The Brazilian national team begins a new era with hopes of rediscovering its glory days. Dorival Júnior will make his debut against England on Saturday (23), in a FIFA window that could bring a new offensive trio.
With the call-up of Endrick, there’s speculation that the Palmeiras sensation could join Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior up front. According to Itatiaia Esporte, the 17-year-old is leading the race to start as striker since Richarlison is returning from an injury.

The mere idea of seeing these three players together creates great expectations, not only for the Brazilian fans who want to see a generational change that brings success but also for Real Madrid. Endrick will join Los Blancos in July, so it will be a matter of time before he shares the pitch with Vinicius and Rodrygo.

If he arrives in the Spanish capital with playing time next to them under his belt, it could enhance his adaptation to Carlo Ancelotti’s plans. Additionally, there is excitement in Madrid to see the young forward in action soon, as Brazil will visit Spain at the Santiago Bernabéu on Tuesday, March 26. But first, there will be the clash against England, so the new trio may make their debut before that.
Endrick, excited to visit Wembley and the Bernabéu
“I am a young boy, I play a lot of video games. I got to know Wembley and the Bernabéu through the game, and I saw how majestic it is, how big it is, how many people it can accommodate. Knowing that I am going to play in both venues and being able to do it with the national team is very important; it will be exciting. I hope it can be wonderful and that we can come out victorious,” said Endrick.
