It is always a sorrowful moment when a player exits the pitch due to injury, as it affects not only them but also everyone present on the field.
Playing against the best is our goal, and in my opinion, Walker stands out as the most impressive defender I've ever encountered. Our duels are always intense and highly competitive.
We have a mutual respect for each other and both fiercely defend our own perspective.
Endrick, who is only 17 years and 246 days old, has set a new record as the youngest male player to score an international goal at Wembley. Vinicius Jr offered his advice to him on this impressive achievement.
The winger from Real Madrid stated that he has gained significant development by attentively listening to the older players.
It is my wish that Endrick, a remarkable player and individual, remains receptive to all of our suggestions. Likewise, we must also heed his words given his wealth of experience. Ultimately, I hope he continues to progress so as to be fully equipped in aiding Real Madrid on the field.
May his confidence constantly increase, enabling him to aid the national team and enhance his club- Palmeiras while continuing to progress.
With a bright career ahead of him, let us all cheer for the 17-year-old.
