Brazil national team prodigy Endrick Felipe admitted that he immediately focused on Real Madrid to move on from the 2024 Copa America.
The Brazilian national team had to bury their dreams of winning the 2024 Copa America.
The Brazilian national team's intentions had to stop midway after Uruguay sent them home early.
Playing at Allegian Stadium, Sunday (7/7/2024) morning IST, Selecao lost through a penalty shootout.
In fact, in the quarter-finals, Uruguay had to lose one player after Nahitan Nandez was sent off in the 74th minute.
However, the 0-0 score remained until the match ended in normal time and extra time.
As the match went to a penalty shootout, Brazil had to admit Uruguay's superiority.
Marcelo Bielsa's men took a 4-2 lead over Brazil in the penalty shootout.
With Brazil's journey at the 2024 Copa America over , their players' hopes of ending their title drought since 2019 have been dashed.
In fact, from the match against La Celeste, Selecao wonderkid, Endrick Felipe , received attention.
Endrick Felipe was trusted to appear from the start by Dorival Junior due to the absence of Vinicius Junior.
Wearing the legendary number 9 jersey, Endrick still couldn't prevent Brazil from losing.
He had to swallow the bitter pill of failing to make Brazil talk a lot at the 2024 Copa America .
However, the struggle in his new chapter as a footballer has only just begun.
This summer, Endrick will officially become a Real Madrid player .
Although the transfer agreement for the former Palmeiras player was made in December 2022, Endrick will only be able to join El Real for more than 18 months after that.
Sure enough, on July 21, Endrick will turn 18 years old.
He admitted that the elimination of the Brazilian National Team was disappointing.
However, what Endrick is thinking about right now is heading to Real Madrid.
"Now I'm thinking about Real Madrid," Endrick said, as quoted by footem.site from Mundo Deportivo.
"It's very difficult to talk about the game because we were knocked out."
"But now, what's in my head is Real Madrid," he added.
Endrick will later inherit the sacred number during his service at the Santiago Bernabeu.
He will wear the number 9 jersey when the 2024-2025 season officially starts.
Endrick is also expected to join Carlo Ancelotti's first-team squad in mid-July 2024.
Real Madrid itself has been scheduled to carry out several pre-season schedules in the United States since the end of July.
Madrid's first opponent will be AC Milan at Soldier Field Stadium, Chicago, on July 31, 2024.
After that they will play El Clasico at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey, Saturday (3/8/2024).
