Vasco president makes grave allegations and insults Flamengo's Bap | OneFootball

Pedrinho, Vasco’s president, was firm against Flamengo president Bap

Representatives of Brazil’s main clubs met this Monday (06) to discuss the teams’ unity and the possible creation of a league, in a meeting at the CBF. However, not everything was ‘roses.’ Vasco president Pedrinho raised his tone and blasted Luiz Eduardo Baptista, Bap, the head of Flamengo.

— Recently, the president of Flamengo—I’m talking about the person, not the institution—spoke several times, with his arrogance and conceit, in a tone I do not like. But I waited and listened quietly to speak at some point. When I take out a loan with Crefisa, and the loan is made because the CDI was lower, his concern was not the loan, but he implied that I took out the loan on the day I lost 3-0 to Palmeiras —, Pedrinho began.

— So he is casting doubt on my character, the character of my coach, and the character of the squad. So do I have to go to my coach and say that we have to lose? Does my coach have to be a son of a bitch and tell the players, who have no character, that we have to lose because I took out a loan from a company that lives off loans? —, he added.

WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?

On October 1, 2025, Vasco faced Palmeiras at Allianz Parque. On that occasion, the São Paulo side was battling for the Brasileirão title point by point with Flamengo. So the Rio side were easy prey and suffered a 3-0 defeat. Bap and Flamengo fans were irritated by their rival’s passiveness on the day the aforementioned loan took place.

PALMEIRAS-VASCO ALLIANCE?

Another issue that has been bothering Brazil’s top teams is the matter of club ownership. That is because Vasco is close to becoming a SAF of businessman Marcos Lamacchia, son of one of Crefisa’s owners, a financial institution that has Leila Pereira, Palmeiras’ president, as a partner. Therefore, the situation would become a conflict of interest.
