Earlier in the day, Dorival JR unveiled the Brazil list which will notably challenge Argentina at the next international break. Neymar JR's return is the big novelty of this list in which we also find, among others, Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo Goes or Raphinha. On the other hand, no trace of Endrick. Already absent in November, the one who totals 13 appearances for 3 goals with La Canarinha was still left on the sidelines, and that is talking to Brazil …
Even if he is far from holder at Real Madrid, the Brazilians seem convinced that he has his place in selection. “It makes no sense for Dorival not to call the Real player. It doesn't matter whether Endrick is on the Ancelotti bench. What it shows when called on the ground should be enough. Dorival summons Neymar recently restored and always looking for a rhythm, but leaves aside the feeling of the last two years. Endrick plays more than one position, it can be useful in many ways. He is a versatile and technical young player. It's the future “launches journalist Milly Lacombe in the columns of the big media UOL ESPORTE. As a reminder, Dorival explained that he had not called the player because of his low playing time in Madrid, preferring the players in their club.
The Brazilian coach takes expensive
“The 18 -year -old has 19 appearances in 2025, with 335 minutes played and four goals. In other words, he scores a goal every 83 minutes. And all this in a team where the options are Vini Jr, Rodrygo and Mbappé. In short, these are good figures in the face of such galactic competition. But beyond that, Endrick is a young man who has obvious potential for a role where Brazilian football suffers. In the current list, João Pedro and Matheus Cunha are players who previously appeared more in the surface, but who are now playing more as a field of field. There is no one who has the occupation of spaces as a great characteristic. Endrick is the type of player that the coach should choose and try to develop in the Brazilian national team. It is he who should have the “stock player” label, with a guaranteed invitation, so that the coach can test where he will develop his best football “explains Danielo Lavieri in this same media.
“Leaving endrick out of the Brazilian team reveals a state of mind, a vision of the world and football. Basically, a coward vision. On the one hand, Neymar is invoked as a shield. On the other hand, an extremely talented young person is left out, even in the Real Madrid reserve, where he could not be in the place of Mbappé. It is deeply wrong and discouraging. Talent like him should not be treated like that ”wondered by journalist Juca Kfouri. “The coach could have/had to call Endrick. It is strong, fast and despite its small size, it is good in the air. And he also plays on the sides. Dorival is conservative and does not call those who do not play. In the case of Endrick, it is at the mercy of what Encelotti does at Real Madrid. It shouldn't be like that. A national team coach cannot depend on what the club coach does ”we read in the magazine Forum. And all that, not to mention the thousands of messages posted on social networks on the part of Brazilian fans, all on the side of Endrick. The ball is therefore in the camp of… Carlo Ancelotti.
