Brazilian talent Indrik is following in the footsteps of Pele and Neymar

Sa Paulo – Young striker Andric now finds himself being compared to Neymar and the legendary Pele, but the 17-year-old, who is regarded as the new jewel of Brazilian football, prefers to keep his feet on the ground and keep calm, according to the Palmeiras striker. He won the league title for the second season in a row, joining Real Madrid in the summer of 2024 as part of a deal worth around €60m without bonuses. Pele’s base. He is the king of football.

He confirmed in press reports, “I want to be Indrik.” “I want to show them who Intric is.” Skilled on the ball, fast, technical and creative… Endric has been earning accolades since his professional debut at the age of 16.

Considered a new footballing talent, many believe that Entric can be the savior for Orivarde’s team, which has suffered from a slump in results recently, having finished sixth in the combined qualifying group. For the 2026 World Cup, it lost to its arch-rivals at home after suffering three successive defeats. Historic Argentina 0 – 1 last month.

Interim coach Fernando Diniz wants young Andrej to wear the number 9 shirt he wore with Palmeiras, alongside big stars like Ronaldo and Tostavo, and Brazilian fans want him to wear it.

On the other hand, some doubts have been raised about Indrik’s future, “but will he live up to the faith that Real Madrid put in him when he joined?”

Andrik managed to play under pressure. After grabbing the spotlight in his early days with Palmeiras in 2022, when he scored three goals to help his side win the league title, he played his first full season the following year.

In contrast to his start, Endric went through a difficult period at the start of the new season. He scored just four goals in his first 19 matches.

I guess,” he said before departing for the Spanish capital, Madrid.

This “little key” he needs to change is to stop reading what people write about him on social media and instead surround himself with his family and partner. In addition to training sessions and learning English and Spanish, he also increased his physical preparation with the aim of passing as well as possible.

These efforts paid off in the second half of the season as Palmeiras overtook former leaders Potafogo to retain their title in a thrilling final race. In that period, Endric has scored six goals in the last ten matches, including two goals in a 4-3 win over Potafogo and the first goal for Palmeiras in last Wednesday’s 1-1 draw at Cruzeiro, which allowed them to retain the title.
