The Brazilian team will face Spain this Tuesday, at 5:30 pm (Brasília time), in a friendly at the Santiago Bernabéu. The match is expected to mark Endrick’s debut at the stadium of his future team, Real Madrid, and could be the first time that the 17-year-old, Rodrygo and Vinicius Júnior will play together.
Endrick has already been sold to the merengue club by Palmeiras and will join the other two Brazilian strikers in the Spanish team at the start of the next European season, in July this year, when he turns 18.
Although the three played in Brazil’s 1-0 victory over England at Wembley last Saturday, they were not on the field together. When Endrick came on in the 26th minute of the second half, Rodrygo left the game.
In the Palmeiras youngster’s debut with the Seleção, in November last year, in the 2-1 defeat to Colombia, the trio also played. However, again at different times. Vinicius Júnior had to be replaced in the first half due to an injury, and Endrick only came on in the final stage.
Dorival already announced at this Monday’s press conference that Endrick will not start against Spain, but assured that he will have his first minutes at the Santiago Bernabéu.
“Endrick will not be a starter, but he will bring joy to all Real Madrid fans. He has a bright future ahead of him. His fans will have him for many minutes on the field. You can wait,” he said.
