Endrick is a kid who has been in the spotlight in Brazil since he was 11 and has high expectations at 17. I have not been closely following football for very long, and this is the first time I see this. Is that common? Did this media circus happen with Ronaldo, Neymar, Messi, CR7 and other young talents in football who went on to be great? I guess I’m just fearful that this much pressure on a kid might mean he doesn’t match expectations, so i’m looking for some success stories that came from situations similar to his haha.

      I stated he is underwhelming for Brazil, not his club career. There is no way you can excuse how poor he has been for Brazil when you consider he is the second best Brazilian in the world at worst.

      It is at the point that most Brazilian people have accepted that he isn’t even going to reach Neymar’s level for Brazil. The fact that the fear factor of Brazil isn’t even Brazil, it’s Neymar.
