Speaking to Brazilian television channel <\/span>TV Globo<\/em><\/i><\/a>, the striker stressed the importance of being grateful for everything football provides. Highlighting the contrast between elite football and everyday working life, Endrick said: “We [footballers] face enormous pressure, but we have to be grateful for what football provides us. Of course there are high-pressure moments, but football gives us wonderful things that can change our families’ lives.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Dismissing complaints about pressure in the sport, he added: “It isn’t hard being a footballer. Yes, certain things that happen are difficult, but we cannot claim that being a player is hard. What’s hard is being someone who wakes up at 5am to go to work, labouring Monday to Sunday.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
