'I started learning about Bobby Charlton's history. I like learning about the history of the players that I don't know very well' Real Madrid youngster Endrick explains his fascination with the Manchester United legend

"A guy who is an idol here is also Bobby Charlton, a 17-year-old Endrick told reporters after he scored his first-ever international goal for Brazil. It came against England at Wembley Stadium just over two years ago, with the youngster's rebound shot the only thing separating the two sides on the night."

"I started learning about Charlton's history because he was a striker, but also played as a midfielder and defended very well too. I liked his story and used him a lot in the game because he has an amazing shot."

"Endrick's comment spoke to the global notoriety of a figure like Charlton, but also to Endrick's hunger to learn about the game he's trying to carve his own name into."

Endrick, a 17-year-old Brazilian footballer, scored his first international goal against England at Wembley Stadium. He expressed admiration for Bobby Charlton, highlighting the significance of playing in the same stadium where Charlton once played. Endrick's interest in Charlton's history was sparked by playing EA Sports FC, where he learned about Charlton's achievements and impact. He noted the importance of understanding the game's history and expressed regret at never having met Charlton, who passed away in 2023.
