Victor Travancas, undersecretary of governor Cláudio Castro's (PL) office, withdrew from taking legal action to prevent the expropriation of the Gasometer land, where Flamengo intends to build its stadium. The decision came after the information was released by the Mundo Rubro-Negro website and generated a public reaction from Mayor Eduardo Paes (PSD), who had authorized the process through a municipal decree. In response to the repercussion, Travancas met with members of the OAB-RJ and decided to review his position.
The case came to light on Monday, when Travancas, alleging illegalities in Paes' decree, he asked for its annulment. He had written a letter addressed to other lawyers and members of the Public Ministry, but without pointing out the specific irregularities. Upon learning of the request, Mayor Eduardo Paes spoke out through social media, criticizing the undersecretary's action.
"I doubt that the governor, red-black even The last hair, Cláudio Castro, agrees with this. I'm sure that, if he doesn't retract, this guy will be exonerated", declared Paes. The mayor's public demonstration added pressure to the case, leading Travancas to reconsider his initial position on the issue. elaborating. The withdrawal was formalized in a joint note between him and OAB-RJ, to which the website Mundo Rubro-Negro had access. The president of OAB-RJ, Luciano Bandeira, and the general secretary, Marcos Luiz, presented to the undersecretary details and benefits of the stadium construction project for the city's Port Zone.

[...] OAB/RJ is always committed to contributing to actions that bring development to the state of Rio de Janeiro and bring improvements to the lives of the population, agendas also defended by the project to build the new stadium of the Clube de Regatas do Flamengo", stated the note.
Travancas was not exonerated. The expropriation of the Gasometer land is supported by the governor himself, who is a Flamengo fan. In a video on social media, the lawyer explained his change of decision, mentioning the presentation of the project and its benefits by OAB-RJ as decisive factors.
"Me They called me to talk about the process I was studying, about this decree by Mayor Eduardo Paes. They presented me with the stadium project, which the OAB is supporting, since, according to them, it would bring great benefits to that region, for a long time. abandoned", explained Travancas. He also highlighted Flamengo's commitment to social projects in the area, thus justifying his withdrawal from judicializing the issue.

São Paulo will have an important absence in the match against Flamengo this Saturday (13), at Maracanã, at 4:30 pm. Although he was expected to return to the team , Lucas Moura will remain out of action. According to the club, the attacking midfielder is still under physical preparation care, despite being clinically recovered from a knee injury.
Lucas Moura hasn't played an official match since May 6th . Although his knee problem has been overcome, the medical department and coaching staff understand that he still needs more time to regain physical conditioning before returning to action. Therefore, his return to action for the São Paulo team will remain postponed.
In addition to the absence of the number 7, São Paulo will be without Lucas Ferreira (with hip pain), Luciano, Luiz Gustavo, and Calleri, all ruled out by the medical department. The match will also mark Hernán Crespo's return to the team , precisely against the league leaders, in the return of the competition after the Club World Cup.
The São Paulo team's likely starting lineup features significant changes. Crespo is expected to field Rafael; Arboleda, Alan Franco, and Sabino (or Ferraresi); Cédric, Alisson, Bobadilla, Marcos Antônio, and Enzo Díaz; Oscar (or Juan Dinenno), and André Silva. Among the confirmed returns to the squad are Marcos Antônio, Ferreirinha, and Oscar, who have been sidelined since early June.

Signed with star status, Gabigol is still seeking regular starting positions at Cruzeiro. Unlike what he became accustomed to during his years as a star player at Flamengo, the striker is currently in a transitional phase. Even though he's not a regular in the starting eleven, he's been touted as an important player in Leonardo Jardim's project.
Pedro Junio, vice president of the Minas Gerais club, emphasized in an interview with the program Donos da Bola that the number 9 did not disappoint. According to the director, the striker has fulfilled everything agreed upon at the time of his signing, both on the field and in marketing. " He delivers everything we agreed on, both in the sporting and commercial and marketing aspects . Gabriel was a package deal we signed, and he delivers," he noted.
Since arriving at Toca da Raposa, Gabigol has started 11 matches, initially under Fernando Diniz and later under Leonardo Jardim. Following the 1-1 draw with São Paulo on April 13th, in the third round of the Brasileirão , the striker has lost his place in the starting lineup. Even so, management emphasizes that there is no dissatisfaction or bad blood behind the scenes.
" Cruzeiro's advantage is that everyone understands that Cruzeiro is the top priority. Regardless of who's playing or not," explained Pedro Junio, highlighting the positive internal atmosphere at the club and the players' maturity in accepting coaching decisions.
Despite recurring speculation that he's unhappy about not being a regular starter, Gabigol has publicly expressed his composure about this new phase. After the 2-0 victory over Vila Nova on May 1st in the Copa do Brasil , the striker addressed the issue directly.
" I'm very calm about it. I know the pressure there is , and there are a lot of people who say things without realizing it. I try to work hard, show my football skills on the field," he said. On that occasion, the striker also highlighted the welcome he received at the club and reinforced his desire to continue contributing.
