The ‘meninos’ duel lit up the Bernabéu on a freezing night

Historically, Brazil has always been a team with no complexes when it comes to giving opportunities to its prodigy children. From Pelé to Ronaldo, from Robinho to Neymar, from Vinicius to Endrick. Talents that dazzled before reaching the age of majority. ‘Os meninos’ have been a hallmark of the yellow-green. Spain has been on that path for years with the premature releases of Pedri, Gavi, Lamine and last Friday Pau Cubarsí. At the Bernabéu there was a duel of ‘boys’ with Vinicius (23 years old), Rodrygo (22) and Endrick (17) on the Rio side, and Lamine Yamal (16) and Nico Williams (21) as stars of the Spain of From the source.

Lamine lifted the Bernabéu

The Blaugrana delivered his letter of introduction after ten minutes after weaving around two defenders with the ball sewn to his foot and creating a lukewarm penalty that the Portuguese Antonio Nobre bought. The slalom of The minewith that lying waist that sprinkles the set with feints and feints until unleashing the dribble at the perfect moment, rewarded the impetus of a Spain aggressive in the pressure that isolated Vinicius. Not so for a more committed Rodrygo. Rodri put Spain ahead with the penalty.

Nico emulated Lamine with another diagonal in which he roped two defenders he left behind. Athletic’s is less harmonious than Yamal, more explicit. Nico is heavy metal and Lamine is classical music. After half an hour the culé took over, taking out the violin again, leaving two rivals behind before reaching the area. Spain played the samba and warmed up the stands on a cold night against a Brazil in which the hardworking Rodrygo made the gross mistake of Unai Simón profitable, to cut the income that Dani Olmo had previously stretched in another notable move.

Endrick scored on his first ball

In the second half he joined the ‘meninos’ duel Endrickthe brand new Madrid signing, who in the first ball he touched on the grass of the stadium where he will play from July, sent the ball into the net. Brazil grew with the goal and Rodrygo, a great match for him, sent a shot to the post. The Brazilian talents prevailed over the Spanish, who were diluted after their great start. Vinicius left the Bernabéu amid applause in the 70th minute. The stands stood up to say goodbye to the Real Madrid player, who did not crown the footballing documentary that Netfix has recorded of him these days in Madrid.

The duel lost its effervescence while the stands chanted Joselu’s name, in the face of Morata’s erratic performance, more willful than successful. Only a spark could unclog the scoreboard and in reality what came was a short circuit, that of Endrick, who attacked Cucurella and the incident ended with a melee in which Vinicius pushed Laporte. From that moment on, the benches were a hot zone. The last ‘menino’, Pau Cubarsí, joined the meeting, in the 80th minute, while Rodrygo, very tired, left applauded. It looked like a tie when Lamine gave a pass into space in the area to Carvajal, who got ahead of the defender and fell in the area. Penalty, also controversial, that Rodri scored again in the 86th minute. But in stoppage time Carvajal himself committed another in the Spanish area that Paquetá converted. Tie in a duel of ‘meninos’ in which Lamine was splendid and received the ovation of the night, Endrick confirmed his fame, and Nico and Rodrygo were remarkable. Worse were the benches that ended up fighting with Vinciius in the middle. He doesn’t learn!
