Endrick is widely regarded as one of Brazil’s most promising young talents and is expected to play a significant role for the national team in the coming years. However, Petit also expressed concerns about the current direction of the Brazilian side.
"He can also impress at the World Cup, but Brazil is not the same team they were, they don't play Brazilian football anymore," he explained. "I watched a game against France in America three weeks ago, and we beat them again."
"I looked at the team, of course, some players were missing, but I'm thinking, ‘Wow, the Brazilian team has changed so much. I remember the likes of so many great, great names, great players in that national team. Endrick, he has something about him. He can do something during the World Cup, there is a place for him in their XI."
