Flamengo player ‘irked’ by Endrick treatment before Brazil game

What happened with Lucas Paquetá and Endrick in training this Tuesday (23)?

The Brazil National Team held its final session in New Jersey, United States, before the match against Scotland in the World Cup. In training this Tuesday (23), Lucas Paquetá, a midfielder for Flamengo, got “annoyed” over the treatment given to Endrick.

As is traditional during Brazil National Team training sessions, the press is allowed access to the opening minutes of the players’ movement on the field. In that moment, some journalists at the venue said good morning to Endrick. Lucas Paquetá was next to the striker and, in a relaxed tone, said: “Is he the only one here?”. After that, the reporters also wished the same to the Flamengo academy product.

WHAT IS ENDRICK’S RELATIONSHIP LIKE WITH THE BRAZIL NATIONAL TEAM PLAYERS?

It is important to point out that this was nothing more than a joke. It is worth noting that, just as Paquetá said that about Endrick, the Lyon (FRA) striker himself also joked around with Vini Jr during Monday’s (22) training session.

On social media, Endrick posted a photo next to Vini Jr during training with the ‘Amarelinha’. In the caption, the striker used the phrase ‘Big Seven,’ which in Portuguese means ‘Grande Sete.’

That term was used by influencer Virgínia Fonseca when referring to Vini Jr back when they were dating. So the forward did not let it slide and said Endrick would get payback for the betrayal.

WHAT IS THE SITUATION OF LUCAS PAQUETÁ AND ENDRICK IN THE BRAZIL NATIONAL TEAM?

Lucas Paquetá is one of the key pieces in the midfield of the Brazil National Team in this World Cup. That is because, against both Morocco and Haiti, Carlo Ancelotti started the Flamengo academy product in the lineup.

Endrick, meanwhile, is seen as something of a ‘gem’ in the Amarelinha squad; however, he still has not had many opportunities in Ancelotti’s team. Against Morocco, the striker did not come on at all, while against Haiti he played a few minutes in the second half.

WHAT IS BRAZIL’S NEXT WORLD CUP MATCH?

The Brazil National Team’s next World Cup match will be against Scotland, in the third round of Group C of the World Cup. In short, the ball starts rolling at 7:00 PM (Brasília time) in Miami, United States.

Thus, Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will show the match details on YouTube, as well as on its website and social media. Finally, Rede Globo and SBT (free-to-air channels), SporTV (pay TV), NSports (streaming), and CazéTV (YouTube) will broadcast the match.
