Last Tuesday, the candidate for re-election for mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo Paes, denied the journalist Ancelmo Gois, from Globo. In a post on Instagram, the mayor informed that the city hall will be responsible for removing the megastructure on the gas meter site, different from what was reported. Furthermore, he guaranteed that Flamengo will have its new stadium, with the best conditions and security.
The news published by Ancelmo informs that Flamengo would have to pay R$100 million to remove a large gas structure present on land acquired by the club, which is owned by CEG and CEG-Rio, which are companies that are part of the gas concessionaire Naturgy.
According to the article, the companies were informed that Flamengo is the responsible for bearing the expenses, as provided for in one of the annexes to the land purchase and transfer contract. The clause, however, does not have a specified limit.
Paes stated that the values for the transfer of the structure are different from what was pointed out in the article by Ancelmo Gois. Furthermore, it exempted Flamengo from any responsibility, and that the city hall has been planning to remove it for years.
“They are making me defend @flamengo more than I would like: let it be clear that this is not the The cost of this transfer and when it happens will be the responsibility of the city of Rio, which knows that this structure cannot be in an area that is already receiving so many residential buildings. It's been in our plans for a long time! Flamengo will have its new stadium there in the gasometer with all the quality and safety that the region demands and deserves. Period!”, published the mayor.
Coach once again criticized the calendar and other factors for Flamengo's defeat to Botafogo

Last Sunday, Flamengo was beaten by Botafogo, at the Nílton Santos stadium. At the press conference, Tite once again cited the Brazilian football calendar as one of the possible reasons for the red-black failure for the rival. In this sense, UOL journalist, Rodrigo Mattos, believes that Flamengo's coach owed some explanations regarding the team's performance.
The columnist participated, alongside journalist Bruno Braz, in Flamengo's live and highlighted:
"[The calendar] It's a factor, but he stuck to explaining the game by just one factor. He didn't explain the factors that were his fault, which is the case of the changes he did at the end of the break and that, tactically, made the game easier for Botafogo", said Mattos.
"He thought of something to keep scoring, having more people in the area. What happened. It's just that Botafogo arrived from the edge, played the ball underneath and not over the top. There's no point in having a bunch of defenders boxed in if the other team has a lot of space on the edges to cross for a shot. 19 shots on goal from Botafogo, nine of which went towards the goal. Rossi caught a lot of balls, penalties. So, I think he had to explain his mistakes as well", he added.
"At the time he was coach of the national team, he didn't say anything about the calendar, right? He's right in his criticisms, but that wasn't the only factor. There were other factors and his responsibilities. I think he doesn't talk much about these things. It's not exclusive to Tite. Every Brazilian coach doesn't like to talk about weaknesses and talks about other things that, sometimes, are right, as is the case with this calendar, but in general it diverts the focus from what their mistakes are."
Bruno Braz recalled the absences, but believes that Alvinegro's elastic score was influenced by the coach's choices. The journalist cited the change in midfield that made Artur Jorge's team gain even more ground in the classic.
"I think the goal itself was largely down to Tite, the changes he made. From the changes he made, especially in midfield. He lost midfield to Botafogo. Okay, there were several important absences, and that counted, but I think the score was on Tite's account", declared Bruno Braz.
Rodrigo Mattos indicated what may have been an error in evaluation by the technical committee and management. "It's a strategic choice. Back then, he chose to play all the starters in the Copa do Brasil against Palmeiras, and harm the performance in the Brazilian Championship, which was the most important competition. You compete hard in those games back there, it's going to blow up here."
