Three days ago, The Mirror reported that scouts from Barcelona, Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City were all at the Copa São Paulo de Futebol Junior Championships to watch 15-year-old Palmeiras phenom Endrick — who's already progressed to Brazil's U-20 squad and is spoken of in the same reverent tones that persuaded much of the globe to find an illegal stream of a Santos match to watch the prodigy known as Neymar.
Those scouts were there on Wednesday bearing witness to something truly special: a 20-yard bicycle kick struck with pace, accuracy and an otherness of athleticism that stands out like old highlights of Pelé.
There's no other player on the planet right now that decides to perform this action in this moment and pulls it off to perfection, and that's what makes Endrick such a fascinating prospect.
