The proximity of municipal elections benefits Flamengo in negotiations with Caixa Econômica Federal for the land of the former Gasometer, where the club plans to build a stadium. Led by Mayor Eduardo Paes, Rio de Janeiro politicians pressure the bank to accept the club's terms. Furthermore, federal deputy Pedro Paulo (PSD) is demanding the participation of President Lula.


Pedro Paulo, tipped to be vice-president on Paes' ticket in his re-election attempt, speaks frequently about the Flamengo stadium project. He works with directors and a group of politicians to try to get Caixa to accept the R$250 million that Flamengo is willing to pay for the land. Faced with a bank focused on profit, he asks Lula for help.

"Rio City Hall is very committed to helping in this process, because everyone wins. The federal government can have a more collaborative participation. It is necessary to bring President Lula into this story", said Pedro Paulo.


SUPPORT FROM FEDERAL DEPUTY
The group trying to help Flamengo also includes federal deputy Doutor Luizinho (PP) and the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Arthur Lira (PP-AL ), responsible for appointing Carlos Vieira to the presidency of Caixa, as well as several vice-presidents. "We are united, working to strengthen ties between Flamengo, city hall and Caixa. President Arthur Lira is also doing this", said Doutor Luizinho.


DEALS WITH CAIXA ECONÔMICA
In recent weeks, Flamengo leaders and deputies met with Caixa representatives to continue negotiations. According to O Globo, the state bank accepts R$250 million for the land, but the need to include the construction potential could make the club spend up to three times more.


NEGOTIATION REACHES THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC
Negotiations reached the president of the republic, but the decision was to wait for a resolution between the parties and not get involved directly, at least for now.

Coach Tite, from Flamengo, confirmed that Gabigol, one of the club's recent idols, now occupies third place in the team's attack. The decision sparked discussions among fans and experts, but, according to the coach, the choice was based on technical criteria and recent performance. During a press conference, Tite was asked about the change in the attack hierarchy and explained the reasons that led him to prefer other players in front of Gabigol. “Training, games, specifically.

Carlinhos decisive against Bolívar. Carlinhos decisive against Atlético Mineiro, with a goal. Decisive against Vitória. That's why the option was made", said the coach, highlighting Carlinhos' recent performances as a key factor in his decision.


This change in command of the attack reflects Tite's management style, which values ​​performance and meritocracy. Since arriving at Flamengo, the coach has adopted a discourse that no one has a guaranteed place in the team, regardless of name or history. This can be clearly seen in this decision, in which a player like Gabigol, who was once crucial. in Flamengo's recent titles, he loses space to a colleague who is going through a good phase.


FLAMENGO HAS ITS OWN

Carlinhos, the new holder of the position, has shown himself to be decisive in important matches , as Tite highlighted. Against Bolívar, Atlético Mineiro and Vitória, he played a fundamental role in the success of Flamengo, whether with goals or participation in important plays. These factors were enough to guarantee the coach's preference in placing him as the main option in attack.


Gabigol's situation, on the other hand, seems to reflect a phase of adaptation to the new command. Although he is a renowned player and beloved by the fans, his current phase has not been as brilliant as that of other periods of his career. In training and games, according to Tite, Gabigol has not been able to stand out to the point of regaining his starting position.
