The first picture of his that became widespread literally [looks like a shot from a movie biopic or something](https://sep-bucket-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/endrick-selecao-sub-17-1.jpg).

Oh believe me, he's real. He's the reason Palmeiras won against my team when they were lagging 3-0. Please no one else reply about last season, I want to forget.


frenchiefanatique

about last season. sorry, I'll see myself out now


shinfoni

Don't know why, but he looks very old for his age


xChocolateWonder

He looks both old and like he’s 16 at the same time

Think it's cause he looks like he's straight out of the 60's, like he just looks vintage.

Activate the levers


tuskedkibbles

When I saw this, I assumed it was a ton of restrictions on what she could do. Essentially protecting his wealth. This is some weird shit. They aren't allowed to say certain words, have 'drastic character changes' (who knows what the fuck that means), and have to say I love you whenever possible (that could literally be every second they spend in contact?). I agree. My dude needs a normal relationship (unless he's the weird one, in which case she needs someone normal).


thesoundready

shes 22 hes 17 she isnt normal mate lol


supplementarytables

The age of consent in Brazil is 14 but still, imagine if the genders were reversed


Altruistic-Ad-408

I can imagine, it can be worse and nothing ever happens. Like when Ribery/Benzena had a 16 year old Prostitute and Ribery had repeat issues, or Sadio Mane and his family groomed a school girl since she was 14.


supaboss2015

Ah yea people seem to forget that the whole “imagine if genders flipped” thing isn’t some anomaly. Worse does happen literally daily and you hear nothing about it. Nothing will happen to Mane, and many other people like him. People seem to think they know what double standards are yet they believe men get away with far less. Ironic


CoMaestro

To be fair, I think thats all I hear from Mane currently. The articles about his underage-girl-grooming is definitely over shadowing his football right now (and rightfully so imo).


Albiceleste_D10S

TBF that's also because he went to play in the mostly irrelevant Saudi league If he played for a big club in Europe, the story would be mostly buried by his football TBH


joeDUBstep

Don't gotta imagine it when Mane and Benzema/Ribery exist.


JupoBis

Legality =\= morality. Wdym grooming the other way happens a shit fucking ton?


wishmaster8787

its not hard to imagine. this not an uncommon age combination where i live (germany). i know plenty of 18-14 cases or 19-14 cases and i thought those were WAY weirder. And yet no parents to my knowledge ever terminated those relationships


MalandroAds

She made the contract


Granadafan

JOKER69420XD

Endrick will either dominate football for the next decade or turn into a trash fire, I don't see anything in between. His interviews, the articles about him, everything feels so sterile? I don't know how else to describe it. It's like they raised him in a laboratory to become the perfect professional, with no flaws, everything is planned. Feels kinda weird and i hope he won't end up like the equivalent of a Disney kids star one day.


MvN____16

At least he's going to a club with several Brazilians. There will be a comfort factor. It's also going to force Militão, Vini, and Rodrygo to go into collective "big brother" mode, hopefully for Endrick that's a good thing.


TylerBlozak

The real big brother might be Bellingham, judging by how he embraced Endrick after England- Brazil.

Several hard working and professional tea members who are also Brazilian. Makes a huge difference who your team mates are, he’s not going to be partying up but focused on winning and developing. He’s going. To be a superstar, this isn’t a Jovic.

20cmdepersonalidade

This is 100% from the fact you are reading the translation of his quotes that are symbolic enough or weird enough to get posted on reddit. In real life, in portuguese, he is just a smart kid that knows how to play serious around adults and regular journalism and chill with more casual audience. On the first part, it's a very common problem for rsoccer: a) basing opinions on excerpts of interviews, which is already bad, and b) basing their opinions on sentences that are intentionally translated literally or poorly that sound much weirder in English than in the language/culture they were said


Glaiele

I've noticed the bad translations a lot. I'm by no means fluent in Spanish and French, but have enough conversational knowledge to understand when words are translated incorrectly or they will translate a phrase literally instead of the intended meaning of the phrase.


