Brazil summons Endrick for an eight-day training camp in Sao Paulo to prepare for the 2023 South American Under-17
In the list of the Seleçao Sub-17 also highlights the presence of Rayan, the striker of Vasco da Gama that Barça monitors
The CBF fully trusts the evolution of Endrick, whom it sees as a footballer who can become a figure. However, he does not want to burn stages in his training, despite the fact that, at 16, he is already training in the first team of Palmeiras, current leader of the Brasileirao. The Verdao center forward, who is on Barcelona’s agenda, is the most prominent name in the Seleçao U-17 squad, which will hold an eight-day training camp between October 3 and 11 in Sao Paulo.
The objective of the coach, Phelipe Leal, is to prepare the team that will participate in the South American U-17 Championshipscheduled from March 30 to April 23 next year in Ecuador.
Endrick is the undisputed star of the Seleçao U-17. In the call of 22 players, the presence of the left-handed striker of Vasco da Gama, Rayan, also stands out, which Barça monitors on the advice of Deco, sports adviser to the president Joan Laporta and there are interesting footballers such as the left back Esquerdinhafrom the Fluminense.
In this 2022, Endrick has debuted in the youth categories of Brazil. His coming-out was in April at the Mundialito de Montaigú, in France. And the ‘9’ from Palmeira had a fantastic performance: he lifted the title with his partner, was chosen MVP of the tournament and finished as a striker.
Endrick’s performance, in what was his debut in Europe, caused a great impact among the scouts of the big clubs of the continentwho were analyzing their evolutions in situ.
The title with Brazil was one of the three that the ‘prodigy boy’ has won this year. The others were the Copa Sao Paulo de Juniores, with which Palmeiras broke a historic jinx, and the Copa do Brasil Sub-17, in which Verdao beat Vasco da Gama in a very interesting final.
