“The best thing you can do as a player is invest in your personal development, I want to stay focused on my goals,” Endrick said. “I am going to join a Spanish team and I have to understand English as a global language of the soccer community.”

Endrick also went on to explain how Sarah helped him understand what it’s like to play in Europe, from a cultural perspective.

“Sarah helped me understand what it’s like to play in Europe, and how I need to prepare both mentally and culturally,” Endrick explained. “Here in South America, it’s very different. And without this kind of preparation, adaptation will be very challenging.”
