The young Brazilian striker Endrick He admitted on Thursday that he felt “happy and sad at the same time”, after playing his last game with Palmeiras, before focusing on the Brazil team to play in the Copa América and then head to Real Madrid.
“Now it’s hard to speak, but I’m so happy, I cried there and I’ll try not to cry again to be calm,” said the attacker on the pitch of Allianz Parque in São Paulo, after drawing with San Lorenzo de Almagro (0-0) on the last day of the group stage of the Copa Libertadores.

“A new family is created. We know it is difficult,” but we will follow the orders of the coach (Dorival Júnior), he said. “This is a very young team, so we will joke, smile and score goals (…) and, God willing, we will win the Copa América.”
