Samuel Lloyd, Commercial Director of Minas Arena, participated in a hearing about Mineiro at ALMG
Although there are ongoing talks regarding a possible agreement, the relationship between Cruzeiro and Minas Arena is increasingly delicate. The Legislative Assembly of Minas Gerais (ALMG) received on Tuesday (4) representatives of the heavenly club and the franchisor who manages Mineiro to discuss the public-private partnership relationship signed between the state and the company.
When outlining the benefits of the contract, from Minas Arena’s point of view, Commercial Director Samuel Lloyd was roundly criticized by Cruzeiro fans present at the venue. On several occasions, the atmosphere in the gathering got heated.
Lloyd was talking about the new investments the franchisee has made in the stadium, which will improve the fan experience when watching soccer matches, when asked by Cruzeiro fans.
“We just made a big investment for football, which has changed all the stadium lighting to LED. It’s ready,” he declared before interrupting for the first time.
Raposa fans stated that Gigante da Pampulha had prioritized concerts and cultural events and left aside his main job: football. Also, remember that the stadium has only hosted three official matches this year, all of which have been for Atlético.
In a provocative tone, the director of the Minas Arena responded and “invited” Cruzirenses to the final of the Mineiro Championship between Atlético and America, on Sunday (9), at 4:30 pm, in Mineiro.
“I’m inviting everyone to the final of the Mineiro tournament (laughs). I’m inviting everyone to the final, which has been scheduled and I’m sure it will be a great show,” he said.
Lloyd’s speech caused an outburst in the audience present, who raised the tone in the assembly. The situation must be contained by the Speaker.
Cruzeiro is crushed with Mineiro
“This year we see our relationship with Minas Arena broken. We will not play any matches in Mineiro this year. I think it is an important problem that the Minas Gerais government has to solve,” Venemeno said.
During the speech, the former number 9 also criticized the work of Minas Arena in the administration of Gigante da Pampulha and stated that the franchisee’s agreement with the government of Minas Gerais is “relaxing”.
“The conditions (of Minas Arena, the concessionaire who runs the stadium) have always been terrible for Cruzeiro. Minas Arena has a very comfortable contract with the government, they have all the weapons in their hands to make good negotiations with them and it never benefits us.”
Since then, Cruzeiro has been using Independencia, in Belo Horizonte, as his home.
