According to Coluna do Fla, the Fluminense board is in a state of notable irritation, classifying Flamengo's stance as "selfish" in relation to not allowing Conmebol to take over the control of Maracanã in advance of the Libertadores final. The South American entity showed interest in taking care of the lawn at the stage of the decision, considering that Fluminense will be one of the protagonists in the final.
Fluminense aims to represent Brazilian football in the decision of the Libertadores and intends to hold its game at the iconic Maracanã stadium. However, Flamengo's board, which has commitments against Vasco and Bragantino, is not willing to give up playing in the same location. The impasse between the two Rio clubs has gained prominence in recent weeks and has generated intense debate in the world of football.
Conmebol, as responsible for organizing the continental competition, wants to ensure that Maracanã is in perfect condition for the grand final. However, Flamengo's inflexibility has been an obstacle to the realization of this plan. The irritation of the Fluminense board is evident, given that the situation generates uncertainty and tension on the eve of such a significant event for the club and Brazilian football as a whole.
After all, the Libertadores final represents not only the dispute for the continental title, but also the opportunity to promote the sport and the country. Some members of the Fluminense board publicly expressed their frustration with Flamengo's attitude. They argue that, in the name of sporting spirit and collaboration, Flamengo could compromise on its commitments at Maracanã, paving the way for Conmebol to guarantee the maintenance of the pitch in perfect condition for the final.
On the side of Flamengo, the stance is based on the importance of the commitments already scheduled at Maracanã. For the club, it is essential to ensure that its matches against Vasco and Bragantino take place at the planned location, given the sporting and financial implications involved. Rio de Janeiro football, already known for its fierce rivalries, is currently at the center of a controversy that is being followed by fans and sports lovers across the country. The issue involving the use of Maracanã for the Libertadores final is not only a dispute between clubs, but also a fight for the representation of Rio de Janeiro in the football scene

Last Wednesday (18), representatives from Flamengo and Caixa Econômica Federal held another meeting to resolve the impasse surrounding the Gasologista land, acquired by the club in July. The meeting had the support of Rio de Janeiro City Hall and the Attorney General's Office (AGU), and a new meeting scheduled for next week, in Brasília, could seal the definitive agreement. The information was released by journalist Diogo Dantas, from the newspaper "O Globo".
Mengão's board of directors, represented by president Rodolfo Landim, vice-general Rodrigo Dunshee, CEO Reinaldo Belotti and vice-president of equity Marcos Bodin, was optimistic about the possibility of a solution soon. Caixa questions the amount paid by the club at the land auction, but everything indicates that an additional amount could resolve the legal conflict by next month.
The meeting was also attended by deputy Pedro Paulo and the club's director of external relations, Cacau Cotta, who have acted as intermediaries between the club and the mayor from Rio, Eduardo Paes. In August, a meeting involving the bank's president, Carlos Vieira, president Lula and mayor Eduardo Paes had already signaled the path to an agreement.
Mais Querido's director of external relations, Cacau Cotta, highlighted that the agreement is the ideal way to give peace of mind to the club. "For the club, a good agreement is always better than an eternal discussion about values. The land has already been expropriated. The agreement is ideal to eliminate any doubts and for Flamengo to have the necessary peace of mind to begin the work", said Cotta.

This Thursday (19), Flamengo hosts Peñarol (URU) at Maracanã, at 7pm (Brasília time), in a match valid for the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores da América. In search of a good advantage for the second leg, coach Tite will have to deal with several important absences in the red and black squad.
Peñarol coach, Diego Aguirre, defined the starting lineup for the match decisive. With no important absences, the Uruguayan team takes to the field with: Aguerre; Léo Coelho, Javier Méndez, Guzmán Rodríguez; Pedro Milans, Eduardo Darías, Damián García, Javier Cabrera, Léo Fernández, Maximiliano Olivera; and Maximiliano Silvera.
Aguirre will have almost his entire squad at his disposal. The only player out of the match is Damian Suarez, who has not yet had his name regularized after his recent arrival at the Uruguayan club. However, Suarez's absence is not a concern, as the coach has a complete squad for the clash against Mengão. b>
On the other hand, Mais Querido has to deal with six confirmed absences. Cebolinha, Pedro, Luiz Araújo, Gabigol, Michael and Viña are out of the match, all due to injuries. These absences complicate the formation of coach Tite, who will have to adjust the team to seek a good result playing at home.
This Thursday's clash is extremely important for the CRF. The Rio team needs a convincing victory to travel more calmly to Uruguay for the second leg, scheduled for September 26th. An impressive score at Maracanã would be essential to guarantee a solid advantage in the tie and ease the pressure for the second game.
