Endrick spoke candidly. During a training camp with Brazil’s national team, he spoke with GE TV about the pressure of professional football and compared his routine with that of people who get up at five in the morning to work. “It’s not difficult to be a footballer; what’s difficult is getting up at five in the morning”, he said, explaining that he gets to play what he loves most.

He also expressed gratitude for what the sport offers him and noted that football can change a family’s life. “We are under enormous pressure, but we must be grateful for what football gives us. Of course, there are moments of pressure, but football gives us wonderful things, things that can change our families’ lives”.

He also spoke about Brazil’s defeat to Norway at the 2026 World Cup, which he described as a wound that remains open 💔
