Endrick declares to Brazil after victory: "This is where I want to be"

The Brazilian team beat Egypt 2-1, this Saturday (6), in a friendly held in Cleveland, in the United States. Endrick, who scored the goal that secured the victory for Carlo Ancelotti's team, celebrated another goal with the green-yellow shirt.

After the match, the 19-year-old striker spoke about the emotion of defending Brazil, recalled the period in which he was out of the team and dedicated the goal to his wife and son who is on the way.

"It's a wonderful feeling. I think having this feeling is inexplicable. I really thank God for scoring another goal. God does extraordinary things in my life. I'm very happy because when I was injured I couldn't come to the national team, and it's the worst thing for a Brazilian player. God willing, I can never go through that feeling again, because this is where I want to be, this is where I want to show my football, always give my life for my nation. I'm very grateful for this goal. This goal I dedicate the goal to my wife and my son, who is in her belly", declared the player in an interview with GE TV.

This was Endrick's fourth goal for the Brazilian team in 17 games played. The last time he scored for Brazil was in 2024, in a friendly against Mexico.
