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. In a video published this Saturday (10), the red-black midfielder appears with the white Mantle, with words provoking Palmeiras and the four trophies of Mengão in the competition during a futsal match in Chile.

WHAT ELSE IS ON PULGAR'S SHIRT?

Additionally, the shirt also features the phrase “only four-time champion of 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 titles won by Flamengo, Pulgar participated in two. However, in 2022, the midfielder barely played. Nonetheless, last year, the number 5 was a key player in coach Filipe Luís's strategy 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 Libertadores final of 2021. The second is due to a player who was on the field in both decisions. Five years ago, Andreas Pereira made a significant 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 begins pre-season training, aiming for the debut of the Brasileirão on the 28th, against São Paulo. Additionally, on February 1st, the Supercopa do Brasil will take 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 will take place at 6 PM (Brasília time), at the Raulino de Oliveira Stadium. Globo will broadcast the match to most of Brazil, while the pay-per-view Premiere will show the game nationwide.
