Flamengo on another level: club president highlights huge gulf | OneFootball

Fábio Mota states that Flamengo's shirt sales are equivalent to two years of Vitória's budget

As Bruno Henrique once said, Flamengo is on another level. The striker's phrase was said six years ago, but it is still repeated today. This is because the president of Vitória paraphrased BH27 and pointed out the Most Beloved at the top of the Brazilian elite.

— Flamengo is another world, another level, what Flamengo sells in shirts is equivalent to two years of Vitória's budget. Brazilian football is Flamengo and the rest -, stated the director Fábio Mota during his participation in the BarFC podcast.

Is this the first time Mota talks about Flamengo?

The president of Vitória recently attacked Flamengo. This is because Fábio Mota was outraged with the Carioca, which had blocked the income money of the Libra clubs, an organization created to enhance revenues.

— Today, 40% of the money is divided equally among all clubs. 30% is by audience and 30% by performance in the championship. Flamengo is managing to have the other 60% consider pay-per-view. If this prospers, Vitória loses R$ 8 million per year with this change in criteria -, stated Mota at the time.

What is the scenario for Flamengo and Vitória?

While the Most Beloved is a finalist in the Libertadores and fighting for the Brasileirão, Vitória has just been promoted to Serie A and is fighting not to return to B. The Carioca Rubro-Negro even thrashed the Bahia team 8-0 in the Brazilian Championship.

What is Flamengo's next match?

At the top tier of Brazilian football, the Rubro-Negro faces Fluminense this Wednesday (19). The Fla-Flu takes place from 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 34th round of the Brasileirão.
