Copa partners, Weverton recalls Endrick bet at Palmeiras: ‘Had to stop’ | OneFootball

Although there are no players from the current squad among those called up by the Brazil National Team for the World Cup, Palmeiras has three former club players on the list, including two Academy products: Weverton, Danilo, and Endrick.

Former Palmeiras goalkeeper recalls bet with Endrick and partnership with Danilo

Now at Grêmio, the former Verdão goalkeeper recalled, in an interview with Fifa.com, the bet he made with Endrick, as well as his partnership and achievements with Danilo.

– They are boys I saw grow up at Palmeiras, we won titles together, and we have a funny story: every time Endrick scored, I gave him a pair of sneakers, and Danilo would go with him to the mall to choose them. When I saw he was scoring a lot of goals, I had to stop the bet (laughs). I was already with Danilo in the National Team, and later with Endrick as well. It will be nice now to be with both of them together. – he said

Departure from Verdão

Weverton agreed to leave Palmeiras at the start of the season after eight years at the club. The goalkeeper highlighted how difficult the decision was for his career.

– It really was not an easy decision, because of all the history I have with Palmeiras, but in life we have to be courageous. Sometimes we have to make difficult decisions, but they will bring us rewards, and that is what I did. I am very grateful to Palmeiras, to the Palmeiras fans, for everything I experienced there. It was a decision based on prayer, asking God if that was what He wanted for my life. I am sure it was an important decision for my career. – he said
