The Endrick’s bad streak with Palmeiras continues and seems to have no end. The 17-year-old Brazilian, who will play for Real Madrid next season, has not started since his team’s elimination against Sao Paulo in the quarterfinals of the Brazil Cup on July 13.
But the situation with the young star is more serious than one might think. His coach Abel Ferreira has only given him 18 minutes in the last three games. He came out in the 72nd minute of the match between Palmeiras and Internacional de Portoalegre looking for the goal that would give them victory. However, the team’s poor performance prevented him from participating and having clear opportunities. Since then he has not played in the last two games, two victories against Fortaleza 3-1 and 1-4 against América Mineiro. In addition, Ferreira has prioritized giving opportunities to other young players who may have a promising future and who compete with Endrick, such as Luis Guilerme or the Argentine ‘Flaco’ López.
This week Palmeiras’ calendar is compressed due to the return of the Copa Libertadores. The ‘Verdao’ faces Atlético Mineiro in the round of 16 and next Saturday they will face a key game in the Brasileirao receiving Fluminense or what is the same, third against second. Last chance to get on the title train for those from Sao Paulo and one more chance for Endrick to vindicate himself, but this time with greater pressure as competition increases in his position and with the team risking the season.
