Endrick is back in the headlines, but not for his goal-scoring prowess that first made him a household name in Brazil. Nor is it for his unusual declaration earlier this year that Bobby Charlton is his idol.
This time, Endrick was spotted signing autographs for fans on the streets—while playing the popular mobile game Clash Royale.
Currently on international duty with Brazil, Endrick is preparing for the Selecao’s next World Cup qualifier against Peru in Brasília. Despite Brazil’s recent underwhelming performances, fans still lined up to get autographs from the players before they returned to camp.
When Endrick approached to sign, his phone was clearly displaying a Clash Royale match.

Far from trying to hide it, he juggled his attention between the two tasks—signing one autograph, taking a few moments to tap on his phone, and then returning to his fans again.
Endrick didn’t start in Brazil’s 2-1 win against Chile earlier this week, but he could see some minutes in the upcoming match against Peru.
He’ll be eager to prove that he deserves a starting spot, not just for his national team but also at Real Madrid, where his season has been somewhat inconsistent.
Still only 18, Endrick has scored two goals for Real Madrid so far this season. However, his decision-making has faced criticism, especially after his performance in Madrid’s 1-0 loss to LOSC Lille in the UEFA Champions League.
