The 16-year-old striker played a leading role and scored one of the goals in Palmeiras’ 4-0 win against Fortaleza
Endrick, who made his debut as a starter, already makes the difference at 16 years old: he has scored three goals in the last two games with Verdao
Endrick already has his first title in professional football, the Brasileirao 2022, which he won this last morning. Palmeiras entered the game, at a partying Allianz Parque, knowing that they were mathematically champions due to Internacional’s stumble against América Mineiro (1-0), but Abel Ferreira’s team complied and thrashed Fortaleza 4-0 in a match very serious
And the ‘prodigy boy’, which Barcelona continues to have on its agenda, had a leading role in a victory with high symbolic value. Endrick scored a goal the day he made his debut as a starter and played 75 minutes at a very high level.
In the last two matches of the Brasileirao, Endrick has already scored three goals: a brace against Ath. Paranense that allowed the victory by 1-3; plus the goal against Fortaleza. He is the center forward in the best form of Verdao and will continue gaining experience in the three days that still remain to be played in the Brasileirao.
The best predictions have already been fulfilled with a specialist footballer in breaking early records. In these two months, he has adapted with extraordinary speed to the dynamics of one of the two best South American teams (the other is Flamengo, champion of the Libertadores).
In January, he will start the season as the starting number ‘9’ for a Verdao team that will try to win all the titles it will play.
The pressure from the greats of Europe will only increase. PSG have already offered 20 million euros that Palmeiras rejected. Real Madrid, which is always reactive, could already make a move. And Barça, which was the best placed a few months ago, has already informed Endrick’s agents that they will only make a move in the summer, since now all the resources are invested in the signings of the winter market where Barça will look for a midfielder and a right back.
