Brazil's disappointing exit from the 2024 Copa America has left their players reeling, but for Real Madrid forward Endrick Felipe, the focus has already shifted to his club career, according to Sportskeeda. The 17-year-old sensation, who will join Real Madrid in July, expressed his disappointment over Brazil's elimination but revealed that his attention is now on the Spanish capital.
"It's very difficult to talk about the match because unfortunately, we were eliminated. But now, my head is in Madrid," Endrick said in a statement.
Brazil's quarterfinal clash against Uruguay ended in a goalless draw, with the Selecao eventually losing 4-2 in the penalty shootout. Despite the setback, Endrick's thoughts have turned to his impending move to Real Madrid, where he will join a talented young squad.
Endrick's move to Real Madrid was announced nearly 18 months ago, but due to FIFA regulations, he must wait until his 18th birthday (July 21) to officially join the club. Once he arrives in Madrid, he will be eager to make a lasting impression and help Los Blancos achieve success in the upcoming season.
The talented forward will be joined by his Brazilian compatriots, Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo Goes, and Eder Militao, who were also part of the Copa America squad. Together, they will form a formidable attacking quartet, aiming to make a significant impact in La Liga and the Champions League.
As Endrick prepares to start his Real Madrid journey, he will be inspired by the legacy of Toni Kroos, who recently announced his retirement from football. The German midfielder, a Real Madrid legend, bid farewell to the sport in an emotional post, thanking everyone involved in his illustrious career.
With the Copa America disappointment behind him, Endrick Felipe is now focused on writing the next chapter of his career with Real Madrid.
