Galinho also wants the club to continue playing games at Maracanã
|
Rodolfo Landim, president of Flamengo, continues to have constant meetings in order to facilitate the purchase of the Gasologista land to begin the construction project for the Mais Querido stadium. The fans' request is a place with space for 70,000, even more than 100. An idol of the nation and of the club's history, Zico mentions the possibility of a stadium just for small games.
Galho also mentions that the
href="https://gazetadourubu.com/noticia/comentarista-alerta-proximos-adversarios-do-flamengo-na-libertadoressera-um-tormento" target="_blank">Mais Querido should continue sending the main games at Maracanã. However, it is worth remembering that the Federation keeps most of the profit and that this cannot happen. Therefore, the construction of a new Rubro-Negro stadium would be important to retain a large part of the profit.
“The stadium makes it easier to raise much more for you. Maracanã had to exist for these big games. Flamengo has games, sometimes, that you can make a lot more profit from with an audience of 30, 40 thousand people, small games, that you can facilitate with those who, today, don't have the possibility to go. You can open a place with more affordable tickets and you will have something in the box area for certain games, where you can raise more”, says Zico, in an interview with journalist João Guilherme.
CALDEIRÃO PARA 40 A THOUSAND PEOPLEIn addition, Zico also says that Flamengocould build a stadium for 40 thousand fans that would create a melting pot, compared to matches for 40 thousand at Maracanã.
“Not at Maracanã , the second entity to raise the most is Flamengo. First is the federation. The federation can never raise more than the clubs. But I think Flamengo should have a stadium for 40 thousand people. At Maracanã, you put 40 thousand people, but there isn't that cauldron that is necessary”, he comments.
CRITICISM OF SHOWS AT MARACANÃZico also criticized the shows that are held at Maracanã . He emphasizes that this measure is very harmful to the field, remembering the conditions that Fla had to play in at the beginning of the season.
“They want to put on a show there, and this disrupts the pitch. Where there was the stage for Paul McCartney and Ivete, there in the goal, you see that there is no way, there it is made for playing football. That's why they created the implementation of synthetic grass, but it's not supporting it”, says Zico before concluding:
“The fans are choosing games, because it's not easy to get a little money every three days. Sometimes you are traveling and the plane is full (to go to Maracanã). Flamengo has many ways to raise money in other ways, if you have your stadium, everything goes to you. Maracanã will suffer a lot with Flamengo's departure, but there are several stadiums in the world that are little used. Wembley, for example”, he concludes.
The clubs have their new direction in history

On Monday (2), a new commission was formed with the aim of discussing the implementation of Financial Fair Play in Brazil. The group is made up of clubs such as Flamengo and Palmeiras, who are looking for ways to adapt the rule to the particularities of national football. Leila Pereira, president of Palmeiras, was one of the strongest voices in the discussion. In a blunt statement, she called for more responsibility from club boards in financial management. Pereira highlighted that Financial Fair Play should not be seen just as a rule to be complied with, but as an essential tool to guarantee the sustainability of teams.
Financial Fair Play, created by UEFA, aims to control club spending and ensure that they do not spend more than they earn, promoting more balanced financial management. The idea is to prevent clubs from taking on excessive debt and guarantee a fairer level of competition between teams. The formation of the commission with Flamengo, Palmeiras and other clubs signals a significant step in the attempt to implement these rules more effectively in Brazil. The proposal is to discuss and adjust the rule so that it better fits the reality of Brazilian clubs, which face unique financial challenges.
FLAMENGO HAS "EYES OPEN"The main objective of commission is to establish guidelines that help control club spending without harming growth and investment in football. The intention is to create a balance between the need for investment to improve the teams and the obligation to maintain the financial health of the clubs.
Leila Pereira, in her statement, made an appeal for club boards to be more responsible and transparent in their management. She highlighted that compliance with financial rules must be a priority for all clubs and that it is essential that everyone is committed to more responsible management.

In an interview with journalist Samuel Venâncio, on YouTube, Mattos revealed his understanding of the situation and praised the level of engagement of Flamengo fans.
Alexandre Mattos commented on the impressive volume of sales of Flamengo shirts, highlighting the difference compared to other clubs. "When Palmeiras were Brazilian champions, the club sold 600 thousand pieces, which was a record. Guess how many pieces Flamengo sells per year?

Mattos emphasized the magnitude of Flamengo in the sports uniforms market , underestimating the difference in volume compared to other teams. "It's a different quantity, another reality. The magnitude of the clubs, for me, is the same. But the exposure and media numbers are different. Two million shirts is a very significant number", highlighted the CEO.

"The other day, at the Deliberative Council meeting, (Rodrigo) Tostes came close to me and he said that Flamengo will not be able to handle this. Look at the danger we are experiencing. All of this, have no doubt about what I am saying, a situation is being prepared that will make Flamengo unviable for the construction of the stadium and the transformation of the club into a club. SAF. That's what they want, but Maurício won't let that happen", added the former president.