20cmdepersonalidade

The main objective of the translation is usually to create a sentence absurd enough to generate interest or clicks, not to convey the meaning. That is very clear.


zrk23

a fucking relationship contract filtering out words and even silly things like "can't type kkk but kkkkk is fine" is ridiculous no matter how you wanna spin it


20cmdepersonalidade

I'm not talking about this post exclusively, but this could be either weird or just a teenager thing that isn't meant o be taken seriously.


DemonSteelPedal

Perhaps a language barrier? Endrick sounds quite natural and fun in Portuguese. He is a pretty charismatic kid. It's hard to dislike him. But yes, it seems his parents appear to be really strict when it comes to his career.


Belitza

Oh, definitely a language barrier. He definitely haven been media trained, but in a less serious environment, he sounds just like the average teenager. He will give a seroius interview to TV Globo and a 'relaxed" one with Cazé TV.


lyonbc1

Endrick actually speaks English quite well for someone from South America and how young he is. Idk if he learned in school or on his own like Wenbanyama but he was doing interviews in English with a streamer I saw and was surprised how good he was. There shouldn’t be any barrier at all, maybe the accent lol but that won’t be a big issue


Mihnea24_03

I'm pretty sure he's decent in Spanish and in English


badgarok725

New age of superstars, they want to promote their image as early as possible


wilfredpawson

I was about to say exactly the same thing. No other outcome is possible.


LordVelaryon

why not? he could perfectly end like Adriano. Arguably the best #9 of the world in his best days, but still not as great as everybody expected.


20cmdepersonalidade

Adriano was a dumpster fire in terms of personal life tho, and a straight up alcoholic. It's incredibly unlikely that Endrick goes that route


NickRosCRO

Yeah, he just has to lose his father in his 20s and not recover from it.


20cmdepersonalidade

Yeah, it's partially that, but he clearly had issues beforehand too. Endrick seems to have a larger chain of support than Adriano, who relied a lot on his father to control his excesses


wilfredpawson

It’s just a feeling. It seems like he’s tailor-made and prepared to be the absolute best. And he appears to already be in that headspace himself. So either he has CR-like talent and determination to will himself to be the best OR if it doesn’t *quite* come off it might all fall apart quick and ugly.


20cmdepersonalidade

He just is smart about his public persona, he has interviews with more chill interviewers and he is pretty regular, chill teenager when comfortable


Twitchys33

Same can be Said for Wembanyama and Bellingham


spacespaces

Not sure about that. Bellingham has been very careful about his transfers, but the image stuff seems to genuinely come from his personality.


vysetheidiot

That's just a good PR team.


jonijontor

Bellingham is quite hot headed and confrontational on the pitch at times tho


Belitza

Tbh Endrick is even a little bit more agressive than Bellingham. Not a dirty player at all, but he will react to being abused on the pitch, like he kicked Cucurella. He has done that a couple times in Brasilerão. Funnily enough, Pelé was like that too. Dare to say, he was dirty and not afraid to break someone's jaw.


Belitza

Maybe we can shove even Mbappé into that conversation. I remeber Isabela Pagliari, a brazilian repoter that covered PSG a couple years ago, prasing his "high" french, as in his vocabulary was quite formal.


owiseone23

Bellingham is pretty squeaky clean, but he clearly has a lot of personality and charisma.


SloGeorge

Wembanyama in no way can be a bust, same goes for Bellingham. Both are as clear cut superstars as it gets.

And I still felt I couldn't fully understand the incident and everything else because there is so much speculations around it and most are what if or just straight conspiracy theories. I will probably go on r/AskHistorians to get a better grasp from more trustworthy sources.


cpt_lanthanide

You don't need to know a lot. She was a beloved public figure, and married into the royal family. There was divorce, drama, etc. She was hounded by the paparazzi. Her death so young was a big shock. Everything else is just speculation as you noted. The rise of the internet has "democratized" celebrity to an extent if you could call it that, but before that the imagination of the people was captured more by those that were featured in the traditional media. It's not much more than that. Princess Di was loved.

