Rodrigo Landim hits back at Bap over Flamengo stadium and vents: “Lie…” | OneFootball

Rodolfo Landim said Bap lied about the cost of Flamengo’s new stadium

Flamengo’s stadium remains one of the main topics behind the scenes and among the club’s red-and-black supporters. As such, the issue came up again this Thursday (02), when Rodolfo Landim, the club’s former president, criticized the latest remarks made by Bap, the current president, about the cost of building the project.

— The project was budgeted at R$ 1.8 billion, that was the estimated amount. Then they said they hired two companies to prove it would cost R$ 3 billion. That study was never shown again, simply because the cost was R$ 2 billion. It’s a lie repeated 50 times. The normal amount would be R$ 1.8 billion. And, from what we know, that’s what the new study confirmed, and that’s why it was never shown again, because it would prove that rhetoric was false — Rodolfo Landim began in an interview with ‘Charla Podcast’ this Thursday (02).

— This shallow tactic of raising the amount and making it seem like everything would be debt is a way of repeating a lie about something he doesn’t want to do right now. It’s a lie told 100 times to become the truth. The problem is that, during the election, it was said they would continue the project. Once they got there, they had no interest whatsoever — he concluded.

WHAT IS THE CONTEXT OF THE CRITICISM?

In February last year, Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as Bap, said that Flamengo had carried out a study to determine the cost of building the new stadium. In this way, the current president stated that the initially disclosed amount of R$ 1.9 billion was outdated and that the new figures were around R$ 3 billion.

Thus, the amount mentioned by Bap includes expenses across several areas. The figure is due to items such as the land, soil testing, decontamination and grading, foundations, structures, installations, parking, roofing, the pitch, urban development and landscaping, as well as commitments to City Hall.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Meanwhile, Flamengo is focused on its upcoming matches this season. That is because the red-and-black team takes the field this Thursday (02) against Red Bull Bragantino at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), away from home.

In this way, Coluna do Fla will bring all the information about the match, which is worth three points for Flamengo in the Brasileirão. In addition, TV Globo, on free-to-air television, and SporTV, on pay TV, will broadcast the match.
