In an election year, behind the scenes of Flamengo are boiling. This last Thursday (1), the club's vice-president of communication between 2015 and 2018, Antonio Tabet, criticized the stance of the current red-black directors in celebrating the victory in the auction to purchase the Gasologista land, where the stadium will be built Dearest. However, Cacau Cotta, current director of external relations, countered.




SEE THE DIALOGUE:< b>TABET


“Rodrigo Dunshee's stance next to Landim makes others feel very ashamed. If it weren't comical, it would make you depressed, it's so sad. It looks like a pet dressed like its owner. That stupid nephew wanting to appear in the adult photo. All awkward, poor thing. He doesn't know where he's looking, what face he's making, whether he's giving a thumbs up or a “V” for victory. Then he stumbles... Look... it's sad. And there are those who think he could be president of Flamengo. Frankly…”.

COCOA


“While we work and achieve, your envy and repression is notorious and transparent! Keep living your life as a clown and we will continue working for the Flamengo institution, which is above everything and everyone!”.

TABET

“Do you think you offend an actor by calling him? the clown one? You're mistaken. I would be offended if you called me ignorant, sycophantic, incompetent, nepotistic or someone who uses the club as a springboard for political life, overpricing scores or slush funds. But that's not our case, is it? And another: the conversation here is about your boss (Dunshee). Let him answer for himself. Just ask him not to make the wrong Twitter account if he has more than one.”

REASON FOR THE FIGHT

On social media, Tabet posted a link to a video of the president of Mais Querido, where he talked to organized fans about purchasing the land. Alongside the president were Rodrigo Dunshee (legal vice), Marcos Braz (VP of football) and Diogo Lemos (VP ​​of the presidential office). Thus, Tabet ridicules Dunshee's stance in the crowd.

Philadelphia 76ers star center Joel Embiid, MVP of the 2022/23 NBA season, once again demonstrated his affection for Flamengo . Last Thursday (21), the Cameroonian player was spotted in an official club store, in Cabo Frio (RJ) , where he made a point of purchasing several red-black products.


A SURPRISING VISIT


Although unusual, Embiid's presence in the Lakes Region has a reason. Married to Brazilian model Anne de Paula, the athlete often visits the city, where his father-in-law lives, during the holidays. This time, he took the opportunity to explore the "Nação Rubro-Negra" store and expand his Flamengo memorabilia collection.


ENTHUSIASM IN THE STORE

The star's arrival took everyone by surprise and caused great excitement among the employees. Salesman Kauan said he was so nervous when he met the player that he forgot to remove the alarm from a piece of furniture, creating an unusual moment: " His father-in-law even joked with me afterward. It was an unforgettable experience ," he revealed.


GENEROUS SHOPPING

Embiid didn't hold back. He brought jerseys for himself, his wife, his father-in-law, and his son , as well as accessories like shorts and thermoses. The visit even helped meet the store's sales goals. The center also obliged some fans and store owners by agreeing to take photos with them.

RELATIONSHIP WITH FLAMENGO

Embiid's connection with Flamengo isn't new. In 2023, during an interview with the NBA Freestyle program, he revealed that he started supporting Flamengo because of his wife's family: " Actually, I'm a Flamengo fan because my girlfriend's father is a fan . Since we started dating, I've been following the team," he said.

MEETING WITH PLAYERS

In January 2024, when Flamengo held a preseason training camp in Philadelphia, Embiid met Léo Pereira and Matheus Gonçalves . The defender even posted a photo with the star: " Nice to meet you, brother ." Thus, the relationship between Joel Embiid and Flamengo continues to grow, uniting basketball and soccer in a connection that already transcends borders.
