years and 246 days, Endrick is the youngest player to ever score against England at Wembley.

In the history of Brazilian football, before Endrick, only one player under 18 years old had ever scored in two consecutive matches for “Selecao”. In 1957, Pele achieved this achievement.

The “King of Soccer” also discovered his talent early at the age of 16 and was called up to the Brazilian national team. Pele then scored his first goal for Brazil at the age of 16 years and 270 days, holding the record for the youngest person to ever score for the “Selecao”.

Experts and Brazilian fans expect Endrick to follow in the footsteps of Pele, Ronaldinho or Neymar. Players born in 2006 are considered a phenomenon that has only appeared in samba football for decades.

This summer, Endrick will officially train and play for Real Madrid . In December 2022, Real Madrid won the race to sign Endrick, spending up to 72 million euros on Palmeiras to own this young talent. This is an all-time record transfer price for a teenage player.
