The Flamengofaces significant challenges in trying to build its new stadium in the Gasmetro region of Rio de Janeiro. The land designated for the work houses a large infrastructure belonging to Naturgy, a multinational company responsible for distributing piped gas in the state. The removal of these facilities could generate costs estimated at around R$100 million, an amount that will have to be borne by the CRF. The information is from the O Globo portal. 

At the end of August, Naturgy informed the Energy and Basic Sanitation Regulatory Agency of the State of Rio (Agenersa) about the impasse involving the land. The area located at Avenida São Cristóvão, nº 1,200, includes warehouses, laboratories and a Regulation and Measurement Station, essential for the supply of gas to the North, South and Center zones of Rio de Janeiro, serving approximately 400 thousand consumers.

Agenersa requested that the concessionaire present, by mid-September, detailed reports on the costs and time required to relocate these structures. It is estimated that complete removal will require an additional investment of R$ 100 million.


NEGOTIATIONS WITH CITY HALL AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Naturgy representatives have held informal conversations with City Hall from Rio to clarify the situation. During these dialogues, it became clear that the club will be responsible for the expenses related to the removal of the facilities. One of the annexes to the land purchase and sale contract stipulates that Flamengo must bear the extra costs, although the document does not determine a maximum value.


RISKS INVOLVED IN STRUCTURE REMOVAL

In addition to the high cost, the removal of gas installations presents significant risks. The concessionaire warned of the possibility of accidents and gas shortages in large areas of the city, such as Greater Tijuca and the South Zone, if the operation is not carried out correctly. The gas pipeline that passes through the site operates at high pressure, which makes the operation delicate and risky both for the continuity of the service and for the safety of workers.

Flamengo only drew 1-1 with Vasco, last Sunday (15). Mais Querido came to dominate a good part of the match, but due to defensive errors, Cruzmaltino scored the goal that tied the score. The first was from Léo Pereira, but on the counterattack, Fabrício Bruno and Evrtton Araújo also did not miss. After the goal, there was an argument between Tite and the red and black number 4.

At the beginning of the play, Léo Pereira is in attack, where he makes a good move on the left wing. However, the defender falls and loses the ball. Vasco's goal had a ball sent from right to left, where the defender should have been, leaving the side free for the smooth cross to reach Coutinho.

Soon after Vasco's goal, Tite argued with Léo Pereira, signaling an error by the defender in the attack. The defender did not like the reprimand, and appears to respond to the coach effusively, until he turns his back and swings his arm behind him.
