How are they contributing to the team's success?
Rayan and Endrick are standing out for their tactical skills and commitment without the ball. They are learning to protect the right corridor and offer constant coverage to Danilo. Against Japan, Rayan was instrumental in the play that resulted in the qualifying goal.
What's next?
The injury of Lucas Paquetá opens the way for a new chapter. Endrick emerges as one of the main candidates for the spot on Sunday and may get his first chance as a starter in a World Cup knockout stage.
