Carlo Ancelotti, the manager of Brazil, has called on supporters and the press to exercise patience with Endrick, emphasizing that the young forward will be significant for the Seleção during the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Softfootball reports that Endrick, who is included in Brazil’s World Cup roster, was not a starter in the initial 1–1 draw against Morocco, raising inquiries about his place in the lineup. Ancelotti shared his thoughts with the media regarding the matter.
Ancelotti provided the following remarks:
I see all the comments, it was the first game, there’s a lot of competition, it’s quite normal.
Endrick didn’t start… but there are 15 other players that didn’t start either.
We must be patient and use him at the right time. He’s gonna be important.
Ancelotti stressed that Endrick is an integral part of Brazil’s strategy and that his participation is expected to grow as the tournament unfolds.
Brazil is now looking ahead to their upcoming Group C match against Haiti, who faced a 0–1 defeat against Scotland in their first match, as Neymar is still expected to be sidelined while he continues recovering from his injury.
