Endrick scores final goal against England and 'fights' Bellingham
A 17-year-old top-rated Brazilian player, Endrick, scored a historic goal and was slapped in the face. However, he kept smiling.
Endrick scored the winning goal in the 35th minute of the second half in an A-match warm-up match against England at Wembley Stadium in London, England on the 24th, leading Brazil to a 1-0 victory.
Endrick, who started the game on the bench, replaced Hodrigo in the 29th minute of the second half when the score was tied 0-0. Endrick scored a counterattack. Endrick, who rushed side by side during Vinicius Junior's solo dribble, finished with his right foot when Vinicius' ball blocked by the goalkeeper flowed out.
Endrick, who was born in 2006, scored an A-match goal after 17 years, 8 months, and 2 days. This is the youngest A-match goal in Brazilian soccer history after Ronaldo (17 years, 7 months, and 12 days) in 1994. Endrick, who made his debut against Colombia in November 2023, scored his debut goal after his third A-match game.
Endrick also became the youngest scorer in the history of England's iconic Wembley Stadium. "Bobby Charlton was an idol in this stadium. I played where Charlton played," Endrick said after the match. "These are very important memories for me."
After the game, however, Endrick, who was enjoying the joy of winning, was suddenly slapped on the left side. The slap on the face was Jude Bellingham (21, Real Madrid), who emerged as England's ace player.
According to a video released by Fabrizio Romano, Bellingham hit Endrick from the left cheek with his right hand. When he saw Bellingham, but was suddenly raided, Endrick looked surprised. However, he smiled brightly and Bellingham also patted his face and extended his hand to express joy.
Actually, they are future teammates who will play in the same uniform starting next season. Endrick is currently playing for Palmeiras, Brazil, but already signed a contract with Real Madrid last year when he was 16. The transfer fee is 47 million euros.
Endrick will not be able to join Real until July due to FIFA regulations prohibiting transfer of players under the age of 18. Real moved quickly to preempt Endrick.
I am proud of Bellingham, but this is also the reason why he expressed his "manly man" welcome to see Endrick who defeated his country. Of course, he didn't hit him hard, but stroked him. They have met before each other. When Endrick visited Real Madrid last year, he met. Bellingham also talked with his Real teammates Vinicius and Rodrigo on their shoulders.
Fans showed much interest in Endrick on the day. As it was his debut match in Europe, they were curious about his performance. Endrick displayed relaxed mood by exchanging words with the atmosphere before joining the team. He also made a strong first impression when scoring the final goal.
Meanwhile, England faced off against Brazil on the day with Harry Kane (31, Bayern Munich) out due to ankle injury. Ace Bellingham was replaced in the 22nd minute of the second half and stepped down to the bench, leaving regret. After all, England lost 1-2 to France in the quarterfinal match of the Qatar World Cup in December 2022, forcing them to stop having no loss in 10 consecutive A matches (eight wins and two draws).
England will play Belgium at home at the same venue on the 27th, and Brazil will also play in Spain on the same day. 안전 토토사이트
