Following the publication of a humorous film that depicts Endrick, a future star for Real Madrid, making the “only” successful pass during Brazil’s loss to Uruguay at the Copa America 2024, social networks are in a state of uproar.
Only one pass was completed by the young star player for Real Madrid during Brazil’s loss to Uruguay.
During the quarterfinal match between Brazil and Uruguay, Endrick, who will be joining Real Madrid from Palmeiras the following summer when he turns 18, played the complete 90 minutes of the contest. Following a penalty shootout, the Selecao was defeated by a score of 2-4.
Both Eder Militão, the centre defender, and Douglas Luiz, the midfielder, were unsuccessful in their attempts to score, while Endrick was not even given the opportunity to participate in the game. Nevertheless, the performance (or lack thereof) that Endrick displayed during the actual match was the one that truly astonished the crowd.
According to the statistics, he was only successful in completing one of his five passes that he attempted throughout the contest. It was Brazil’s kιck-off kιck that started the match, and even this single pass stemmed from that kιck.
A supporter of Barcelona posted a picture of this “unique” pass on X (which was before known as Twitter), along with a number of sobbing emojis and the statement, “I’m numb, this is the pass that This ‘brother’ did the whole match?”
According to the information provided by Sofascore, Endrick only had one shot on target, in addition to one successful pass overall. His statistics for Expected Goals (xG) are merely 0.03, respectively.
There were a total of 23 occasions that Endrick made contact with the ball throughout the contest. Within this, there were three tries to pass, with just one of them being successful.
The following comment was made by a different admirer on the video: “How could this happen?” Something else made fun of it, saying, “Pele is next!”
The third statement was made in a mocking manner, and it stated, “Worse than losing possession of the ball for ninety minutes.”
On Tuesday, Uruguay will meet Colombia in the semi-finals of the competition, having already eliminated Brazil. Argentine team led by Lionel Messi will compete against Canadian team in the other semifinal.
