“Moron”: ex-Flamengo president blasts Bap, backs Vasco chief | OneFootball

Márcio Braga believes Bap should not fight with Vasco’s Pedrinho

Called “dishonest,” “arrogant,” “overbearing,” “conceited,” and “hypocritical” by Pedrinho, Vasco’s president, Flamengo president Luiz Eduardo Baptista received another insult. This time from Márcio Braga, a former Mengão executive. In a WhatsApp group that brings together members of the club’s Board of Directors, the former official said Bap is “mentally deficient.”

— First of all, for the Flamengo president to fight with the Vasco president is stupid. It leads nowhere. I lived for years with Eurico Miranda. He was an intelligent person, handled Vasco da Gama’s interests, and was elected federal deputy twice thanks to his fights with Flamengo. But Flamengo didn’t fight with him. You can’t fight with the one who is our best customer —, Braga said, in a provocative tone.

— I wouldn’t argue with Pedrinho, who is trying to rebuild Vasco. He is trying to get out of a highly complex situation, in which Vasco became a SAF, and the SAF went bankrupt. I think Flamengo should help Vasco get out of this situation. Why? Because Vasco is Flamengo’s best customer. It’s the Clássico of the Millions, it fills the Maracanã rain or shine —, Braga added in an interview with ‘O Globo’.

— Vasco used to be the Expresso da Vitória. Flamengo went seven years without beating Vasco. That stuck in my throat. I became Flamengo president, I didn’t fight with Vasco, and Vasco then went seven years without beating Flamengo. I paid them back for every single year. We were champions every year over them. Vasco got tired of being Flamengo’s runner-up —, he concluded.

IN SHORT, WHY DID PEDRINHO INSULT BAP?

The fight between Pedrinho and Bap is related to Flamengo president’s moves against the sale of Vasco to the stepson of Leila Pereira, Palmeiras president. Flamengo believes this is illegal and has alleged a conflict of interest. Furious, Pedrinho insulted Bap, who then sued the Vasco president.