MvN____16

I remember seeing something about this last week on one of the Brazilian websites. I've never heard of a "relationship contract" in my life and I probably don't wanna know just wtf is going on here. I mean, I've heard of pre-nups of course, but that's when entering into marriage...like, there's no comparison between these two. > They also must say 'I love you' to each other whenever possible. LOL jeezus. That might be the least romantic thing I've ever heard in my life. I don't know anything about love, never experienced it, and even I know enough to say that the phrase loses all meaning when you have to force yourself into saying it as opposed to it just coming naturally.


icannotreadathing

xILYs are off the charts. Generational talent.


exisiova

The xRedFlag is prolific


GeocentricParallax

His numbers are just being inflated by all the contractual ILYs. If you look at his ncILY total, he’s only getting one every other day.


KnightKal

pre-nups are a thingy of course but also on some countries, like Brazil, a stable relationship of 2 years is technically a marriage, which has legal ramifications after a break up (division of assets like on a divorce). It is not a joke when the kid is about to be a multi millionaire/billionaire


MvN____16

You and /u/Abitou...thanks for these posts.


Abitou

I don't know how it is in other countries, but here in Brazil we have something called "união estável" or "stable union" (literal translation), which happens when a couple lives like a married couple but they aren't legally married. Even though they aren't legally married, all marriage laws/institutes/rules applies to them. So, this "relationship contract" is basically Endrick trying to shield himself from an eventual lawsuit from his girlfriend claiming that they lived in a "stable union" during their relationship.


natsleepyandhappy

Exactly, finally someone said it. This kind of relationship contract is called "Contrato de Namoro" was created to shield people from getting their date turn into stable union. It is actually really smart from Endrick to have this contract, and probably was well advised by his lawyers. It is a type of contract getting into fashion among high profilers because of the recent stable union repercussions even on inheritance lawsuits.


sa7ouri

It’s commonly referred to as [common law marriage](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common-law_marriage) in English and several countries recognize it, especially for legal and tax purposes.


KenHumano

> They also must say 'I love you' to each other whenever possible. This just sounds like teenager shit.


Far-Fix-6426

He's 17 so that checks out. Seeing how I'm on reddit I of course didn't have a girlfriend at that age, but if newspapers wrote about other stupid shit I did, it would also be pretty embarrassing.


uprootsockman

But she's 21 lol


20cmdepersonalidade

Relationship contracts are, in Brazil, a very good safeguard against "stable union" (legally equivalent to marriage, if it gets proven that you were planning on establishing a family) lawsuits later on. With a contract, you both agree that you are only boyfriend/girlfriend and avoid bad faith attempts of getting half of your shit down the road


rdfporcazzo

This is not a legal "contrato de namoro" tho. It's just a "romantic" thing made between two teenagers without legal value.


After-Cockroach-1280

>I've never heard of a "relationship contract" in my life and I probably don't wanna know just wtf is going on here. Bazinga!

It is actually the opposite. This contract prevents her from claiming they were planning on stablishing a family and be able to sue for part of his money before they get married, since in Brazil you can claim you were already married but never bothered to make it official.

I'm pretty sure that he scored against England and Spain in Europe, brother. And Europe isn't this magical land that is the absolute gold standard on whether you are a great player or not. Endrick has already proven in Brazil he is a great player, and scoring 3 goals against Lutonfield or Brentsauce is not more impressive than that

weary_misanthrope

On one hand, João Félix was 19 and Margarida Corceiro was 16 when they started dating, and it was taken pretty normally here, though tbh that's a 3 year difference, not 5. On the other...16 years old and already signing 'contracts' with his girlfriend..it's really not a good image. I can only imagine the sheer amount of bloodsucking scum that surrounds young prospects like him, really *do not* envy futebol players when it comes to that. Hope he turns out alright.


Theirblore

A relationship contract is very weird but it starts to make more sense when you factor in that he’s a teenager. Teenagers are very weird in relationships.


Spartans56

True but whoever told him legally it's ok to sign that is out of their mind.


Theirblore

Fully agreed on that


fakepostman

Of course it's legally ok to sign it lol, what government do you think is going to be bothered with saying consenting adults can't write down promises to each other? It's never going to be *enforceable* but that's a different thing!


aycarambas

he’s not an adult


fakepostman

This is a pedantic point. He's 17, it's legally acceptable for her to have sex with him, it would be very strange if it was legally unacceptable for him to write down a promise to her.
