In Dorival Júnior’s debut as coach, Brazil left a good feeling by beating England at the legendary Wembley.
Coach Dorival Júnior’s debut in the Brazilian team began with a hopeful 1-0 victory against England, this Saturday in a friendly at Wembley, in London, thanks to a goal ten minutes from time by Endrick.

The young Endrick, just 17 years old, who had entered the game in the 71st minute and who will join Real Madrid at the end of the season from Palmeiras, scored shortly after (80), on a counterattack, after collecting a rebound from the goalkeeper Englishman, Jordan Pickford, after Vinicius’ shot.

Endrick, who had replaced Rodrygo, his future teammate at Real Madrid, scored his first goal in his third game for Brazil, after a play started by Andreas Pereira, who had also entered shortly before for Lucas Paquetá.

The goal did justice to the merits of Brazil, which created more dangerous chances, especially on counterattacks.

In this way, Dorival Junior, the 61-year-old former Sao Paulo coach, who took charge of the Canarinha in January, ends a streak of four games without a victory for Brazil.

The South American team also got off to a good start in the two matches scheduled in Europe, before playing on Tuesday in Madrid against Spain, which lost on Friday in London in another friendly against Colombia (1-0.

After falling in the final of the last Copa América, against Argentina, on Brazilian soil, and being eliminated by Croatia in the quarterfinals of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the auriverde team is trying to rise in the Dorival Junior era.

Brazil, which now has twelve wins, eleven draws and four losses with England, in 27 games, beat the European team after fourteen years and three games without doing so, when they won in 2009 in Doha in a friendly 1-0.
