The Brazilian player will be hoping to be selected for Brazil’s World Cup squad.
Since joining Olympique de Lyon, Brazilian youth Endrick has been living the life of his dreams, becoming one of the team’s top players. Following his arrival at the club, the Brazilian has instantly announced himself in France with a hat-trick.
The forward was deprived of playing time at Real Madrid, and joining Lyon was seen as the most idealistic decision. It has so far paid off, and the player is enjoying an excellent start to his Lyon career.
After departing Real Madrid in pursuit of regular time on the pitch, Endrick has made an immediate impression in Ligue 1. He has scored four goals and given one assist in only three matches, establishing himself as Lyon’s new offensive standard.
Endrick says he hopes to face Cristiano Ronaldo in the 2026 World Cup
Endrick, who is determined to play at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, stated to L’Équipe that Cristiano Ronaldo is his greatest motivation and that he intends to compete against him there:
“Cristiano Ronaldo is my number 1 idol. What I admire most is that at 40 years old, he remains the one who works harder than everyone else Playing against him in the World Cup would be wonderful.
“I hope it happens and that we win it (smiles).”
Considering his start at Lyon, if he continues his spectacular form, then we can expect him to be selected in the Brazil squad to play in the 2026 World Cup.
The Selecao will be among the favourites to win the competition for the first time since 2002. Endrick is expected to play an important role in guiding the South American giants to the trophy.
How many goals has Endrick scored for Lyon?
He has four goals.
When was the last time Brazil won the World Cup?
