Jorginho hails Pulgar as one of Flamengo’s best | OneFootball

"For me, he is a hugely important player. He can drop into a back three with the centre-backs very comfortably and with quality, he has heart and gives everything, body and soul. He is one of the best players at Flamengo," said Jorginho.

He was speaking to Chilean outlet Diário AS.

Pulgar's standing with Flamengo supporters continues to grow, prompting a giant banner from an organised group. The club is preparing a line of licensed products for the Chilean, including figurines.

In midfield he fills a role few team-mates share. Jorginho, Saúl, De La Cruz, Paquetá and Evertton Araújo are not hunters like the Chilean. He also helps the centre-backs in build-up and threatens from distance.

Flamengo confirmed his arrival on 29 July 2022 from Fiorentina in Italy, in a deal worth 2.8 million euros, around R$ 15 million.

Former defender Junior Baiano has praised his passing and set-piece quality, adding that he is a fan and believes Erick joined the right team.
