Gávea walls graffitied after Flamengo loss, Bap and Lino targeted | OneFootball

What Did the Graffiti on the Gávea Walls Say?

Hours after Flamengo’s defeat to Bahia this Sunday (05) in the Brasileirão, fans spray-painted the walls of the club’s headquarters in Gávea. The messages targeted president Luiz Eduardo Baptista, better known as Bap, and forward Samuel Lino.

The graffiti included phrases such as “BAP OMISSO!” (“BAP OMISSIVE!”) and “$.LINO PELADEIRO!” (“$.LINO AMATEUR!”), highlighting the fans’ outrage at the forward’s performance and their dissatisfaction with the club president. The tone of the protests was one of direct criticism.

WHY ARE THE FANS DISSATISFIED?

Right after the final whistle in Salvador, the fans’ dissatisfaction intensified. Losing the lead, combined with inconsistent performances, increased the pressure on the board and the squad.

As a result, criticism spread across social media and also reached the walls of the club’s headquarters. The protest exposed the growing rift between the fans and the internal environment at Flamengo.

Players who arrived as supposed solutions are now facing constant questioning. This is the case with Samuel Lino, who missed a clear goal-scoring chance when one-on-one with goalkeeper Ronaldo, in the play that preceded Bahia’s winning goal.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S POSITION IN THE TABLE?

With the defeat to Bahia, Flamengo lost the lead in the Brasileirão. Although they have 55 points, the same as Palmeiras, the team is in second place because their São Paulo rivals have one more win.

WILL FLAMENGO HAVE TIME TO RECOVER?

Now, Flamengo will have 10 days until their next match. Filipe Luís’s team will only return to the field on October 15, against Botafogo, at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Nilton Santos Stadium.

During this period, the coaching staff will seek to reorganize the team, correct recent mistakes, and prepare the squad for the final stretch of the season. The Rio derby will be important not only for the standings but also psychologically.

Finally, with the league becoming increasingly competitive, the team will need consistency in the coming rounds to stay in the title race.
