On Disney, former Palmeiras man Endrick makes his World Cup case’ | OneFootball

Endrick is close to playing in his first World Cup. The few minutes in the win against Croatia showed Carlo Ancelotti that the 19-year-old can help Brazil.

Curiously, the match in which Endrick lived up to expectations took place in Orlando, where four years earlier Abel Ferreira suggested he take a vacation after leading Palmeiras to their first-ever Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior title.

Then 15 years old, Endrick was the standout player of the Copinha, and Palmeiras fans even called for him to be included in the Club World Cup squad the following month. His professional debut, however, came months later, when he helped the club win the Brasileirão.

One World Cup cycle later, Abel’s advice proved valuable, as did Ancelotti’s. The Italian manager suggested that Endrick leave Real Madrid in order to play, as he has been doing very well at Lyon.

At Disney, the forward showed he has what it takes to be among the 26 players called up in the final squad for May. This time, not to go on vacation.
