“I am happy with Sampaoli, he is qualified. Which coach who played for Brazil was named best coach in the world? Only Sampaoli. He has his own way of coaching, his style of play is consistent with Flamengo, he plays on “L ‘opponent. We are happy and confident in his work,” Landim said in the program CNN Esportes S/A, which will air next Sunday.
Gabriel Barbosa is one of the greatest idols in the history of the Rio club and, in a recent poll carried out on the occasion of the inauguration of the Flamengo museum on who the greatest idol is, the athlete is second only to Zico. The president said he broke the news to Gabigol and revealed a conversation about the forward’s future.
“I spoke to him on his birthday and told him that he has an advantage because he is only 27 years old and has many years ahead of him. Whether he increases this possibility of becoming Flamengo’s greatest idol will only depend on his desire to do it.” continue at the club and strive to continue playing here,” Landim said.
The Flamengo president also spoke about the club’s attention for the Maracanã and a possible purchase of the stadium.
“When we received it, even though it was new, it was destroyed. We went in there and are doing a good job. If one day the State Government understands that it has to sell, we will evaluate it. We understand that the State’s interest is not “for manage the Maracanã. So the route is a 20-year public concession. At the end of this we will be able to make a proposal,” she commented.
Also a topic discussed was Libra, which aims to have participating clubs organize their own league. Currently the responsibility lies with the CBF.
“In the English league, the big clubs have started the process. In Libra, it has been no different. What I see as the most likely scenario is a collective negotiation of the rights. The big clubs are organizing a competitive process of selling television rights for create the “The embryo of this championship. What is most valuable is broadcasting the big clubs, that’s what gives them an audience,” said Landim, who is one of Libra’s leaders.

“We will play, there are four games of difference. Flamengo has already made up for other big differences. Clubs have ups and downs. Let’s not throw in the towel. To say that Flamengo has no chance is to hand the title to Botafogo. Botafogo has built deservedly the advantage, but I think we can look for it”, he concluded.
Flamengo returns to the field next Sunday, when they host San Paolo, at the Maracanã, for the first match of the Copa do Brasil final.
