As: Paulinho Enrique did not play in the Bundesliga and regained his form after returning to Brazil

In the early morning of June 29, in the 18th final of the Club World Cup, Palmeiras defeated Botafogo 1-0 to advance. Paulinho Enrique scored for Palmeiras. "As" posted a post after the game, introducing the player.

Paulinho Enrique is 24 years old. In 2017, he and (now Real Madrid striker) Vinicius won the U17 South American Championships championship with (now Real Madrid striker) Vinicius. In that game, Paulinho performed well, when he claimed in an interview that he was better than his friend Vinicius. In the summer of 2018, Paulinho transferred to Leverkusen in the Bundesliga with a net worth of 20 million euros, making him the most expensive player in the history of Vascoda Gama (this record has not been broken so far).

Regrettably, Paulinho never found form in Leverkusen, and he was loaned back to Atletico Brazil on loan in early 2023. Paulinho found the best environment to stand out again at Atletico Minero, and he became the top scorer in the Brazil League in 2023. Although Paulinho encountered injuries again later, Palmeiras chose to sign him earlier this year.

Paulinho has scored two goals in this Club World Cup. He hopes to maintain his current good form and strive to be selected for the Brazilian team to participate in next year's World Cup.
