On Thursday night (14), there was a meeting of Flamengo's Deliberative Council (CoDe) at the club's headquarters, in Gávea. The Councilors voted on three proposals for statutory amendments, but one specific request was the cause of much confusion. In an interview with Coluna do Fla, Cacau Cotta, current director of external relations at Rubro Negro, detailed the meeting.


Cacau Cotta says that the first amendment was approved unanimously, the second vote was rejected as it was the amendment of term extension, in the third and final vote, when it came to public positions, there was great confusion and people did not understand who was voting for or against.


"In the first vote, Financial Planning ( triennial or quadrennial) was approved unanimously, and Flamengo only benefits from that. In the second vote, the general vice-president (Rodrigo Dunshee) voted in favor of 3+3 years, and Landim himself said he no longer wanted one year for him, so it was rejected (the proposal for a single four-year term). But in the last vote, when it came to public positions, there was a lot of confusion, a lack of respect, and people didn't understand who was voting for or against. So, there was no winner or loser", Cacau told the Coluna do Fla report.


The president of Flamengo's Deliberative Council, Antônio Alcides, went so far as to declare the result that rejected the proposed amendment to veto politicians, but the Councilors from Landim's political group and the opposition got excited and took the floor at the meeting. Antônio even tried to redo the election to have more clarity in the count, but the session was already incomplete. The counselor heard many shouts of "dumb", "dumb". Soon the session was suspended, and the vote will be rescheduled.

"There was so much shouting, there was so much confusion in this political part, because it was an extremely political vote, which had nothing to do with Flamengo [...] What is not part of it is the confusion. With the confusion, the vote was suspended. That's what I heard from President Alcides, that's what I could hear in the face of all the shouting, with all the lack of respect", said Cacau, before complete:


"He (Alcides) was called “stupid”, as if he were a football coach, by the opposition. There was a lot of excitement, things were not clear […] When the political part arrives This is where there is the big fight, because there are personal interests", explained Cacau Cotta to Coluna do Fla.

There were three votes on proposals for amendments. The first, on the creation of a three-year financial plan, was approved, and the next administration will already have to practice it. The second, which would increase the term of office from three to four years and eliminate re-election, was rejected by a large number of councilors. However, the election to suggest a veto to politicians was annulled and will be rescheduled.

Still unsure whether they will have Lucas Paquetá until the end of the season , West Ham won their first victory in the Premier League this Sunday (31) . In the third round of the competition, the team beat Nottingham Forest away from home 3-0, in a match marked by efficiency in the final minutes.


OPPONENT DOMINATION, WEST HAM EFFICIENCY


Despite the heavy score, West Ham struggled again. Controlled by Nottingham Forest for much of the match, the London team benefited from their rival's inability to finish plays . When they had the opportunity, they were decisive.


All three goals came in the final six minutes. Bowen opened the scoring, and the home side completely lost their way. Lucas Paquetá then doubled the lead with a penalty , and Callum Wilson sealed the victory, securing the Hammers' first win of the season.

PAQUETÁ MARKS AND SENDS A MESSAGE IN THE CELEBRATION


During the celebration, Paquetá made a gesture of connection with his hand and then feigned a refusal. He then kissed the West Ham crest. This gesture was interpreted as a response to rumors of a possible transfer to Aston Villa , a club that had expressed interest in the Brazilian.

HOW MUCH WILL FLAMENGO PROFIT FROM THE SALE?

Having nurtured the player in its youth academy, Flamengo is entitled to approximately 4% of the total value of each international transfer for Paquetá . Based on the £47 million offer, the Rio de Janeiro club stands to receive approximately £1.88 million (R$13.8 million) at the current exchange rate.
