Throughout Wednesday (24), Flamengo's Vice President of External Relations, Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as Bap, spoke with several media outlets. The Flamengo director explained the club's position regarding the new Provisional Measure 984, the broadcasting rights of home clubs and other matters. Check out the main topics below:

Flamengo's leadership process
"You achieve leadership by example. Flamengo fulfills its obligations to society, the state, athletes, and employees. We're proud of what we're doing and of being able to articulate everything we believe. We need to update ourselves, because the world has changed a lot in the last ten years or so. The Pelé Law was important at one time, but it's no longer. We have excellent examples of club management from clubs like Ceará, Fortaleza, Goiás, and Bahia... We believe in hard work and advocate for market openness."

New football MP
"We understand that the MP is a letter of freedom for us, a golden rule. According to the fan statute, the home team must fulfill its responsibilities and obligations. The signed MP is a breath of fresh air, and we hope it is approved by the National Congress. That is our opinion."

Match broadcast
"We're working on this and we may have news in the coming days. Our goal is to soon allow all Flamengo fans around the world to watch our games. We'll do everything possible to broadcast Flamengo's home matches. We're working 24/XNUMX to make this dream a reality."

Return of football
"Either you act or you stand by and do nothing. Flamengo took inspiration from European clubs and has been taking care of its athletes. Our protocol is proving that it's much safer for them to be at the training center, constantly monitored. The club has been contributing to football with the protocol led by FERJ and, indirectly, ends up benefiting society in general. Often, the impression given doesn't reflect reality. Case rates are falling in Rio de Janeiro. We have an expensive squad, made up of high-performance athletes who need to perform activities. We can't afford to sit idle for three or four months. We're also thinking about smaller clubs, whose contracts with their players expire at the end of this month. We did what we thought needed to be done. People need to be careful about generalizations."

Biggest dream at Flamengo
"My biggest dream within the club is to see Flamengo win everything. I know it's practically impossible to win everything, but the fans can believe. There's a madman inside me who believes it's possible. I wake up every day with this idea in my head. I want Flamengo to win even in odds or evens!"

Turning 'followers' into 'consumers'
"Flamengo will work to understand its 42 million fans. The oil of the XNUMXst century is information. If every Flamengo fan wants to grant us, under the general data protection law, the right to legally share their information, we will do so."
