Flamengo player ‘irked’ by treatment of Endrick before Brazil game

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

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

As is customary during Brazil National Team training sessions, the press is allowed access to the opening minutes of the players’ movement on the field. In that setting, some journalists at the venue said good morning to Endrick. Lucas Paquetá was standing next to the forward and, jokingly, said: “Is he the only one here?” After that, the professionals also wished the same to the Flamengo academy product.

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

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

On social media, Endrick posted a photo next to Vini Jr during activities with the ‘Seleção’. In the caption, the striker used the phrase ‘Big Seven’.

That term was used by influencer Virgínia Fonseca when referring to Vini Jr when they were dating. As a result, the forward did not let it slide and said the betrayal would be paid back.

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

Lucas Paquetá is one of the main 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 among the starters.

Endrick, meanwhile, appears as something of a ‘jewel’ in the Seleção squad, but he still has not had many opportunities in Ancelotti’s team. Against Morocco, the striker did not even come on, 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. In short, the ball starts rolling at 7 p.m. Brasília time, in Miami, United States.

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