The Rio de Janeiro Gasometer site, where Flamengo wants to build a football stadium, could present some problems for the club and its future plans. Experts on the subject, consulted by the report, analyze the consequences of this contamination.

According to Felipe Caixeta, filmmaker and journalist with many years of covering the environment and who made a series of reports on site, “ Soil contamination will directly impact construction workers. Anyone who goes there to do earthworks and becomes a mess will get sick. That land is also affected by contamination plumes from the Manguinhos refinery. Everything is contaminated. The plumes drain into Guanabara Bay. Pops, benzene, toluene, it's all there. If you dig a well in this region, oil will flow. Toxic dust will rise and affect the surrounding neighborhoods. A lot of insecurity”


Also according to Caixeta: “The city does not discuss that the site is contaminated, but several areas that are now residential were once dumps or were sites contaminated by manufacturing operations that were disastrous for the environment. They license and let the people live above paying.”


Roberto Bastos Rocha, architect, advisor to the Municipal Environmental Council, emphasizes that “the importance of an updated diagnosis of the area – so that the environmental agency can define the desired decontamination levels – and, from this, the best techniques, deadlines and costs are dimensioned in a detailed in situ and/or ex situ decontamination plan. All this information and actions will be part of, as conditions, the environmental licensing process of any project to be built on the site, guaranteeing the safety and health of future users, those who will work on its construction, the neighborhood and the flora and fauna. regional. This requires time and investment, but, in this case, the popular saying applies: caution and chicken soup never hurt anyone.”

Some Boys from the Ninho stood out in Flamengo's defeat to Grêmio last Sunday (22), such as Matheus Gonçalves, Lorran and Felipe Teresa. However, some names left something to be desired and were the target of criticism from journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira. Matheus Cunha was one of his main players.

Mauro didn't like the way Matheus Cunha behaved on the field. For the journalist, the first two goals had a good contribution from the archer, who would have done badly in both shots. Mauro still calls the player a “naked goalkeeper”.


“The young people did well. But Matheus Cunha is not capable of being Flamengo's goalkeeper. He missed two goals, bizarre misses. The second, it seems, you know, naked goalkeeper? He goes to play ball with his friends, Aranha doesn't show up to score the goal. Then Maurício Barros appears. From your friends, who play ball with you. He doesn't know how to play in goal. Then he does what, he goes down, defends with his leg instead of defending with his hand, and takes the goal”, compares Mauro.


MAURO QUOTES JORGE SAMPAOLI WHEN TALKING ABOUT MATHEUS CUNHA< /b>

Soon afterwards, Mauro Cezar quotes Jorge Sampaoli to criticize Matheus Cunha. It's worth remembering that the archer was the Argentine coach's starter while commanding Mais Querido.


“It's a ridiculous thing, for a professional goalkeeper to defend like that. There is no condition. Sampaoli's legacy was convincing Matheus Cunha that he plays well with his feet and that he can be Flamengo's goalkeeper. He has no condition, he has to be loaned. He compromised a lot”, he analyzes.

FOCUS ON THE NEXT CONFRONTATION

After preserving Rossi, Tite will return to using the main team next Thursday (26) , when Mais Querido faces Peñarol, in the second leg of the Libertadores quarter-finals. The clash will be at 7pm, in Montevideo.

Loud music in the mixed zone, “title” celebration at the airport, posts on social media with Christ the Redeemer wearing the Peñarol (URU) shirt and the coach mocking Flamengo fans... The Uruguayan team's party after The 1-0 victory at Maracanã, in the first game of the Libertadores quarter-finals, caught the attention and angered the red and black players. The “exaggerated” celebration also had repercussions in Uruguay, generating an ironic comment from journalist Valentín Fletcher, who teased: “Were you champion?”.

“Congratulations to the Penãrol fans for winning a new championship. Peñarol has been playing at an international level for many years, which doesn't even fit in Uruguay. You won the Maracanã, right? Oh, it didn't come out. I saw a lot of people ecstatic and excited. But… My mistake for not being well informed” said Valentín Fletcher, appearing on the channel 'Las voces del fútbol', from Uruguay.


Criticisms of Arrascaeta and Varela

In addition to mocking the party of Peñarol fans, Fletcher criticized two Uruguayan players who defend Flamengo. “They are a disgrace, starting with the Uruguayans. They have to ask the public for forgiveness. Guille Varela played with the Peñarol shirt (underneath). From Arrascaeta, okay, he's a Peñarol fan, he wants to play for Peñarol. But you have to respect the Flamengo fans”, declared Fletcher.

The journalist recalled that Varela, trained in Peñarol's youth categories, always showed affection for the Montevideo club. Arrascaeta, on several occasions, expressed his desire to end his career with his childhood team, which will precisely be Flamengo's next opponent.

Peñarol's celebrations

The list of Peñarol celebrations at Maracanã was extensive. After the end of the game, the players played loud music, singing and dancing in front of Brazilian journalists. At the airport, the athletes celebrated with the fans, jumping and celebrating together.

In the changing rooms, goalkeeper Aguerre took a photo pointing to the patch with Peñarol's five Libertadores cups (although he had never seen the club to win the tournament, as it was born in 1993 and the last title was in 1987). Coach Diego Aguirre, in turn, celebrated the fact that he “silenced Maracanã”.

There's still a game

With the scenario still open , Peñarol and Flamengo meet again next Thursday (26), this time at the Campeón del Siglo Stadium, in Montevideo. After losing 1-0 in the first game, Flamengo needs to win by two goals to guarantee their place in the semi-finals. A 1-0 victory would take the decision to penalties. The match starts at 7pm (Brasília time).

New information has emerged about the legal impasse involving Caixa Econômica Federal and the Gasologista land, located in the Port Zone of Rio de Janeiro, where Flamengo's future stadium is planned. The state bank demands compensation of R$1.08 billion to free up the area for the club.
DEMANDS FROM CAIXA ECONÔMICA FEDERAL

According to the website Exame, Caixa is charging R$240 million for land ownership and R$840 million for air rights for the work, which would allow for an expansion of the construction potential of the stadium project. Only with the payment of this amount would the bank be willing to provide the site for construction.

In 2024, the City of Rio de Janeiro, led by Mayor Eduardo Paes, expropriated the Gasometer land. Mais Querido then acquired the area at an auction for R$146 million. However, Caixa Econômica challenged the transaction in court, triggering a long legal battle that has not yet been resolved.


ONGOING NEGOTIATIONS

To try to resolve the conflict, Flamengo, City Hall and Caixa are looking for an agreement that could put an end to the legal disputes. A deadline of mid-November this year was set for the parties to reach a consensus and make progress on the stadium project possible.
