Brazil saved by… a 17 year old kid. At the end of a lively match, the Seleçao beat England at Wembley this Saturday evening (0-1) in a friendly match. The prodigy Endrick, future Real Madrid player when he comes of age, saved his team at the end of the game (80th).

Less than three months before the Euro and the Copa America, this meeting between England and Brazil was salivating. From the start, this clash between the two football countries kept its promises, the English put pressure on the opposing camp. Even with a reshuffled eleven, the Brazilians did not let themselves be impressed and were responsive, to the point of obtaining the best chances, including a miss from Vinicius and a post from Paqueta. It is also the latter who led the Seleçao with his inspirations of genius. At the break, the score is 0-0, but the spectacle is there, only the goals are missing.

And for a long time, we thought there wouldn’t be one. In the second act, the crazy pace of the first period calmed down and gave way to the management and rotations of the selectors. Thanks to these changes, young players were able to make their first selections. Endrick, Mainoo, Savio, three stars of world football who are gradually revealing themselves, have made their debut.

In this little game, it was the youngest who did the best. Endrick, 17 years old and future Real Madrid player, gave Brazil a prestigious victory, scoring his very first national goal in one of the most beautiful stadiums in the world. At the end of a counterattack, Vinicius came up against Pickford and the crack took over his teammate’s attempt to finish in the empty goal (80th). It was a magical moment. Endrick has already made an impression with the Seleçao, and this is only the beginning.
