Who will be the next Neymar? Brazil has no trouble bringing out a shovel of talents, and at the moment there are two who engulf the attention of all observers, in particular because of their precocity: Endrick (17) and Vitor Roque (18 years old). And that’s good, next season, the two will evolve within two sworn enemies: Real Madrid for the first, and FC Barcelona for the second. Enough to create a real rivalry from a distance between those who are called to be the standard bearers of the Canarinha for the next decade and more.
Only, these two future teammates in selection and rivals in club know very different fates. Endrick is thus a little tough on the side of Palmeiras, where he has already been a full member of the first team for a while. In recent weeks, the striker has experienced a slight brake in his progress, and has scored only one goal in the last two months.
Vitor Roque is on fire
Worse still, he lost his place in the team, having not appeared in any of his team’s last three games. Of Palmeiras’ last nine outings, he has only come into play twice. A terrible relegation for the one who was used to being established earlier in the season. For his part, Vitor Roque is having a fairly positive summer with Athletico Paranaense.
The 18-year-old striker has had a string of good performances lately, and scored again last night against Fluminense. He has three goals in four games, and continues to post good stats in the league, with 10 goals and 3 assists in 20 games. He is also the second top scorer in the Brazilian league. On the Barcelona side, we are already rubbing our hands. The people of Madrid, on the other hand, have reason to be a little more worried…
