Flamengo fans honor Pulgar with giant flag and midfielder returns the affection

oglobo12 September 2026 at 16:31

Midfielder Erick Pulgar was honored by Flamengo's Torcida Jovem on Saturday morning (12), at the entrance to Ninho do Urubu. The Chilean received a flag with his image in an action organized by the organized fan group.

Pulgar made a point of meeting the members of Torcida Jovem to personally thank them for the affection and signed the flag. The gesture reinforces the midfielder's identification with the red-and-black fans.

The tribute comes especially after the renewal of the player's contract with Flamengo until 2029. Nicknamed "Pitbull," Pulgar is considered one of the important pieces of the squad and maintains a strong relationship with the Nation since his arrival at the club.

Why this matters

Flamengo fans and admirers of Brazilian football closely follow the relationship between players and organized fan groups, and Pulgar's renewal until 2029 indicates that the Chilean should continue as an important piece of the squad. The gesture demonstrates the reciprocity of affection between athlete and fans, something valued by the red-and-black supporters.
