Ronaldo Confident Endrick Will Shine Despite World Cup Bench Role
Brazil legend Ronaldo has urged fans to stay patient with teenage striker Endrick after he was left on the bench in Brazil’s opening 1-1 draw with Morocco at the 2026 World Cup. Ronaldo backed coach Carlo Ancelotti’s decision, explaining that Bruno Guimarães’s injury forced an early tactical change that prevented Endrick from coming on. “I am sure he will get his opportunity,” Ronaldo said on a postmatch programme. “Right now he’s the third option behind Igor Thiago and Matheus Cunha, but he’s ready.” The two-time World Cup winner made it clear he has full faith in Endrick’s ability, even as the teenager competes with more experienced forwards.
