Rodolfo Landim commented on the attempt by the Flamengo Board to keep him one more year as president of the club. Landim's mandate ends this year (2023) and, according to the plans of advisor José Carlos Peruano, he could assume the position again, instead of running for the elections scheduled for 2024. He asked that the current president of the club could have one more term. For this to happen, an amendment to Article 69 of the statute will be necessary, allowing the president to remain in office for four years instead of three. In an interview with journalist Mauro Cezar, he further explained that he assumed three more years in the presidency of Mengão because of a commitment he established with voters: “and I usually keep my promises”. He doesn't exactly talk about wanting the functions again, in fact the opposite, "I would have to change many things in terms of my family and professional life, but honestly it is completely out of my life plans", he finished.

However, Landim can give in to the extension for the good of the club. Peruano's plan is apparently aimed at preventing a split within the club's management group. In the event of elections next year, the board could be divided into two possible candidates: Rodrigo Dunshee (general and legal vice-president) and Luiz Eduardo Baptista, the BAP (president of the Board of Directors). If things turn out as Rodolfo indicates, the problems involving an election will be even further away.


It is worth remembering that, according to Law 13,155 of 2015, which regulates the Program for Modernization of Management and Fiscal Responsibility of Brazilian Football (PROFUT), only one re-election is allowed for those who adhere to the refinancing. Thus, if Fla chooses to change its status, it will have to 'disconnect' from Profut.

In an interview given after the defeat of Flamengoto Peñarol, 1-0, coach Tite was direct in responding to the boos received by the fans. The statement, marked by a frank tone, exposed the coach's pragmatic vision in relation to demanding fans and the pressure for results. “I respect the fans’ feelings. Of course I feel that (the boos), I'm human”, said Tite, recognizing the fans' frustration in the face of the setback.

Tite's speech reveals that he understands the role of fans as a fundamental part in the context of a club, especially in a team of great expression like Flamengo. By mentioning that the boos affect him as a human being, the coach demonstrates empathy, but does not fail to highlight that the only way to reverse this situation is with achievements on the field. “It can only be reversed in one way”, pointed out the coach.

THE MISTAKE THAT COSTED EXTREMELY DEARLY 

The response reflects the experience of Titein dealing with pressure who follows the command of great teams in Brazilian football. With successful spells at clubs such as Corinthians, Grêmio and the Brazilian national team itself, the coach has a track record that puts him in a position to understand, perhaps like few others, the relationship between performance on the field and fans' expectations. For him, this connection is clear: “Do you know how to win fans? Do you know how I won over the fans of the other clubs I played for? Win an important title”, he declared.

The phrase highlights the centrality of titles in football, especially in mass clubs like Flamengo. In Brazil, the culture of results is intense, and Tite recognizes that fans have a limited tolerance for negative results. Winning titles, for him, is the key to gaining the support of the fans, and anything other than that results in discontent: “If not, bye.”

This last part of Tite's speech summarizes the characteristic impatience of demanding fans like Flamengo. The coach makes it clear that, without obtaining relevant trophies, the relationship with the fans deteriorates quickly. The pressure is constant and is part of the daily life of those who take on the leadership of top teams. Tite seems, however, to be aware of this scenario and how it needs to be faced.

Tite's statement came after a delicate moment for Flamengo. The defeat to Peñarol, at home, in a group stage match of the Copa Libertadores, raised alarm bells for fans and the coaching staff. Flamengo had high expectations for the season, especially after major reinforcements and the arrival of Tite, a coach with wide recognition on the national and international scene.

The pressure on Flamengo is nothing new. The club, which has one of the biggest fans in the world, is known for its high expectations for titles. The expensive squad, made up of renowned players, also increases this demand. Each stumble is widely covered by the media and amplifies the dissatisfaction of part of the fans, who demand immediate results.

CAN IT GO BAD AT THE MOMENT?

The Copa Libertadores, in particular, has a important meaning for Flamengo and its fans. The continental tournament is seen as one of the club's main objectives each season. Any result other than victory can generate dissatisfaction and pressure on the technical committee, as occurred after the setback against Peñarol.

In this context, Tite's speech not only recognizes the fans' dissatisfaction, but also is realistic in relation to what is expected from a club like Flamengo. The demand for titles is part of the package when taking over a club of this size, and the coach seems to be aware of this when he points out that he will only be able to win the support of the fans with significant victories.

During the conversation, Landim was full of praise for the athlete, but avoided giving details about any concrete negotiations.

"Danilo is an excellent player, a member of the Brazilian national team, who is obviously of interest to any team in the world, that's what I can say. We don't make many conjectures about a player before he arrives at the club. But, without a doubt, he is a quality player, and not only Mengão, but any team would like to count on him", stated the red-black president.


Danilo, currently playing for Juventus, has contract until June 2025 and was recently mentioned in speculation involving Mais Querido. However, the board of the Rio club has remained silent about the possible interest in signing the athlete.



DANILO IS A FAN OF RUBRO-NEGRO

In previous interviews, Danilo had already revealed that he has been a Flamengo fan since childhood, a connection that extends throughout his family. "I'm a Flamengo fan, my parents and my brother are too. -o-paqueta" target="_blank">Flamengois one of the biggest clubs in the world, I have many memories of my childhood linked to the club, of historic achievements. Who knows what the future holds", declared the player while still playing for Manchester City.
