Avenida Francisco Bicalho: From Postcard to Hope for Revitalization

A postcard of the city at the beginning of the 20th century, Avenida Francisco Bicalho was inaugurated during the term of Mayor Pereira Passos (1902-1906). At the time, it was a noble area close to the Center, where families walked along the banks of the Mangrove, flanked by imperial palm trees. Today, one hundred and twenty years later, the avenue is a congested street, where buses and cars can take up to an hour to cross its 1,200 meters. Abandoned properties, empty lots and a polluted canal characterize the current area.
Despite its state of degradation, architects and urban planners believe that Avenida Francisco Bicalho can revive its times of glory. The area tends to increase in value in the coming years with two major projects at its ends: the Flamengo stadium, in the old Gasometer, and the revitalization of Leopoldina Station. The station will be transformed into a complex with Cidade do Samba II, a convention center and a Minha Casa, Minha Vida condominium.
"The stadium and the station will serve as anchors in this process. But more public investments will be needed, making the sidewalks wider and improving lighting, in addition to enhancing the original concept, with the planting of imperial palm trees along the canal," suggested architect Sérgio Dias. Dias was municipal secretary of Urbanism in 2009, when the city launched the revitalization plan for the Port Zone, which included the demolition of the Elevado da Perimetral.
The projects mentioned they are seen as catalysts for broader transformation. Flamengo's stadium will attract a large flow of people and investments, while the revitalization of Leopoldina Station could make the area more attractive and functional. However, the implementation of these initiatives depends on effective collaboration between the public and private sector, in addition to careful urban planning.
With adequate planning and consistent investments , Avenida Francisco Bicalho has the potential to transform itself once again into a symbol of prosperity and urban beauty. The hope is that, in a few years, the road will once again be a place where families can stroll peacefully, enjoying a revitalized and safe environment.
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).

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.
