Watch Endrick Get Sent Flying In First Brazil Training Session After Strong Tackle From Arsenal Defender Gabriel
Arsenal center-back Gabriel welcomed Endrick to international football this week by knocking the teenager clean off his feet during his first training session with Brazil's senior team.
Seventeen-year-old Endrick is set to make his debut for Brazil against Colombia on Thursday night in what is likely to be a physical battle.
Gabriel did his best to prepare his new teammate for that battle by refusing to go easy on him during a practice game on Tuesday.
Footage of Gabriel barging Endrick off the ball went viral on social media.
One fan commented: "Gabriel doing Endrick a favour here. Showing him first hand what it'll be like to play in Europe when he goes Real Madrid in 8 months time."
Endrick will join Real Madrid from Palmeiras after his 18th birthday in July.
According to a report by GOAL in December last year when Endrick's future move was agreed, Real will pay €72 million in transfer-related fees.
Palmeiras are set to receive €35m up front, plus a further €25m in add-ons. Real must also pay €12m in taxes.
