Reporter revives spat with Flamengo president who called her “big-nosed” | OneFootball

Renata Mendonça reported on the quality of the Flamengo women's soccer team's facilities

Journalist Renata Mendonça once again criticized the president of Flamengo on Monday (23). This is because the reporter has not forgotten that Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as Bap, called her "big-nosed" in 2025 and pointed out the sexism during a TV Brasil program.

— He didn't attack my information; he attacked my appearance. If I were a man, the president wouldn't make that comment. That's where we see the disdain for women, the sexism -, highlighted Renata Mendonça.

What information did Renata Mendonça bring?

With a mocking tone, the professional published a video in October last year about the training facilities of the Flamengo women's soccer team. In the footage, it's evident that the locker room needs maintenance, with broken and dirty floors.

How did Bap respond?

— The big-nosed woman from Globo who keeps badmouthing us and everything else, about soccer, which doesn't promote (the women's team)… makes you want to say: ‘Girl, convince the company to put in 10 million, 20 million a year in broadcasting rights, and things will get better’ -, highlighted Bap in a meeting of the Deliberative Council in December.

Renata's report even irritated Zico. This is because the journalist mentioned the CFZ facilities, which lacked water. Therefore, the greatest idol in Flamengo's history asked the reporter to return to the club to witness how it had been a unique case.

How is Flamengo's women's soccer team doing?

At the Luso-Brasileiro Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Flamengo drew 1-1 with Cruzeiro in the Women's Brasileirão. The team from Minas Gerais opened the scoring, but Mengão equalized with Mariana. Thus, the Most Beloved remains unbeaten in the competition, with two wins and two draws.
