Flamengo president on tense mood before Carioca title: “Not even in a cemetery…” | OneFootball

Bap was on the sidelines during the state final between Flamengo and Fluminense

The title of the Campeonato Carioca should bring more tranquility to Flamengo. However, President Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as Bap, states that nothing will change at the club. According to the red-black leader, the Most Beloved is always restless.

— Not even in a red-black cemetery is there peace. At Flamengo, there's no such thing as peace. Flamengo is this effervescent thing, it's permanently in turmoil — stated Bap on Sunday (08) after the title win over Fluminense.

Why should the Carioca bring peace?

After poor performance and two runner-up finishes in two months, Mengão dismissed Filipe Luís and speculated the departure of José Boto. Therefore, there was an expectation that the state championship would end the crisis, but the director says no.

Still during the celebration, Bap stated that the former coach also deserves the champion's medal. This is because Filipe Luís led the team since the fourth round of the Cariocão.

What is Flamengo's next game?

After winning the Carioca, Flamengo returns to focus on the Brasileirão competition. Thus, this Wednesday (11), Leonardo Jardim's team faces Cruzeiro, starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the fifth round of the tournament.

Thus, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the clash between Flamengo and Cruzeiro through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open TV), GE TV (YouTube) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Brasileirão match.
