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.

Eduardo Paes guarantees that the removal is the responsibility of Rio's city hall.

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.

The cast of Flamengo completed the third day of preparation for the game against Bahia, valid for the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil. This Saturday's activities (07) were led by coach Tite, who chose not to define starting or reserve teams during collective training. The strategy adopted was to use the session for tests and observations, aiming to adjust the team and analyze the options available for the next appointment.

The coach, whose characteristic is detailed work, took the opportunity to do several tactical variations and evaluate the performance of players in different positions. With the tight schedule, Tite has been looking for alternatives to keep the squad competitive amid the various competitions that the club competes in. The decision not to form defined teams indicates that he is looking for solutions for possible changes to the team, whether due to physical issues, suspensions or injuries.

FLAMENGO SUFFERS WITH INJURIES

Another relevant point of this training was the chance to observe the athletes' behavior on the field without the pressure of a previously established structure. Tite, known for his thorough analysis and focus on collective behavior, believes this approach offers a clearer view of how players may react in different game situations. Thus, the absence of a clear separation between starters and reserves allowed for a more flexible dynamic, allowing everyone the chance to show their value under more balanced conditions.

These tests are especially important, considering that the< a href="https://gazetadourubu.com/noticia/bastidores-pegando-fogo-antigos-members-do-conselho-podem-atuar-novamente-pelo-flamengo?" target="_blank"> Flamengo has faced injury problems throughout the season. The club's medical department is working intensely to recover essential players for the squad, and the technical committee knows that it will be necessary to have the entire group available to remain competitive in the final stages of the Copa do Brasil and the Brazilian Championship.

< With the game against Bahia approaching, the observations made in training should directly influence Tite's choices for the match. The coach is attentive to the physical conditions of the players, as the sequence of games requires an effective rotation to avoid excessive wear and tear on the main names in the squad. So, even without defining a starting team in training, Flamengo can already be expected to enter the field with some strategic changes.
