On July 7th at 9am, Brazil will face Uruguay in the quarter-finals of the Copa América. Ahead of the match, Brazil coach Dorival Jr. attended a press conference and said that Endrick will replace Vinicius Jr., who is suspended due to accumulated yellow cards, in the starting lineup.
Dorival Jr. said: “We have lost an important player (Vinicius Jr. suspension), but we have gained a player who is on the rise, looking for opportunities. Who knows, maybe this is Endrick’s moment.”
“Some people think Endrick is not a dedicated number nine, he is fixed in his football, he prefers the central position. He is a floating, mobile player. Honestly, in my previous team, I always had a center forward, but I have to respect his characteristics.”
Endrick has previously represented Brazil at the international level on nine occasions, but always as a substitute, this match will be his first start.
