Celebrating a free kick is a blessing for Flamengo fans. Against Bahia, the scream was buried in Erick Pulgar's two kicks. This characteristic is old in the midfielder's career, who is considered the cog in the squad this season.
Pulgar is going through the best moment since arriving at Flamengo. With Jorge Sampaoli, the Chilean became the team's mainstay and participated in 24 of the 39 games. Internally, the selection of the midfielder is seen, even by the players themselves, as necessary for the proper functioning of the midfield.
Athletes see the use of Pulgar as a factor that provides security in marking and leaving ball. The numbers analyzed by Flamengo place the midfielder as one of the athletes with the most distance covered in games. There are almost 10 km in every match.
The fouls against Bahia unlocked memories for the red and blacks. Flamengo went through a three-year drought without a free kick. The period was broken by Andreas Pereira, in 2021, against Juventude. Since then, Arrascaeta has converted on two opportunities. The last against Atlético this year. At Maracanã, Pulgar's first shot hit the crossbar and the second scraped the post.
It wasn't this time that the Chilean was disenchanted with set pieces - Pulgar has already scored twice against Flamengo. One of them, including a shot from outside the area against Vasco. If it depends on the training at Ninho, this taboo has everything to be broken soon.
Pulgar is the one who trains the most free kicks and is the one who has the best use too. Léo Pereira, Arrascaeta and David Luiz are other names that focus on set pieces - daily - at Ninho do Urubu. Internally, the Chilean is considered the best hitter and, therefore, there is a process for him to become the club's official hitter.
In Italy, for both Fiorentina and Bologna, Pulgar was responsible for the ball stop. In 2019, the Chilean scored one of Bologna's goals in the 3-0 victory over Sampdoria. In 2021, already with Fiorentina, the midfielder scored in the defeat to Milan. In Europe, Pulgar was also the corner kick taker.
In the Brasileirão, for Flamengo, before the game against Bahia, Pulgar had only risked a free kick, against Santos, in the 12th round. On that occasion, the Chilean shot over the goal without danger to the goalkeeper. Interestingly, in this same game, the midfielder scored his last goal.

Flamengo has once again been approached by European clubs interested in one of its most talked-about prospects: midfielder Lorran. According to journalist Venê Casagrande, Pisa, recently promoted to the Italian football elite, made a loan offer for the player, but the terms of the negotiation did not please the red-black board, which chose to reject the proposal.
With the decision, the club kept Lorran in the under-20 squad , where he competes in the Brazilian Championship in the category. Despite being away from the main squad, the youngster continues to stand out with good performances and technical moves in training, which continues to arouse the interest of teams outside the country.
PISA RETURNS TO ITALIAN SERIES A AFTER 34 YEARS
Pisa is experiencing a historic moment after securing promotion to Italy's Serie A for the first time in 34 years. Led by Filippo Inzaghi, the team is looking for reinforcements and identified Lorran as an opportunity for young talent to join the squad. However, despite their rising European profile, the deal was not successful.
Other European clubs, such as Lille from France, are also showing interest in the midfielder. Information from the portal “RTI Esportes” reveals that the French club met with José Boto , an executive with a history in European football, to evaluate the viability of a proposal of €15 million (approximately R$96.7 million).
NEGOTIATIONS WITH RUSSIA CLUBS
This is not the first time that Lorran's future has been discussed. Earlier this year, the player was very close to a transfer to CSKA in Russia , but the deal was cancelled in the final moments. The Rio de Janeiro club's board also sought a possible loan transfer to Estoril in Portugal, without success.

Without a place in the squad led by Filipe Luís, the player is not part of the plans for the rest of the season.
