Luiz Eduardo Baptista is competing for the position of president of the Rubro-Negro with Rodrigo Dunshee and Maurício Gomes de Mattos; The elections will be held on December 9th
In the debate between Flamengo’s presidential candidates, which took place this Monday (18), the titles won in recent years were used as arguments by both groups: situation and opposition. While on the one hand Rodrigo Dunshee, supported by Rodolfo Landim, praises the 13 cups won during his management, candidate Luiz Eduardo Baptista belittles the feat. For BAP, Rubro-Negro only won trophies because they had more money than their competitors.
“We came out of two Libertadores badly and are you talking about the titles we won? We won them because we had a lot more money than everyone else. Everyone learned and evolved. If Flamengo doesn’t evolve, nothing will happen and we will get worse,” he said. called BAP.
“The father of the councilor is the current president. As for the councilors who you say are amateurs, it is in the statute. We need a board of directors, who are amateurs. What I intend is to create an advisory committee, as in a large company, and these people will have no influence on a day-to-day basis. Anyone who claims that we have a modern structure, like European clubs, is a bad joke, a blatant lie from the 30 clubs. planet with a vice president amateur who deals with football, this amateur way of not leaving the boy alone”, he added.
Brasileirão as a priority
In fact, Bap also spoke about clarifying that the Brasileirão must be Flamengo’s sporting priority and defined the Copa do Brasil as a “detail”. The candidate, in fact, once again criticized the council’s planning for the current season.
“We have to win, dominate the game, play well, we have to win. Flamengo doesn’t have a football project. They move forward, send people away, hire more players, spend a fortune. We understand that very clear sporting objectives are needed. Then, among the elected, we will say very clearly that the Brazilian Championship is a priority, that we will seek hegemony in South America, that the Brazilian Cup is just a detail, psychological support, saving the scout and correct use of the window way”, said Bap.
Discussion on SAF at Flamengo
Dunshee claimed that, in Bap’s political group, there were “people who tried to buy Flamengo, earning a high commission to make a SAF”. And in his response the opposition candidate made it clear that he was against the move to club-based companies.
Dunshee also denied being in favor of the change and said: “Flamengo cannot remain in the hands of a single owner.”
Did Flamengo lose R$80 million?
Maurício Gomes de Mattos opened the debate. The lawyer questioned Luiz Eduardo Baptista (Bap) about television rights. The candidate pointed out that Flamengo lost R$80 million and asked for suggestions.
“In the rest of the world, in Mauritius, the Principal’s Law helps clubs in general. In Brazil what happened was a fragmentation of the market. I was not invited to any discussions, despite my expertise in the matter. The current contract says you could get a clean international signal so that Flamengo can sell this product outside of Brazil If this happens, it could generate money for Flamengo in fact, it took away R$80 million from Flamengo in the absence of people experienced in. matter. We have people here who were in the negotiations and felt comfortable with the negotiations, this was approved in the negotiations that I definitely wasn’t present at.
In his rejoinder, Bap, in fact, underlined that he had only been invited to express his opinion on the matter.
“Despite being in the opposition, I was invited to give my opinion on the matter and I communicated important things that guaranteed the surpluses of Flamengo demonstrated by this management. On average, R$ 107 million per year more than what previously predicted. What were these decisions? Flamengo should have had a different contract from the others, it was much bigger and these rights guaranteed, in a certain sense, the discomfort of other clubs. We in fact bet that the market would not grow , from my experience the. Flamengo took a lot of money for my experience”, he underlined.
Lowest prices on Flamengo shirts
“Excellent question. Flamengo has a contract for first-line material with Adidas and the possibility of producing second-line products possibly with Adidas itself or with another manufacturer. This is a political decision, which can and must be implemented to the extent where the club wants to do new business. We will continue with second line products.”
Online votes
“In fact, Flamengo’s statute is an old statute, it’s 32 years old if I’m not mistaken, it comes from a period in which there was no internet, there was absolutely nothing. After all, the intention had been for some time to allow people to vote remotely, remote access for some people. Technology allows this to happen. At Flamengo, this did not happen more profoundly because this Board of Directors did not want it, one day they opposed it and opposed it more Technology allows it. Anyone who is a member and lives abroad should be able to vote.”
