The pressure for me was Endrick's father, who saved lunch for dinner

Bruno Guimarães reflected on Endrick's family sacrifices after Brazil's 3-2 loss to Japan, recalling how the striker's father saved lunch for dinner.

Brazil suffered another setback, losing 3-2 to Japan in a match that deepened concerns about the national team's current form. After the game, midfielder Bruno Guimarães offered perspective beyond the result, speaking about the sacrifices made by Endrick's family to help the forward reach elite football.

"The pressure for me was Endrick's father, who saved lunch so Endrick could have it for dinner," Guimarães said. "It was Marlon, who became a father at 14 and lived under the stands. What we experience here is a privilege."

His comments highlighted the contrast between the hardships faced by players' families in their rise through football and the current demands placed on Brazil's internationals, who are struggling to meet expectations.
