Bap’s blunt outburst lays bare Flamengo’s season plight | OneFootball

Bap emphasized that Flamengo is being built to win everything possible

Flamengo has the highest revenue in football in the Americas and has become the leading powerhouse across the three continents. As a result, the Most Beloved has built one of the strongest squads and is now competing for every possible title. Thus, Bap confirmed that the club will always be at that level.

“I work every day at Flamengo so that Flamengo wins the whole damn thing. Everything,” said Luiz Eduardo Baptista. The Rubro-Negro president gave an interview to FlamengoTV this Friday (27), the official channel of the Most Beloved.

— I can separate Bap the fan from Bap the executive. That was developed over time. Where does that hit the most? In the titles Flamengo wins: I feel them later than everyone else. It’s like I have a delay. It takes me longer to enjoy the achievements — he concluded.

WHAT IS THE SITUATION OF BAP’S FLAMENGO?

Luiz Eduardo Baptista had a positive and trophy-filled first year in charge of Flamengo. That is because the Rubro-Negro team won the Campeonato Carioca, the Brasileirão, and the Copa Libertadores last season.

However, in 2026, Flamengo saw a drop in form. So far, the club has fired coach Filipe Luís and finished as runner-up in the Supercopa do Brasil and the Recopa Sudamericana. However, now under Leonardo Jardim, they beat Fluminense in the Campeonato Carioca final.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO STILL COMPETING FOR IN 2026?

Despite already having played in three competitions, Flamengo still has a packed schedule in 2026. That is because the team led by Leonardo Jardim is still competing in the Brazilian Championship, the Copa do Brasil, and the Libertadores.
