In Portuguese it's a bit of a problem because while in Spanish "Flaco" means skinny / slim, in Portuguese "Fraco" means weak.

There is no confirmation from the club that that anyone from the club has made this request. This came from some social media account that follows the club. It has been debunked as of now.
The idea of Endrick staying at Palmeiras is a tricky one for me entirely because of the different schedules in Europe and Brazil and the problems created by that. Endrick staying in Brazil through the end of the season - on the surface - feels like a good idea to me because he's going to get consistent playing time, which he won't in 2024-'25 with Madrid. I think we realize that. Barring a real shocking development, we're not gonna be in an '18-'19-type scenario where Vini got a whole bunch of playing time thru Solari because it was a transitional season. Endrick's gonna come here and do a lot more watching than playing, and guys at his age need as much (properly monitored) playing time as they can get. You don't get better just sitting. Palmeiras re gonna be competing for the Brazilian championship again, they're gonna be competing deep into Libertadores, and they're likely making a run in the Brazilian Cup as well, there's going to be playing time to go around. On the other hand...1) there's every change he's gonna get hacked to pieces when given the chance because everybody knows how highly he was valued and signed to leave Brazil, which is dangerous for his longer term health, and 2) if he doesn't join Madrid in time for pre-season training, then he's not likely going to carve out any role whatsoever for next season. He won't be properly drilled in tactics and he'll be lacking sharpness with teammates. I dunno what the right decision is here. Maybe it's "don't sign with a mega club as a teenager", it's better for players to sign with a smaller club playing European football where there's guaranteed playing time from a young age, but obviously if Palmeiras is getting €70M offers and it's f*cking Real Madrid making the offer, both the club and player are inclined to say "yes".
🚨⚪️ Understand there’s absolutely no chance for Endrick to stay at Palmeiras on loan until December.“No way, impossible”, the clear reaction from sources. 🇧🇷Palmeiras have not even requested that to Real Madrid as they know there’s no chance. pic.twitter.com/4XDXFrEwsg— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) February 21, 2024
I don't see how, even on the surface, it would be a good idea for him to stay in Brazil. If we intended to loan Endrick, which is unknown for the moment, the club would rather he get acclimated to Europe playing in a European club. A player of his stature would probably garner a serious loan fee from a club like Dortmund for example. If we were to loan him back to Brazil, he would have to join our club midseason, with even less of a chance at carving his own role in the team.

I love my club but I see them like 60 times a year My NT maybe 10 times if I’m lucky so I welcome the NT games
Eh, I don't mind having a free weekend every now and then. Don't need them every four weeks early in the season but it's been non-stop now for over three months; I welcome a brief pause before the storm to end the season.
Pretty unbelievable that Brazil are playing England and it's England that has more talent on the field than them. When was the last time that happened.
I'd say Bellingham is more popular in Brazil right now than all Brazil players. An ESPN commentator is doing his best to turn Jude into a big icon in Brazil thanks to his BELIGOOOL scream. It's quite fun. I hear kids screaming BELIGOOOOLLL on the streets when playing ball.
