The awarding of the Flamengo star to Erick Pulgar

Erick Pulgar is among those called upon to support the national team. Not only because of the crucial function that he performs on the field, in front of the defenders, as one of those responsible for preventing the last line from being attacked by the rival team. Also for the experience he has gained during his career, which includes stints at Antofagasta and UC locally and Bologna, Fiorentina and Galatasaray abroad.

At 29, the midfielder is in his prime and confirms this within Flamengo, the most popular team in Brazil and one of the most important in South America. . In Tite’s team, he arrived to start a campaign that places him sixth in the Brasileirao, with 57 points, five less than the leader, Palmeiras.

In the current tournament, Pulgar has six participations. Three of them were starters . In the Brazilian Cup he added six more matches, always from the start. Four duels in the Copa Libertadores and Cup Winners’ Cup complete the player’s current cycle record .

In Brazil, people warn that Antofagasta has become a centerpiece. And it is in this sense that the club treats it as such. like a real star . To the point that they consider it necessary to have it available for as many meetings as possible.

In this sense, for example, the club will activate a plan so that the return of the northerner from Quito takes place as quickly as possible. On Thursday, Fla must face Bragantino, one of the teams ahead of it in the standings. s. Tite wants to tell Pulgar yes or yes. Ideally even for the last training before the clash against the team linked to Red Bull.

In this context, The club will provide Pulgar with a private plane from Quito. That is to say, as soon as the match against the Spanish team of Félix Sánchez Boas is over and he passes through the locker room, the player will be transferred to the airport to begin his immediate return. . According to reports from Brazil, it was the footballer himself who submitted the request to the club management, who accepted the request.

In Brazil there is concern that the altitude causes greater wear and tear, but we know that Chilean footballers do not encounter major problems with this geographical factor.

Tite was clear with the management of the red-black team: he wants all the players who participate in the second duel of the Qualifiers double meeting to be available for the next duel. In the case of Pulgar, the only apprehension regarding his participation in the clash against Bragantino concerns the wear and tear he suffers during the duel in the Ecuadorian capital. .

In this context, similar operations will also be organized in the event of Uruguayans Giorgian de Arrascaeta and Guillermo Varela , who were considered by Marcelo Bielsa for the Celeste and who made the same request as Pulgar. The Charrúas welcome Bolivia, with the concrete mathematical possibility of finishing in first place in the ranking, if Argentina misses units.
