Agreed. Has happen so many times. Overhyped in brasil come to europe and are nowhere near the levels you think they would be. So many of them that some have been completely forgotten.He looks good, but how many 16 yo wonderkids look good at that age and then fail to impress later on in their careers?
If Vinicius and Rodrygo were the norm, every club would sign 16 yo players all the time and we all know that's not the case.
Tbf, the bar for brasilian players is so very high. If your a attacking fullback then its Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Dani Alves comparision level of hype. If your a forward then its ronaldinho, ronaldo, neymar comparision levels. These are some of the greatest brasilian players but also all time greats.
Has endrick been called a 'generational talent'? Hate that phase from america sports.
The best recent comparision for endrick would be odengaard as a 16 year old. Dad, agent and son did a tour around europe while teams fell over themselves for this 'once in a generation' talent. Stupidly picked Madrid as the club to go to. Ok, hes doing well at arsenal and time will tell if he can become a debryune level talent. But hype sometimes is just that.
