Last Sunday, Flamengo beat Santos 3-2, at Vila Belmiro, in a match valid for the 12th round of the Brazilian Championship. With goals from Cebolinha, Everton Ribeiro and Pulgar, the red and black team added three more points in the competition and returned to the G4.
With more dominance than the opponent, Flamengo managed to impose its style of play against the Saints. However, defensive errors occurred again in the duel, but as he took advantage of his chances, he managed to end with victory.
After the victory, Eric Faria used his social networks to talk about Flamengo's victory. The journalist highlighted the quality of the Red and Black's attack, but warned about the number of goals in the last two games.
“Flamengo achieved the result because they have better players. Two good moves from Gerson. Two good finishes from Ribeiro and Erick. But in two matches after FIFA Data the team conceded SIX goals. It has the best attack, which is an important point”, wrote Eric.

Flamengo's squad continues its preparations for the season's upcoming matches. According to team doctor Fernando Sassaki, only one player from the main squad remains out of action at the moment: midfielder Erick Pulgar, who recently underwent surgery on his right foot after a serious injury suffered at the Club World Cup . In an interview with 'Flamengo TV,' Sassaki provided details about the player's current condition and recovery.
" So far, we have most of the players fit, except for Erick Pulgar, who suffered a fractured fifth metatarsal. Our department recommended the surgery, and it was performed. The surgery went well, without any complications. We spoke with the doctor who performed the procedure and with the athlete. He is now resting and returning to rehabilitation," the professional said.
HOW ERICK PULGAR'S INJURY OCCURRED
The injury that forced Pulgar to leave the field occurred during the Club World Cup Round of 16 match against Bayern Munich. The number 5 was involved in a collision with England striker Harry Kane and ended up getting the worst of it . While still on the field, the Chilean received initial medical attention and was soon taken to a hospital for further examination.
The surgical procedure was performed last Thursday (03), in Chile, the athlete's home country. Pulgar chose to undergo the operation with the medical team that has been with him since the beginning of his career, which provided greater safety for the player during the process. According to the medical department's estimates, the midfielder's return to the field should occur between September and October, depending on the progress of his recovery.
FLAMENGO FACES SÃO PAULO ON SATURDAY
While Pulgar continues to recover, coach Filipe Luís is taking advantage of training to adjust the final details of the team that will face São Paulo next Saturday (12), in the Brazilian Championship.
