The Flamengo stadium construction project is beginning to spark a public debate about the expropriation carried out by the city of Rio to make it viable. This discussion is valid, healthy and necessary when talking about a project that involved public administration and has an impact on the city. But much of the criticism of the project so far has been marked by hypocrisy and laziness.
First, to understand the context, Rio City Hall decided to expropriate the Gasometer land, in the city center, with the aim of selling it to Flamengo. The auction value has a minimum bid of R$138 million. This measure occurred after negotiations on the area between Flamengo and Caixa Econômica failed. The bank is the manager of the fund that owns the land - a fund that has resources from the FGTS.
The fund came into existence in the Porto Maravilha project, created for the Rio 2016 Olympics. It was prepared by the City of Rio, with the participation of Caixa, with operations involving land and construction rights. It's an idea to develop the degraded region: it has only partially succeeded so far. Now, the city hall's justification is that the stadium would, finally, boost the stagnant project.
Well, the criticism surrounding the project has two poles: 1) fans of other teams involved in football who see city hall favoring Flamengo 2) Experts who understand that urbanistically the project is bad for Rio.
In relation to the first hub, there is enormous hypocrisy. It must be said that, yes, Mayor Eduardo Paes' measure is a benefit to Flamengo that would not be given to any company.
But the public authorities, in Rio and São Paulo, have favored football clubs with different measures. All the big teams in the capitals had some help:
1) Corinthians - Neo Química land donated, city hall bonds (from the municipal budget) of R$ 400 million for the construction of the stadium, subsidized interest from BNDES for loan, federal tax discount on the work, intermediation by Caixa in the operation, grace period for payment and non-execution after failure to pay.
2) São Paulo - CT da Barra Funda on public land, with concession from the city hall
For the commentator, the archer missed Grêmio's two goals

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.
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 CONFRONTATIONAfter 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.
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 celebrationsThe 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 gameWith 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).

Vinícius Júnior's magnificent season for Real Madrid will, indeed, be rewarded. The star hopes to receive the best player in the world award from France Football magazine, which organizes the Ballon d'Or awards. But according to Spanish newspaper Marca, this expectation has already become reality.
This is because the striker revealed by Flamengo has already been announced that he will be the big winner of the Ballon d'Or in the edition that takes place in October and rewards players for the 2023/24 season, which has already come to an end. It is only a matter of time before Vinícius Júnior becomes the first Brazilian to win the honor since Kaká, in 2007.
The newspaper highlights that “Vinícius Júnior is dressed in gold” and already knows that he is waiting for glory. Furthermore, the star's resilience and effort were praised and rewarded: “Vinícius made mistakes on occasions, but he also knew how to assimilate and work like few others so that his football changed and adapted to the needs of his team. From being the protagonist of parodies and all kinds of situations that sought to make him ridiculous, he became respected and feared by those who step onto the pitch and face him.”
The awarding of the Ballon d'Or, at the organized event by France Football, is scheduled for October 28th, with just over a month left for Vinícius Júnior to experience the greatest moment of his career so far. From what he continues to play, however, the hunger and the possibility of this being just the beginning, piling up awards and consolidating himself as the best player in the world today, is very high.
Vinícius Júnior will be honored by Nike b>Like great world stars, Vinícius Júnior has his sponsorship and the partnership with Nike goes back a long way. The newspaper Marca guarantees that the company is already preparing a super marketing action involving the player after winning the Ballon d'Or in Paris.
Nike will reopen one of its stores in Madrid, on Gran Vía, just two days after the Ballon d'Or was awarded. Marca guarantees that the inauguration will feature tributes to names such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Mbappé. But it is Vinícius Júnior who will win a golden representation, being the highlight of the event. Knowing that the star will win the prize, the brand has already prepared Vinícius Júnior's golden boots.
