With less than a month before Brazil's World Cup squad is announced, 19-year-old Endrick has spoken about his hopes of making the team, his recent struggles at Real Madrid, and the support he has received from teammate Jude Bellingham.
Endrick, who has scored 3 goals in 14 appearances for Real Madrid this season, admitted to a 'night of doubt' after a difficult period. He credited Bellingham for helping him adapt to life in Spain, saying the English midfielder has been 'like a brother' to him.
The striker also revealed he recently became a father, which he said has given him a new perspective on life and football. 'Football isn't a nice place sometimes, but my son gives me strength,' he said.
Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti is expected to announce his squad for the 2026 World Cup in late May. Endrick has 5 caps for Brazil, scoring 2 goals.
