Erick Pulgar Played a Futsal Game with Friends Wearing the Sacred Mantle

“No one dies owing us.” The phrase that became a symbol of Flamengo's fourth championship in the Libertadores inspired Erick Pulgar.

WHAT ELSE IS ON PULGAR'S SHIRT?

Additionally, the shirt also features the phrase “only four-time champion in Brazil” and the years of each of Flamengo's victories: 1981, 2019, 2022, and 2025. The match with friends took place in Antofagasta, Chile, the hometown of midfielder Erick Pulgar.

Of the four Libertadores won by Flamengo, Pulgar participated in two. In 2022, however, the midfielder barely played. Nevertheless, last year, the number 5 was a key player in coach Filipe Luís's scheme for winning the fourth championship.

WHAT DOES THE PHRASE “NO ONE DIES OWING US” MEAN?

The phrase has a double interpretation, both linked to Palmeiras. The first is that Flamengo avenged the defeat suffered in the 2021 Libertadores final. The second is due to a player who was on the field in both finals. Five years ago, Andreas Pereira made a major mistake for Mengo, handing the title to the São Paulo team. Now on the other side, the midfielder was a runner-up again.

WHEN WILL PULGAR RETURN TO FLAMENGO?

Pulgar and the main squad of Flamengo are enjoying their last days of vacation. This is because, on Monday (12), the group starts the preseason, aiming for the debut in the Brasileirão on the 28th, against São Paulo. Additionally, on February 1st, the Supercopa do Brasil takes place against Corinthians in Brasília.

Therefore, Flamengo will take the field with the under-20 team this Sunday (11), against Portuguesa, in Volta Redonda. The match takes place at 6 PM (Brasília time) at the Raulino de Oliveira Stadium. Globo will broadcast the match to a large part of Brazil, while the pay-per-view Premiere will show the game nationwide.
