Endrick has revitalized his World Cup hopes with Brazil after a successful loan stint at Lyon, scoring 7 goals and providing 7 assists in 18 matches.

What happened?

Endrick's comeback began after he was loaned to Lyon from Real Madrid, where opportunities were limited after the arrival of Xabi Alonso.

He played a crucial role in Brazil's 3-1 victory over Croatia in late March, coming on as a substitute and earning a penalty.

Why it matters for Endrick

The 19-year-old prodigy had struggled this season and faced a "night of doubts" before the match against Croatia, but his performance caught the eye of Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti.

Endrick's form has been a key factor in his resurgence, and he is now focused on making it to the World Cup.

What comes next?

Endrick is part of a generation of Brazil players who must carry the weight of not winning a World Cup for 24 years, but he asserts that he no longer pays attention to external pressures.

He has learned to handle criticism and social media, and now focuses on his recovery and performance on the pitch.

Endrick is also looking forward to becoming a father, with his wife Gabriely expecting their child by the end of the year.

He hopes his child will have a peaceful life and not follow in his footsteps in football, instead pursuing a career as a lawyer or doctor.

Endrick's maturity has been evident amid the changes in his life, and he sees his period without games at Real Madrid as an important part of his growth.

The player's thigh injury kept him off the field for a quarter of a year, but he has since bounced back with impressive performances for Lyon.

On the pitch, Endrick has been able to shake off negative thoughts and pressure, and now plays with a sense of freedom.

His goal is to make it to the World Cup and perform well for Brazil, and with his current form, he is on the right track.

Endrick's story is one of perseverance and determination, and his success with Lyon has given him a new lease on life as a footballer.

As the World Cup approaches, Endrick is ready to take on the challenge and make his mark on the international stage.
