In "Charla Podcast", Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as BAP, made a critical analysis of Rodolfo Landim's management at Flamengo, stating that there was a "relaxation in professionalization" during the club president's second term. According to BAP, while Landim's first term was marked by challenges such as the Ninho do Urubu tragedy and the COVID-19 pandemic, his second term should have been a period of adjustments and improvements, which did not occur.
BAP highlighted a take off< /b> between discourse and practice in Landim's second administration. In the first term, the difficulties faced by the club justified some failures, but in the second term, an evolution was expected that did not happen. "In the second term, the discourse and practice began to detach. If in the first term you had the considerations of the Ninho tragedy and the pandemic, which were really factors that affected the club emotionally and financially, in the second term we could have done adjustments", said BAP.
FLAMENGO HAS NEW ACTIONS AFTER THE ELECTIONS
He compared the club's situation to that of an athlete who, after breaking all records, begins to relax in training and lose performance. "As we gain a lot in the first term, in my opinion we relax in professionalization. Professionalization is left behind. You know that athlete who breaks all the records? There comes a time when he says 'I'm alone on the track, maybe I don't even need to I'm going to train every other day, I'm not going to listen to my coach anymore, I'm great' And then you start to fall", he explained.
One of the critical points raised by BAP was the foul of strategic planning in Landim's second term. He mentioned the departure of Dorival Júnior and the sale of João Gomes as examples of poorly planned decisions that affected the team's performance. "On the videotape, everyone is a genius. Looking at professionalism, it's hard to say. But about planning and lack of planning, without a shadow of a doubt. We knew when the World Cup would be. We knew, nine months before, that João Gomes would be sold. And João Gomes was a fundamental piece of structural balance in the 2022 team", commented BAP.

Mengão will have to deal with the absence of Nicolás De La Cruz for another important game.

During the press conference, Tite revealed that, after a recent training session, he asked Nicolás De La Cruz about the possibility of playing for at least 20 minutes in the match against Vasco, but the player, smiling, indicated that was not in condition. “The physical department was categorical in stating that he was not fit, even if he felt good", commented the coach. Tite also reinforced that he hopes to be able to count on the athlete on Thursday, but there is still no guarantee that this will be possible.
Nicolás De La Cruz has been sidelined since suffering a muscle injury to his right thigh in the game against Bahia, valid for the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil. Since then, the midfielder was absent from the team in the matches against Corinthians, in the second game of the same competition, and in the Rio derby. and expectations for his return increase as the calendar narrows.

With these absences, coach Tite will have to adjust the team to maintain performance and continue in search of victories in the competitions that the club still competes in.

Alex Sandro, one of Mengão's new reinforcements, lamented the team's relaxation at the end of the game, which culminated in Vasco's equalizer in the 42nd minute of the second half . “It was a pleasure to play in a packed Maracanã and play in a classic. However, we relax in the end, that is the truth. We should have kept possession more and been better organized. Football only ends when the referee blows the whistle. Let's learn from this and avoid the same mistakes in the next games", commented the full-back in the mixed area of the stadium.
With the suspension of Ayrton Lucas, who served a suspension due to the accumulation of yellow cards, Tite selected Alex Sandro as a starter.

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.
