World Cup
Edric was called up to the Brazilian national team at the age of … Ronaldo
Edric is capitalizing on his excellent last few months at Palmeiras and has been called up to the Brazilian national team for the first time, at an age when Ronaldo was last called up three decades ago.
Fernando Diniz has announced Brazil’s squad for Colombia’s World Cup qualifier against Argentina and one of his favorites is Edric.
The 17-year-old prodigy from Palmeiras, who will play for Real from 2024, was called up to the national team for the first time after excellent performances under Abel Ferreira.
The national coach couldn’t overlook what Edric has been doing recently, becoming the youngest Brazilian to be called up to his country’s representative group since 1994, and Ronaldo!
