The management of football at Flamengo is the target of constant criticism from the media and Mais Querido fans. Currently, the vice-president of Football, Marcos Braz, is one of the main sources of complaints from red and black people on social media and is seen as an amateur among professionals in the field. The topic is frequently discussed behind the scenes at the club, in the midst of the upcoming election period. Luiz Eduardo Baptista, Bap, pre-candidate for the presidency of Flamengo , spoke in an interview with presenter João Guilherme's podcast that the names leading the portfolio do not are the most important thing, but the philosophy and structure implemented by the representatives and that Mengão's football director needs to be able to lead the entire department, from the base, to the team's style of play.
“The first point is that names are not as relevant as structure and philosophy. When you don't have that, you can put any name and it won't make a difference. So I understand that the first thing is to have a technical director responsible for all football at Flamengo. He has to understand how the club wants to play, training athletes, selling athletes, the concept of “winning, winning and winning”, said Bap.
The pre-candidate also said that the director would have to present a concrete plan as the club already knows what its obligations related to the Brazilian football calendar will be from the end of each season and emphasized that Botafogo prepared better for the year 2024 than Flamengo.
“How do you translate this red-black dream into everyday actions? Playing 78 games a year, with a calendar like we will have in 2025? ‘We want to win, win and win’, but are you going to do things the same way? September of last year we already knew exactly what this year would be like. When I see considerations of ‘we are playing a lot, the calendar is disastrous’, we already knew it would be like this since September. Botafogo knew and, in my opinion, prepared better than Flamengo”, he concluded.

Last Tuesday, the candidate for re-election for mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo Paes, denied the journalist Ancelmo Gois, from Globo. In a post on Instagram, the mayor informed that the city hall will be responsible for removing the megastructure on the gas meter site, different from what was reported. Furthermore, he guaranteed that Flamengo will have its new stadium, with the best conditions and security.
The news published by Ancelmo informs that Flamengo would have to pay R$100 million to remove a large gas structure present on land acquired by the club, which is owned by CEG and CEG-Rio, which are companies that are part of the gas concessionaire Naturgy.
According to the article, the companies were informed that Flamengo is the responsible for bearing the expenses, as provided for in one of the annexes to the land purchase and transfer contract. The clause, however, does not have a specified limit.
Paes stated that the values for the transfer of the structure are different from what was pointed out in the article by Ancelmo Gois. Furthermore, it exempted Flamengo from any responsibility, and that the city hall has been planning to remove it for years.
“They are making me defend @flamengo more than I would like: let it be clear that this is not the The cost of this transfer and when it happens will be the responsibility of the city of Rio, which knows that this structure cannot be in an area that is already receiving so many residential buildings. It's been in our plans for a long time! Flamengo will have its new stadium there in the gasometer with all the quality and safety that the region demands and deserves. Period!”, published the mayor.

One of Flamengo's presidential candidates, Luiz Eduardo Baptista, better known as BAP, announced that the club's possible new stadium should cost approximately R$2.5 billion. The project, which aims to build an arena in the Gasometer region, in the center of Rio de Janeiro, foresees a capacity for 70 thousand fans. The statement was given in an exclusive interview with Lance!, as part of a series with all the candidates for the red-black election, scheduled for December this year.
BAP, when estimating the value of R$ 2.5 billion for the construction, highlighted that the club will face legal challenges regarding the acquisition of the land, which belonged to a fund administered by Caixa Econômica Federal and was expropriated by Rio City Hall. He believes that there will be a legal imbroglio over the area, but he was confident in overcoming these obstacles.
“I estimate that a stadium of 70 thousand seats will cost around R$2.5 billion. I am absolutely sure that there will be a legal battle, because, in Brazil, this ends up being politically influenced as well. We hope that, with the team we have, we can overcome these challenges and find a solution that benefits all parties involved — Caixa, the Caixa fund, the City Hall, the State government, the fans and Flamengo”, stated the candidate .
Another point addressed by Luiz Eduardo Baptista was his opposition to the purchase of Leixões, a second division club in Portugal. The CRF is in negotiations to acquire the Portuguese team with the aim of strengthening the club's internationalization, but BAP was vehemently against the idea.
“Flamengo gains absolutely nothing from this. It's a waste of time and energy, a terrible idea for the moment the club is going through. If I am elected, at whatever stage this project is at, it will be immediately cancelled”, he declared.
The election to choose the club's new president will take place in December and will define who will lead Flamengo for the next three years. BAP is one of the strong names in the electoral race and seeks to implement a modernization project, focusing on the club's infrastructure and finances.
