One of these is the construction of a stadium for Flamengo. According to Patricia, once the training center is completed, the plan is to also work on creating a new location for Flamengo to host its games. A possible location would be Baixada Fluminense.

"As soon as the training center becomes a reality, I will work towards our own stadium. It's a project I haven't abandoned. I was approached by two groups of investors about building a stadium, and I've already spoken with the mayor, who told me that Rio is a bit overwhelmed with stadiums. Furthermore, there's an understanding that Flamengo will always need the Maracanã. Therefore, we need to discuss with the entire board the possibility of building it in a location like Baixada, which will now have the Transoeste highway (the express corridor that will connect Barra da Tijuca to Santa Cruz), the Via Dutra highway, and Avenida Brasil. This is the time," said the president, who also spoke about the club's current situation in the Brasileirão.

"As a fan of the club, my heart is in deep pain for the club. The expectation is there to resolve this situation. It could have happened already, and I hope it happens soon. As president, I'm trying to remain calm at this time," he explained.

Patricia also couldn't hide her happiness with Zico's support for the "brick campaign." For her, Galinho's endorsement is crucial for a project like this.

"Zico has already participated. He's a Flamengo idol and always will be. We're waiting for the time because I still don't know exactly what happened. He had the brilliance and greatness to participate and buy his brick. He's a noble man and a special person," he concluded.

It's a nationwide project, and we want fans from north to south, east to west, to acquire their brick. The credibility we're building in this campaign, through the transparency of our actions, is crucial. A visiting calendar will be created to allow fans to visit Ninho do Urubu and see where their brick is located, as well as learn about the status of the training center," he noted.
