The Brazilian spoke with AS while he put the finishing touches to his final days with Palmeiras before facing two great challenges: the Copa América and his move to Europe.
Endrick Felipe Moreira de Sousa has established himself as one of Brazil’s most promising young talents. Already considered elite in his home country, the boy born 21 July 2006, in Taguatinga, Brazil, spoke with us at AS as he prepares for his final two matches with Palmeiras. Following his participation in the Copa América this summer, and importantly his 18th birthday, he will officially join Real Madrid this summer.
At just 17 years old, Endrick has already become an international star. Each week, his influence on social media grows, his list of sponsors expands, and he now boasts over 14 million followers. How does he manage to stay focused on his development and keep his feet on the ground? We asked him.
“Everything is very calm for me because my routine has been simple for a long time,” Endrick says. “I train with my club, eat well, do individual recovery and injury prevention work... and I usually stay at home, where I play video games or spend time with my brother. I don’t have much time to post anything on social media, let alone read everything I receive.”
Endrick has already visited the Santiago Bernabéu twice: the first time as an honorary guest last Christmas, and the second as a player in a friendly match against racism. How did he feel about his future home?
“Knowing the greatest club in the world is a dream for anyone who loves football. Not just for players. For me, it was a dream come true.”
