Brazil fans are calling for their manager Dorival Junior to make a major decision after Endrick netted against England.

On Saturday wonderkid Endrick, who will join Real Madrid from Palmeiras this summer for £62million, tapped in his first-ever international goal with 10 minutes remaining of Brazil and England’s tepid friendly.

The game saw an England side, who were missing 12 first-team regulars, come up against an outfit with a new manager and on their worst run of results in 22 years.

But Endrick’s goal saw the 17-year-old become the youngest player to score a senior international goal at Wembley, while it also made him Brazil's youngest goalscorer since Ronaldo.

And, as per the Mail, the overwhelming reaction in Brazil was that the victory at Wembley offered clear evidence of the best direction towards Copa America glory this summer.

Endrick’s finish also pointed to what the future may look like without Neymar, who is now 32 and playing his football in Saudi Arabia.

The consensus in Brazil is allegedly that Endrick must start on Tuesday in Spain, alongside his soon-to-be Real Madrid teammates Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior.

There were also plaudits for the likes of Lucas Paqueta, Bruno Guimaraes and Joao Gomes, who all play their football in the Premier League.

“I confess I didn't know,” Endrick told Mail Sport about claiming his Wembley record. “I was so focused on preparation I couldn't research anything about the history of the stadium. I knew I was going to enter a temple of football and that was enough.

“Bobby Charlton is an idol here. Playing in the stadium where Bobby played, scoring a goal on the date Ronaldo made his debut, it is a landmark date.”

Moreover, on becoming the youngest Brazilian scorer since Ronaldo, Endrick added: “I've already talked to Ronaldo and gained experiences from him, I am happy, I hope to help my teammates, the national team, and that we go in search of victories.”
