Flamengo is preparing for the construction of its new stadium. The dream of having an arena to call your own became closer after the purchase of the Gasologista land, in the port region of Rio de Janeiro. The club's President, Rodolfo Landim, wrote an article in the space provided by publicist Washington Olivetto in his column in the newspaper 'O Globo'. Football council member Diogo Lemos endorsed the red-black president's words on social media.
The counselor's publication sparked a debate between Diogo Lemos and the journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira
a>. In response to Lemos' original post, Mauro Cezar questioned the lack of concrete information on the part of the club regarding the stadium project and how Flamengo intends to raise resources to finance a project with such a level of importance and cost to the club's coffers.
Diogo Lemos then responded to the journalist with a long message, where he tried to resolve some of the questions frequently asked by red and black people. The advisor stated that the club hired a consultancy to carry out a Technical and Economic Feasibility Study (EVTE) and that this was presented to the city of Rio de Janeiro and was what convinced the city's executive. Lemos also guaranteed that a completed stadium project could cost up to 5% of the final value of the project.
On the financial issue, Diogo reaffirmed the position of selling the Cepacs (Certificate of Additional Construction Potential) of the stadium's land. Gávea and guaranteed that they can raise R$600 million for the stadium project. Additionally, he cited revenue from Naming Rights, when a company puts its name in an arena for marketing purposes. Mauro Cezar mentioned that these are paid in the long term, but Diogo Lemos states that Flamengo can request an advance of amounts through a financial operation with costs (a bank loan using the money receivable as guarantees).
Finally, Mauro Cezar questioned the lack of a detailed study by the club to prove that the proposals referred to by the counselor are valid and safe and, to exemplify his point, he asked how Flamengo estimated the value of R$600 million for the sale of Cepacs' land Gavea. The journalist stated that he was in favor of building the red-black stadium, but not at the expense of Mais Querido's financial health.

A journalist guarantees that the way the media treats Mengão is always in an exalted tone, which has left the fans 'spoiled'

This Tuesday (16), journalist André Rizek participated in the Charla Podcast and once again gained prominence on social media when talking about Flamengo. Questioned by Bruno Cantarelli about the way the press treats the club , the SporTV presenter pointed out what he considers a “bad habit” of the red-black fan.
André Rizek: "Flamengo has a noble treatment"
According to Rizek, over the years, the media has created a culture in which the spotlight focuses on Flamengo , while rivals with similar achievements don't receive the same recognition. This behavior, he says, has accustomed fans to always expecting "noble treatment."
"When I came to live in Rio de Janeiro in 2010, my first shock was the media coverage. The first thing I noticed was that Flamengo gets a noble treatment. For example, if Flamengo wins the Guanabara Cup: 'Guanabara belongs to Mengão!' Then Botafogo wins the State Championship: 'Botafogo wins an empty State Championship.' Wait, something's different," said the journalist.
Rizek also cited recent examples to illustrate his point. According to him, any praise given to players from other clubs invariably generates comparisons with Flamengo , as when he praised Jhon Arias when he was still a Fluminense player.
"I said that Jhon Arias was, in my opinion, the best and most complete player active in Brazil. 'But what about Arrasca?' I wasn't talking about Flamengo, I was talking about Arias. You can't praise anything outside of Flamengo. A media culture has been created in Brazil that says: 'To Flamengo, everything; to others, beatings, mockery, belittling, and disrespect.' Flamengo is the most popular club in Brazil, a very powerful brand . But the others also need to be treated with respect," he added.
Despite the criticism, it's worth noting that part of this impact also stems from the engagement of rival fans, a phenomenon dubbed "Flacentrism" by the nation. Since 2019, any prominent team in Brazilian football has been compared to Jorge Jesus' historic team , such as Botafogo in 2024 or Abel Ferreira's Palmeiras. The same goes for players: every prominent number 10 in the country ends up being measured against Arrascaeta.
Because of its successful history and the strength of its fans, Flamengo tends to maintain a privileged position in the media . However, how this prominence is constructed is also influenced by the behavior of fans of other teams.
