The regular emergence of talent in Brazilian football is nothing new. And even more so when we go to the biggest clubs.
Still, there are some players who deserve special attention. And in the formation of Palmeiras, a club that has the Portuguese Abel as coach, there is a boy who is starting to stand out in an intense way.
And with a nickname from football tradition in Portugal. We’re talking about Eduardo Conceição, number 10, just 16 years old, who shone for Verdão’s under-20 team, with four goals and three assists in the 9-0 rout of Batalhão, in Copinha.
After such a demonstration, the club’s directors wasted no time and the next day the young pearl signed a professional contract until December 2029.
Having been part of the Palmeiras team since he was 9 years old, when asked to describe himself, the player made it clear what football means to him: fun for him and for those who watch him play.
«I’m a kid who goes on the field to have fun, who tries to make the fans happy with dribbles and goals. I enter the field to be happy, without any pressure because for me it is an amusement park”, he declared.
And it’s easy to see that when you see his performance in the last game.
Palmeiras simply scored 9×0 against Batalhão for the @Copinha.
And the highlight was Eduardo Conceição, who found the net 4 times and provided 3 assists.
