Endrick chooses his favorite between Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, his answer surprises

The new Real Madrid player, Endrick, is little by little positioning himself in an important way as the possible new star in Brazil. After the injury of Neymar and Vinicius, Rodrygo and Endrick are in charge of leading Brazil in the closing of this FIFA International Break when they face Argentina at the Maracaná. Before the match, he surprises what the player says when asked about Portugal and Argentina.

“For me, Messi is a great player, but I'm more of a Cristiano Ronaldo fan.” Endrick said when asked about Messi and Cristiano at a press conference. Endrick debuted with Brazil in the first opportunity he had after being called up by Fernando Diniz for the double qualifying round that is being played. The young 17-year-old attacker took the field in the 80th minute, when his team was losing 2-1, and could not avoid defeat. He becomes the fourth youngest footballer to play for the Canarinha senior team at the age of 17 years and 118 days.

In the little more than 10 minutes that the Palmeiras forward, who will arrive in Madrid next July, was on the pitch, he accumulated five touches of the ball, completed four of the five attempted passes and lost one possession. He did not have time to finish against the goal and his interventions were seen outside the area, with the intention of moving the ball until he found a space that did not arrive.

Endrick surpasses Ronaldo's mark

Endrick has surpassed Ronaldo's debut mark by a difference of just a few days. However, he certainly won't have a happy memory of the game. Brazil took the lead but then Colombia showed themselves much superior until they managed to turn the score around. Now the young talent will have the opportunity to add more minutes at Maracaná against Argentina.
