Abel denounces Endrick’s tears, defends Palmeiras jewel and says: ‘I should have hugged him’

The Verdão coach spoke about the youngster’s reaction after being substituted in the match against Red Bull Bragantino

Palmeiras defeated Red Bull Bragantino 2-0 on Wednesday night (22), at the Allianz Parque, for the tenth round of the Paulistao 2023. After being replaced, Endrick, who has yet to score a goal in 2023, wept on the bench he looks quite frustrated. In a press conference after the match, coach Abel Ferreira praised the player and said that everything will happen at the right time.

– He was a kid who scored crucial goals at the right moments last year when he came up against Atletico Madrid at half-time. So what I ask is that you don’t lose the smile on your face, that’s all I ask of you. And everything in God’s time, just need to be calm. Obviously it’s a tremendous pressure that ‘I have to score five or six goals’ and for him to try to deal with it on his own. He will happen at the right moment, he will score the goal at the right moment, like he did last year in all the decisive matches.

Despite having an effective involvement in preparing Verdão’s moves, especially in the first phase, the 16-year-old was very disappointed with his performance, as he failed to break his year’s goalscoring fast.

The manager also commented on Endrick’s crying moment when he was replaced by Giovani.

– I only saw it after they told me. I’m not his father, but I am his coach, I would hug him and tell him to continue training as he is training because he has an absolutely extraordinary career ahead of him. You have to be calm and keep laughing. And remembering the magic that was when you went to Disney and you brought all that joy into his heart. Then it all comes out naturally, that’s all.

With the victory against Red Bull Bragantino, Alviverde reached 24 points and regained the leadership of group D of the Paulista Championship, remaining with the best campaign of the competition. The next match is on Sunday (26th) against Ferroviária, at 18:30, also at the Allianz Parque.
