Enderic Felipe has been called up to the Brazil team for the World Cup qualifiers between Argentina and Colombia. The 17-year-old forward plays for Brazilian club Palmeiras; He is expected to join Real Madrid next year.
Brazil will play against Colombia on November 17 and Argentina on November 22 Bangladesh time. "He has the potential to be one of the best talents," Brazil coach Fernando Diniz said about Enderic, who scored three goals for Palmeiras in the last two matches. I don't know if it (talent) will eventually happen or not. But it is not a pressure. Getting called up to the team is a reward for him and a vision of what the future holds. He is currently having the best time, distinguishing himself by playing against the big teams in Brazil.
Enderik scored 11 goals in 47 matches in all competitions for Palmeiras this season. Last December, Real Madrid announced that Enderic will join the club when he turns 18 in July 2024. Several European clubs were interested in the young Brazilian forward. Even Ronaldo Nazario commented that he would have liked to see him in the Brazil team of the World Cup in Qatar last year.
A year later, Enderic's father and agent Douglas Ramos said that he was surprised to see his son's name in the national team, but to be honest, we thought he might be called to the Olympic team. My son's main focus is also on that. Hopefully, the inclusion in the national team will bear fruit. We know about his potential. This is not the last call, there are many ahead.
In addition to Andric, two forwards Pepe of FC Porto and Joao Pedro of Brighton have been called up to the Brazil national team. Tottenham's Richarlison and Wolverhampton's Matthews Cunha are out. Neymar, who has injured his left knee, is not in the squad for the match between Colombia and Argentina.
Brazil's November 17 match is at Colombia's ground, while Argentina's match is at the historic Maracana Stadium. Brazil is currently in third place out of ten teams with 7 points from 4 matches in the South American region (Conmable) World Cup qualifiers.
The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) also announced on the day of the announcement of the team yesterday, that Brazil will play an international friendly match against England on March 23, 2024 at Wembley in London.
