Young Brazilian forward Endric expressed his delight during Brazil’s 6-2 friendly win over Panama, stressing that his strong second-half display could force coach Carlo Ancelotti to reconsider his starting line-up ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
In the statements given to the mass media after the match at “Maracana” Stadium, Endrik said. “I’m very grateful and happy because my performance raises doubts for Carlito,” referring to the strong competition for key positions in the Brazil team.
The young forward was part of Ancelotti’s 10 changes between the two halves, contributing to the major transformation the Seleção saw in the second half.
Endrik formed an outstanding attacking trio alongside Ryan and Igor Thiago, followed by playmaker Lucas Paqueta.
Despite his setback, Indrik played an influential role in creating an attacking threat as his movement and passing helped set up numerous attacks that led to goals for Ryan, Igor Thiago and Paquette in the second half.
The Real Madrid striker, who was on loan at Olympique Lyonnais last season, confirmed his focus is on continuing to work and develop, adding:
The announcements come amid intense competition in Brazil’s national team to secure places in the starting squad that will compete at the 2026 World Cup.
