Pele to Endrick: Five teen talents that lit up Brazil

The five-times World Cup winners are renowned for their “jogo bonito” philosophy and reputation of churning out the world’s most talented players, the latest being 17-year-old starlet Endrick who scored against England on Saturday.The latest off the national production line of extravagantly talented attackers, Endrick made history at the home of football Wembley when he scored the winner for Brazil against England on Saturday in just his third international appearance.

He became Brazil’s youngest ever goalscorer at 16 years, eight months and 14 days and went on to net 77 times for his country — the second most in Selecao yellow. Brazil’s forward Neymar celebrates after he scored a penalty goal during the international football friendly match between South Korea and Brazil at Seoul World Cup Stadium in Seoul on June 2, 2022. The greatest goalscorer in the history of the Selecao, with 79 goals in 128 games, Neymar is likely coming to the end of his career with the national team but, despite not yet delivering a sixth World Cup, he has lived up to the hype since making his international bow aged 18.

But it was not to be and the fleet-footed centre-forward would go on to win just 27 caps, his last coming in 2013 at only 24 years of age.Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
