Ex-Flamengo chief tells Corinthians: “Show some shame to rebuild” | OneFootball

Corinthians Executive Stated That the São Paulo Club Wants to Become Flamengo

Flamengo is the prime example of how to organize finances for Brazilian teams. After all, Mengão dominates South American football without the need for SAF or patrons. Thus, following statements from the president of the Deliberative Council of Corinthians, Romeu Tuma Jr., the former Flamengo president Eduardo Bandeira de Mello provided the recipe for the São Paulo club.

— It's much more about attitude, posture, and having a sense of shame. What you need to do at Corinthians, what you need to do at Flamengo, you learn in Financial Management 1. There's nothing astronomical about it. These guys are financial geniuses. There's no genius, right -, he said, before concluding:

— What needs to be done is to be correct. Posture, responsibility, and credibility. And people need to believe. And for those who have 30 million fans, it's not impossible. For those who have 3 million fans, now it starts to get complicated. The greatest asset that Flamengo has, that Corinthians has, that Vasco, Palmeiras, is the fanbase -, concluded Bandeira de Mello, during participation in ‘Benja Me Mucho‘.

WHAT DID THE CORINTHIANS EXECUTIVE SAY?

During a press conference at the Corinthians training center, Romeu made strong statements about the political and institutional moment of the São Paulo club. During his speech, the executive stated that the team wants to be Flamengo. Thus, the topic came to light due to the impeachment vote of president Augusto Melo, scheduled for next Saturday (09).

IS FLAMENGO A MODEL IN BRAZILIAN FOOTBALL?

Since the 2019 season, Flamengo has become a model for other Brazilian football teams, both sportingly and financially. Not by chance, the Flamengo board announced the club's net operational debt (EOL), which decreased by R$ 199.2 million compared to the end of 2024. This is because the debt, which was R$ 327.4 million, has now been reduced to around R$ 128.2 million.
