Endrick: “I’m going to sleep like a baby” given possible ownership

Endrick assures that he will sleep peacefully in the face of possible ownership with Brazil.

Endrick, ready for the challenge

Brazilian striker Endrick affirmed that he is prepared to start on Sunday against Norway, in the round of 16 of the World Cup. However, he assured that he calmly accepts the decision of coach Carlo Ancelotti, who has not yet defined who will replace the injured Lucas Paquetá.

“I think I’m going to sleep like a baby. I’m going to be very calm because, before going to sleep, the most important thing for me is to say my prayer and trust that things will happen at the right time,” he declared at a press conference from New Jersey.

Endrick also highlighted the role of his faith and his environment: “I didn’t come here to experience something extraordinary, I came to show who Endrick is and who is by my side: my family and God.”

The young attacker appears confident and ready to assume a leading role if Ancelotti gives him the opportunity. His faith and family support are his anchor at this key moment of the tournament.
