BAP ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY FOR PRESIDENCY OF FLAMENGO: TOWARDS THE ELECTIONS!

A former Flamengo target in the primeira window of the year, is almost certainly a rival from Rio. This is because Botafogo overcame previous difficulties with Udinese and is still in the process of signing Matheus Martins, a 21-year-old striker. The operation will cost 10 million euros (R$ 60 million), with a further 2 million euros in bonuses, for 90% of the attacker's economic rights.

Only the athlete's signature separates the negotiation from being assured officially, but both parties already consider the operation as done.

Flamengo even negotiated with the striker, while he was on vacation in Rio de Janeiro. Some meetings took place, but there was no agreement with the Europeans. Another point was that at the time of the red-black attack, the player had the desire to continue in Europe.

So far, the rubro-negro< /a> has not signed any players since the start of the transfer window. The attempts with midfielder Marcos Antônio were unsuccessful and the Rio club ended up taking a beating from São Paulo, which signed the player. So far, the only name in which Flamengo is negotiating is with midfielder Claudinho, from Zenit, in Russia. Despite the Russians' tough game, everything is fine between the player and Flamengo.

Last Wednesday (24), striker Carlinhos secured three points for Flamengo over Vitória. Due to his way of celebrating, the player received the nickname "Bellingham da Gávea" from the red-black fans. Thus, the athlete commented on the joke.

"For me: Ronaldo, Romário and Adriano, I'm a big fan of them and I always try to imitate them. I know there's a lot missing. And I like the fans because they're creative: “it's Adriano Imperador's Avatar”, “Bellingham da Gávea”… That's cool. Here, for the guys, I'm the “thunder” because a partner of mine said: “Can I make a stop at your boot”? forget it", he said, in an interview with FlaTV.

In addition to commenting on the fans' joke, Carlinhos also spoke about the meaning of the way he celebrates goals as a Flamengo player.

"I came from an evangelical family, and at home there were a lot of evangelical films. Even though my name is Carlos Moisés, I always liked the opposite side, which is Pharaoh Ramses . My mother would scold me, I would put my hand on my waist (laughs)", he said, before finishing:

"When I grew up, I always did this to her: “Mom, Ramses has arrived”. In this review I told my brothers that this was going to be the celebration. My posture was stupid, but it was more to provoke my mother. This position he takes is one of authority, a bit harshly, I identified with the celebration", he concluded.

So, with Carlinhos at his disposal, Flamengo started preparation for the clash against Atlético-GO this Friday afternoon (26). The game will be on Sunday (28), valid for the 20th round of the Brasileirão, at 4pm.

According to Coluna do Fla, the election in Flamengo is heating up and promises to be one of the most competitive in recent times. Recently, Alexandre Póvoa, a big name at the club, entered the fray by announcing his support for the BAP group. Póvoa, who is a prominent athlete and also a worthy member of Flamengo, made a point of making his position clear, inviting the red and black fans to join him.

In a statement, Póvoa highlighted his enthusiasm by BAP and his desire to see Flamengo reach new heights. "I will walk in this election together with BAP and I invite all red and black people to come together and believe that we can be much more than we are today - Win, win, win! SRN", stated the athlete. This type of support is a clear sign that the election is far from a formality and that there is significant mobilization behind the scenes.

THE BAP, which already has a solid base of supporters, now has the support of a major figure like Alexandre Póvoa. The influence of a worthy partner, especially someone with Póvoa's trajectory, could be a turning point in the campaign. Póvoa's decision not only strengthens BAP's position, but may also influence other members and fans to position themselves in favor of the group.
