Speaking to the media, the young forward made his stance clear:
Ancelotti won’t do what’s best for Endrick, he won’t do what’s best for the fans… …he’ll do what’s best for the team.
Softfootball understands Endrick made his first appearance of the tournament in Brazil’s 3–0 win over Haiti, coming off the bench in the 63rd minute.
