President of Flamengo between 2013 and 2018, Eduardo Bandeira de Melloreturned to talking about the club's elections, which take place at the end of this year. A guest on “Rema TV”, in Porto Velho, Bandeira was adamant in saying that he will only be a candidate if he is “indispensable”, but revealed his desire to participate in another role.
In an interview that aired on the channel from “Rema TV” on Youtube, Eduardo Bandeira de Mello showed confidence in his victory political group in the elections: “My political group will participate in the Flamengo elections and I think they will win. I don’t intend to be the candidate for president, only if that is essential,” he said, before completing.
“I think I’ve already made my contribution. Yes, I want to participate in the next administration, but in some strategic role. The work at Flamengo and the work we did there is not individual work, no one does anything alone. It's a group effort, and our group will come back. I'm sure everything will work out”, he said.
Flamengo's elections will take place in December this year, but the candidates have not yet been defined. After two terms, the current president, Rodolfo Landim, will not be able to run, and everything indicates that he will support Rodrigo Dunshee de Abranches. Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as Bap, should also run for office.
Federal Deputy for Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo Bandeira de Mello was asked about the conciliation between football and politics. The deputy, who divides his time between Brasília and Rio de Janeiro, said that he cannot go to Maracanã as often as he would like, but was firm in saying that he can combine both things.
“It's definitely manageable. Of course, I miss the Maracanã games on Wednesdays, because on Wednesdays I'm always there in the Chamber, there's a session, there's an agenda, so I can't just be at Maracanã. on the weekends. But Brasília is a very friendly city, I really like it, and I've already discovered all the main spots we have there to watch Flamengo's games.”

Flamengo continues its preparations to face Juventude this Sunday (14), in the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. The team's second-highest scorer this season, Pedro is expecting to start as a starter and could be one of the main weapons of Filipe Luís' team.

The season has been full of ups and downs for Pedro.

However, he managed to turn things around and is now Flamengo 's second-highest scorer this year, with 12 goals and five assists.

With Pedro available, Flamengo returns to the field on Sunday (14), at 4 pm (Brasília time), to face Juventude, at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. The Mais Querido seeks the first victory against Jaconero away from home since 1997 , when with an own goal from Rodrigo Silva, managed to come out victorious.
