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 filigree 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 when Brazil lost a game at the World Cup, there were street fights. 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.
III. Proudly

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 if it weren’t for his injuries, but this boy could come very close to Ronaldo. If Endrick doesn’t take off, stays out of injury and puts everything into football, he’ll have a chance to have 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 have 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 shirt. He has already found the right jersey

Of course, this has nothing to do with genes, I wonder how the user came up with such a narrow board.
You are already very close to the whole thing, football is also religion and national sport number 1 in Brazil.
They play everywhere, no matter if on the Copacabana, any soccer fields or backyards. In addition, Brazil has over 210 million inhabitants, which means that this country has a larger pool.
Good technology is no coincidence – for most people, football is the only way out of their own poverty and to create a better life for themselves and their parents/family. They often go to bed with their ball (if they have one), look up at the big idols like: Romario, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Pele, Rivaldo, Neymar and now Vinicius, because they made it too. These were all boys who came from poverty, not like Kaka, for example, who came from the upper middle class.
In Brazil, the boys mainly play football and they do it with a fine blade – the real street footballers. Not like here in Germany, where 11-year-olds are best at dancing 20 systems backwards.
They just kick, kick and kick there – football is passion, together with your inner lightness, the samba and yet they feel the permanent poverty, which they would like to escape. Then more is done for, like sports talent x/y at a German sports boarding school, who may still come from a good family and the boy, if necessary, graduates and can study. Many German kids are often simply too soft from home, by their parents or by the DFB, who would have preferred to smooth out their youngsters.
e. Incidentally, this is also a point from which the French, especially Paris, are currently extremely benefiting. The French not only have the best youth development with boarding schools, etc., but many players also have the bite to escape the banlieue to have a better future. They play on artificial turf pitches or concrete pitches in the worst ghettos, etc. That’s often their only option in the banlieue, which means the competitive pressure is higher. Because you always have to give more when there are already some good kickers in your immediate vicinity. They are just willing to do more and you can see that at the moment with how many well-known / current French kickers come from the banlieue.
Coman, Benzema, Diaby, Mbappe, Kante, Pogba, Ribery, plus former players Henry, Zidane, Anelka.
Then there is the said Center National du Football in Clairefontaine, the training camp where legends and exceptional talents like Anelka, Henry or Mbappe have gone through.
Here in Germany, people focus on tactics far too early instead of letting the young players do it first, because you don’t learn these technical details later, but you can learn tactics. Most of the players are certainly technically well trained, but there is still a huge gap to the right ball artists – because I don’t see any German kicker at the moment who can even begin to handle the ball like an Iniesta or Isco.
That’s why there are no Iniesta, David Silva, Isco, Xavi, Santi, Pogba, Maradona, R9 and many more in Germany. who can do everything with the ball because the kids are weaned from playing football much too early. The finest technician of the last decade was Mesut Özil of all people – someone with a Turkish backkround who still saw himself as a street footballer. And you saw this flair every time Mesut was on the ball – it was pure magic in his Prime in Madrid.
Most of the young German players are doing far too well too early, they get everything added to them early on, many never really had to assert themselves or bite through, often had an intact family home and often well-earning parents. Very few had to bite their way from the very, very low and tough environment to the very top, such as Zidane, Pogba, Benzema, Maradona, Cristiano, R9, Rivaldo (who lost his teeth as a youth due to malnutrition and walked 20km to training, because he didn’t have a bike) – On the contrary, chauffeured by mum and dad to training by car early on, then a scout will notice and you’ve made it to some extent and you might be at a well-known sports boarding school.
Measured in terms of promoting young talent, Germany lags behind in far too many points. It all starts with letting children be children and letting the kids do their thing with the ball, we also train the young players from the rough and smooth to the point of training them as strikers.
And that’s why these super talents often come from other countries, because they bring more with them at 14 and then often only need to be fine-tuned, discipline, what it means to be a professional, etc.
