Endrick teases Vini Jr over Virgínia, ex-Flamengo: “Payback’s coming” | OneFootball

Joke Between Forwards Sparked Reactions on Social Media

The relaxed atmosphere around the Brazilian National Team led to yet another playful moment between the players. This Monday (22), Endrick used social media to tease Vini Jr., the forward who came through Flamengo’s academy, and ended up stirring up the internet. The young Lyon (France) player posted a photo alongside his teammate and wrote just one phrase in the caption: “Big Seven.”

The expression, which in Portuguese means “Grande Sete,” refers to the number worn by Vini Jr. and became well known after being used by Virgínia Fonseca to refer to the player while they were dating. So Endrick’s joke was a bit of a low blow.

WHAT DID VINI SAY?

Not wasting any time, Vini Jr. responded to his teammate’s jab. The forward reposted Endrick’s post and sent a playful message. “There’ll be payback,” wrote the former Flamengo player, making it clear that the joking between the friends is far from over.

The moment happened during Brazil’s preparations for the World Cup clash against Scotland. The players took part in training as usual and made the most of the relaxed atmosphere to capture a few moments. Endrick’s post quickly spread across social media, with fans commenting on the interaction between the two forwards.

SO, WHAT ABOUT THE NICKNAME?

The term “Big Seven” gained notoriety after Virgínia used it in reference to Vini Jr. The expression is a nod to the number 7, worn by the forward for both the Brazilian National Team and Real Madrid. Since then, the nickname has been repeated by fans and friends of the player, becoming something of a trademark associated with the No. 7 shirt.

In recent weeks, Vini Jr.’s name has also returned to entertainment headlines due to rumors of a possible rekindling with Virgínia. Despite the speculation, neither the forward nor the influencer has officially commented on the matter.

SO WHAT IS THE FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN ENDRICK AND VINI JR REALLY LIKE?

Teammates on the Brazilian National Team, Endrick and Vini Jr. have a close relationship and often share lighthearted moments behind the scenes. The age difference between the two has never been an obstacle to their friendship, and the jokes have become common during training camps under Carlo Ancelotti.

As Brazil prepares for another World Cup match, the duo continues to steal the spotlight off the pitch as well. And judging by the warning Vini Jr. gave on social media, Endrick can expect a response very soon, adding even more fuel to the banter between two of the biggest names in Brazilian football today.
