The Love Gunner has also become the Solidarity Gunner. Vagner Love is participating in a charity initiative to help victims of the earthquake that devastated Haiti earlier this year. The Flamengo striker, along with Sevilla's Luis Fabiano, São Paulo's Hernanes, and Shakhtar Donetsk's Willian, donated an autographed jersey to be auctioned on the Toda Oferta website to raise funds for the NGO Doctors Without Borders.

Doctors Without Borders is an independent humanitarian organization committed to bringing aid to those most in need. In light of recent events in Haiti, the NGO has mobilized to auction four soccer jerseys donated by top players, and now this chain of goodwill is in your hands. Help the victims of Haiti and win your official autographed jersey. Payment will be made directly to Doctors Without Borders, and 100% of the proceeds will go to aid projects in Haiti.

On the field, Vagner Love is also in high spirits. Despite missing a penalty against Universidad Católica last Wednesday, the player was highly praised by teammate Leonardo Moura. According to the right-back, having Love was a long-standing desire of Flamengo. The number 2 also thanked the heavens for the difficult time Vagner experienced at Palmeiras upon his return to Brazil last year.

"Thank God he didn't work out at Palmeiras, because we always wanted to count on him. I even joke that the fact that Palmeiras fans heckled him on the street was a good thing. He ended up here. He's a player who moves a lot and, despite his short stature, he knows how to play the pivot role very well. Our number 9 has been helping us a lot and will help us even more in the rest of this season," he said.
