Bap completa 100 dias de gestão no Flamengo tentando mudar rotas dentro e fora do clube; veja balanço

Article arrow_drop_down

Há 100 dias, Luiz Eduardo Baptista, o Bap, assumiu o mandato de presidente do Flamengo, encerrando seis anos consecutivos de gestão de Rodolfo Landim. A promessa do empresário desde a campanha era instaurar uma gestão profissional, principalmente no que se refere ao departamento de futebol, além de apontar a necessidade de maior sustentabilidade nas finanças do clube, mais transparência nas decisões e a continuidade — com responsabilidade — de projetos sensíveis, como a construção do estádio no terreno do Gasômetro. Completando a marca redonda hoje, Bap já soma os títulos da Supercopa do Brasil e do Carioca, além de alguns episódios que permitem prever como será seu triênio, até 2027.

Profissionalismo

Crítico à atuação de Marcos Braz como vice-presidente de futebol durante a última gestão, Bap teve como primeiro ato a contratação do português José Boto para a função de diretor-técnico. Deixando claro que queria decisões técnicas a partir de então, ele chegou a dar aval para que o português avaliasse a continuidade de Filipe Luís como treinador. Na prática, o presidente tem separado a Gávea do Ninho do Urubu, blindando o departamento ao afastar vice-presidentes e pessoas não essenciais — inclusive ele próprio — do ambiente, para que não interfiram no dia a dia. Boto e Filipe são os responsáveis pelas decisões da equipe, e o presidente apenas referenda suas escolhas.

Contenção de danos financeiros

Durante a apresentação do balanço do último ano, Bap externou a preocupação com o aumento exponencial da dívida do Flamengo, de R$ 48 milhões em 2023 para R$ 327 milhões em 2024. Consciente de que o fluxo de caixa estaria comprometido após as pesadas contratações feitas na última temporada e a compra do terreno do Gasômetro, o novo presidente optou por conter danos. A postura ficou clara com as poucas contratações realizadas — apenas Danilo e Juninho chegaram no início do ano — e com as saídas que deram fôlego, como a venda do zagueiro Fabrício Bruno e o empréstimo do argentino Carlos Alcaraz. Ao mesmo tempo, as renovações com ídolos vêm sendo prioridade, sendo a de Gerson — até 2030 — a mais recente.

Até agora, a atitude de Bap em relação à construção do estádio do Flamengo tem sido oposta ao otimismo demonstrado pela gestão anterior, que prometia a inauguração até 2029. Sem se declarar contrário ao projeto, o presidente externou a preocupação de que este ainda não conta sequer com um estudo de viabilidade financeira, e vem adiando a assinatura definitiva. Pensando cada passo com cautela, Bap chega a considerar 2031 como uma meta plausível para a entrega da sonhada arena.

Polêmicas

Indicando ter um estilo tão ou mais empresarial e negociador que o de Landim, Bap ainda não demonstrou preocupação em adotar uma gestão exatamente simpática. Algumas demissões em massa foram promovidas no clube, classificadas como “reestruturação estratégica”, e atingiram setores como o futebol de base e o departamento médico. No extracampo, ele também chamou atenção ao fazer do Flamengo o único clube da Libra a se recusar a assinar o manifesto antirracista em protesto contra a Conmebol — um episódio que também expôs divisões internas no grupo, sobretudo em relação aos valores negociados antes de sua posse.

Em busca de mudança

O contrato firmado com a Libra durante a gestão de Landim se tornou alvo de críticas por parte de Bap, que considera que o Flamengo sofreu um prejuízo milionário — estimado em R$ 100 milhões já em 2024. “Estimo que o clube perdeu algo em torno de 450 a 500 milhões de reais em cinco anos. Isso é um desafio que já temos, e eu não aceito uma situação dessa”, declarou à Flamengo TV. A insatisfação tem levado o presidente a se aproximar da Liga Forte União e a sinalizar uma possível adesão ao bloco, o que pode provocar uma grande mudança no cenário do futebol brasileiro.

Maracanã e Vasco

O objetivo de conseguir acordos vantajosos levou Bap a se aproximar até mesmo do Vasco na questão do Maracanã. Aproveitando o fato de o cruz-maltino não conseguir levar para São Januário o clássico da 5ª rodada do Brasileirão, o presidente selou, nesta semana, um acordo pontual para que o rival não apenas mande esse jogo no maior estádio da cidade — administrado em conjunto com o Fluminense —, como também o utilize em outras partidas nas temporadas de 2025 e 2026. A medida atrai mais uma grande torcida para o local, algo que até pouco tempo era impensável, após tantas batalhas judiciais ao longo dos últimos anos.

Three reasons why Inter can beat Barcelona and advance to the Champions League final

Getty Images BARCELONA -- If Inter wanted to have a chance to qualify for their second UEFA Champions League final in the last three seasons, they needed to contain FC Barcelona and Spanish wonderkid Lamine Yamal in the first leg at the Estadio Lluis Companys. If the second one was quite difficult to make happen, we can't say the Nerazzurri haven't done their best to bring a 3-3 draw back to Milan ahead of the second leg semifinal that will take place on Tuesday (live on Paramount+). Simone Inzaghi's Inter showed, once again, why they shouldn't be underestimated and why they are still a strong candidate to win, despite a disappointing recent form that led them to lose the lead of the Serie A standings after losing two Serie A matches in a row. It won't be easy, but Inter […]

Lamine The Dream: Micah Richards coins nickname for Barcelona phenom Lamine Yamal after dazzling in UCL

Getty Images Where were you when you were 17? For Lamine Yamal, he's in the process of rewriting history with every kick of the ball. Scoring against Inter and also pushing Barcelona forward in a 3-3 draw in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals, what Yamal is doing is unheard of. Tuesday was his 100th appearance for Barcelona, and in that time, he has 50 goal contributions for the club (22 goals, 28 assists). Any player would be happy to do that, but he's doing it in braces before turning 18.It's truly remarkable, and while Yamal has us running out of words on how to describe his play, one thing that he doesn't have is a nickname, but that could be changing after CBS Sports' Micah Richards coined "Lamine The Dream" during the UEFA Champions League Today post-match […]
