One of the greatest idols in Flamengo's history, Zico revealed the candidate he will support in the Rubro-Negro presidential elections: Luiz Eduado Baptista (Bap). Galinho recorded a video this Monday (2) to justify his support for the candidate. According to the Mais Querido idol, an event that occurred 14 years ago was fundamental in his choice.
" One of the words I have with me is gratitude. One of the people who made me have this gratitude is called BAP , who is now a candidate for president of Flamengo. During a difficult, complicated moment that happened to me in 2010 at Flamengo, he was always by my side and kept his word until the end. I always tell him this: gratitude is something that I take with me. with me, and I will always be grateful for you. Besides, of course, the competence, the seriousness, the professionalism, the real man who arrives and often says what you don't want to hear", began Zico.
"But what can, can. And what can't, can't. Since 2012, when he joined Flamengo, Flamengo is different. With his help, of course, with an important team, but he was important for Flamengo to be what it is today. That's why I'm with him. I have other friends in other candidates, but BAP is ahead. That's why I'm going to support him a lot and I'll be there for him to be elected president of Flamengo." , added Galinho.
FACT THAT ZICO TOOK INTO CONSIDERATION
At the time, in 2010, the then Mais Querido partner Leonardo Ribeiro stated that the contract concluded between Rubro-Negro and Centro de Futebol Zico would be harmful to the club's interests. According to Captain Léo, players who were from CFZ started to reach Flamengo's youth categories, gaining more space than those who were already at Ninho. The rights of these athletes were shared, leaving 50$ for the club.
Thus, due to the accusation, Zico filed a lawsuit against Leonardo Ribeiro. After Galinho's attitude, the former partner retreated and said he was misunderstood. It is worth remembering that in 2010, Mais Querido's idol was the club's football director and, according to the video, he had the support of BAP.

Sesc Flamengo continues to restructure, with new players arriving and leaving. As such, Mais Querido has signed Simone Lee, a 28-year-old American who played last season for Megabox Vallefoglia-ITA.
WHO IS SIMONE LEE?
Simone Lee 's signing has been rumored for some time. The athlete is 1.88m tall and also has a German volleyball background, enjoying the peak of her career last season. She was voted the best attacker in the 2023/24 Turkish Championship.
Throughout her career, Simone has won two German Championships, one Italian Championship, one German Cup and one Nations League for the United States. She was discovered by Pennsylvania State University and went to Europe in the 2017/18 season.

Luiz Eduardo Baptista took over as president of Flamengo in January, after winning the red-black elections at the end of 2024. Thus, the leader of Mais Querido gave a quick interview to the press present in the United States and exposed the financial reality that the club found after the end of Rodolfo Landim's management.
Flamengo had money for two days, so Flamengo had a good economic situation, but a bad financial situation", highlighted Bap.
He continued: "If Flamengo were a company earning R$1.5 billion per year, it would have to have around R$300, R$400 million in cash. That's how you run a company. No one runs a large company with less than 3, 4 months of cash in hand. Like that guy who has furniture, furnishings, but no money in the bank. He had no liquidity," revealed Bap.
INCREASE IN DEBT IN 2024
It is worth remembering that Flamengo released the annual report with the audited financial statements for the 2024 fiscal year. The balance sheet even showed record revenue of R$1.3 billion, but also indicated a 581% increase in net operating debt, which went from R$48 million to R$327 million, and a deficit of R$734 thousand.
SOLUTIONS TO SAVE MONEY
Finding itself in a delicate financial situation, Flamengo 's focus at the beginning of the year was to increase its cash flow. Thus, with the non-renewal of David Luiz and Gabigol's contracts, the Rubro-Negro made room in the monthly payroll. In addition, the Rubro-Negro agreed to sell Fabrício Bruno to Cruzeiro for R$44 million.
FOCUS ON SEASON SEQUENCE
So, while Bap continues trying to recover Flamengo financially, the red-black squad focuses on the next commitment in the Club World Cup. Rubro-Negro returns to the field this Tuesday (24), at 10 pm (Brasília time), for the match against Los Angeles FC.
