"I don't have There is no doubt that if we don't elect Dunshee, this stadium won't come out", stated Landim, in an emphatic tone, referring to the long-awaited project for Flamengo's own stadium. The phrase reflects the trust that Landim places in Dunshee as a central figure to continue his work and fulfill one of the greatest desires of the red and black fans.
Dunshee, who gained prominence throughout Landim's management, is considered the main bet to assume the presidency of Flamengo in the next elections. In addition to his work in the club's legal area, Dunshee played an important role in crucial moments of the current administration, consolidating its position as a strong name for succession. Landim's speech not only reinforces this perspective, but also highlights the stadium project, which has been on the club's and fans' agenda for years.
STADIUM SHOULD OR NOT LEAVE
A Building its own stadium is a long-standing desire of Flamengo and its immense fans. With Maracanã facing administrative challenges and being shared with other clubs, the idea of having an exclusive stadium for Flamengo has always gained strength. However, bureaucratic and financial issues are obstacles that need to be overcome. It is in this context that Landim sees Dunshee as the ideal person to lead the project forward, if he is elected. The lack of support for this continuity, in the current president's view, could put the realization of the dream at risk.
The succession of Landim, who has already announced that he does not intend to seek a new mandate, promises to be one of the most fierce elections in Flamengo's recent history. The internal dispute at the club is always intense, with different political groups seeking to direct the future of the institution. However, with Landim's statement, it is clear that he will seek to join forces around Dunshee, who, in addition to legal experience, will need to show the ability to lead the club in other areas, especially football, which is always the center of attention.
OLD DREAM OF LANDIM MANAGEMENT
The stadium itself is seen as a watershed in Flamengo's history. For Landim, there is no doubt that the completion of this project will be a fundamental milestone for the club's financial and institutional future. The idea of depending less on Maracanã, which is still managed by the state government, reinforces the need for o Flamengo will have greater autonomy, both in terms of revenue and in the organization of its games. And for this to happen, the continuity of your group in leading the club is seen as essential.
