Before the World Cup started, Danilo held nothing back. While in Brazil’s training camp, he spoke about Endrick as if he already knew what was coming: “In training he scores goals that leave me amazed. This kid has something special, he almost knocked out our goalkeeper with a shot”.
The phrase went viral among the fans, who began to imagine Endrick tearing defenses apart in the tournament. But the dream debut never fully arrived: few minutes, little continuity, and a clear chance wasted right in the match against Norway, the one that saw Brazil eliminated.
Today Danilo’s words sound different. Unnecessary pressure on an 18-year-old kid or a promise that can still be fulfilled? 🇧🇷⚽
