President Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as PAP, celebrated Flamengo’s Brazilian title intensely after a 1-0 win over Ceara at the Maracanã. Amid the celebration of the second title lifted in less than a week – with Rubro Negro winning the Libertadores last Saturday – the manager used the opportunity to praise the club’s planning and send messages to critics.
Papp, while still on the field, said that Flamengo had worked since the beginning of the season with the aim of winning the two main tournaments this year. He pointed out that the award allocated to the Brazilian champion is greater than the Libertadores award, which reinforces the club’s priority.
‘We planned this. I have always said that our priority is the Brazilian League and the Libertadores, so much so that the prize for the Brazilian League is greater than the Copa Libertadores. We did what we expected. We plan exactly what we achieve. “I am very happy.”
In a provocative tone, the president also targeted critics and rivals, without naming names, calling them “critics, idiots and hypocrites,” and noting that many of them were from São Paulo, “the land of aerosols.”
I hope we continue to be champions. To the despair of critics, idiots, and hypocrites who know nothing. “Including the Land of Mist,” he added.
Regarding the future of Filipe Luis, who remains under contract until the end of the season, Papp preferred not to agree. The manager avoided giving any indications about the possibility of renewal or departure for the coach, indicating that the focus at the present time is only on celebrating achievements.
