MATCH AGAINST MILLONARIOS BREAKS AUDIENCE RECORD AMONG BRAZILIAN TEAMS AT LIBERTADORES IN 2024

A former Flamengo target in the primeira window of the year, is almost certainly a rival from Rio. This is because Botafogo overcame previous difficulties with Udinese and is still in the process of signing Matheus Martins, a 21-year-old striker. The operation will cost 10 million euros (R$ 60 million), with a further 2 million euros in bonuses, for 90% of the attacker's economic rights.

Only the athlete's signature separates the negotiation from being assured officially, but both parties already consider the operation as done.

Flamengo even negotiated with the striker, while he was on vacation in Rio de Janeiro. Some meetings took place, but there was no agreement with the Europeans. Another point was that at the time of the red-black attack, the player had the desire to continue in Europe.

So far, the rubro-negro< /a> has not signed any players since the start of the transfer window. The attempts with midfielder Marcos Antônio were unsuccessful and the Rio club ended up taking a beating from São Paulo, which signed the player. So far, the only name in which Flamengo is negotiating is with midfielder Claudinho, from Zenit, in Russia. Despite the Russians' tough game, everything is fine between the player and Flamengo.

Last Wednesday (24), striker Carlinhos secured three points for Flamengo over Vitória. Due to his way of celebrating, the player received the nickname "Bellingham da Gávea" from the red-black fans. Thus, the athlete commented on the joke.

"For me: Ronaldo, Romário and Adriano, I'm a big fan of them and I always try to imitate them. I know there's a lot missing. And I like the fans because they're creative: “it's Adriano Imperador's Avatar”, “Bellingham da Gávea”… That's cool. Here, for the guys, I'm the “thunder” because a partner of mine said: “Can I make a stop at your boot”? forget it", he said, in an interview with FlaTV.

In addition to commenting on the fans' joke, Carlinhos also spoke about the meaning of the way he celebrates goals as a Flamengo player.

"I came from an evangelical family, and at home there were a lot of evangelical films. Even though my name is Carlos Moisés, I always liked the opposite side, which is Pharaoh Ramses . My mother would scold me, I would put my hand on my waist (laughs)", he said, before finishing:

"When I grew up, I always did this to her: “Mom, Ramses has arrived”. In this review I told my brothers that this was going to be the celebration. My posture was stupid, but it was more to provoke my mother. This position he takes is one of authority, a bit harshly, I identified with the celebration", he concluded.

So, with Carlinhos at his disposal, Flamengo started preparation for the clash against Atlético-GO this Friday afternoon (26). The game will be on Sunday (28), valid for the 20th round of the Brasileirão, at 4pm.

The dream of having its own stadium is becoming more and more real for Flamengo. In this sense, according to information from the "Mundo rubro-negro" portal, Flamengo does not see the contamination of the Gasologista land as a significant obstacle to the construction of its stadium on the site, either in terms of costs or as a possible obstacle to obtaining a license. environmental impact in the work.

The club's board of directors reflects on what happened at the Gentileza Terminal, which was built on a piece of the same land that was previously expropriated by the city hall, as has now happened with the portion of land that will be auctioned next Wednesday (31)

The cost of cleaning the land for the construction of the Gentileza Terminal, according to documentation obtained by Flamengo, was R$ 6,935,407.22, in an area of 27 thousand square meters. The area where the Flamengo stadium will be built is around three times larger, which would cost approximately R$21 million if the expenditure were linear. Flamengo estimates, however, a cost of between around R$15 million and R$20 million.

This spreadsheet must be presented to the club's advisors at the Deliberative Council meeting next Monday (29) as part of the efforts to calm fears that the construction of the stadium may be economically unviable for Flamengo.

In a project with an estimated value of up to R$2 billion, this would represent an increase of around 1% of the total value of the work, which does not impact Flamengo's economic viability calculations to build the stadium on the Gasometer site.

Based on what happened with Terminal Gentileza, the club also does not believe it will have difficulties with environmental licensing. In the process of building the Gasometer, licensing left the sphere of Inea (State Environmental Institute), and became the responsibility of the City Hall's Economic Development Secretariat, which will grant a Municipal Remediation and Installation License.

As happened at the Gentileza Terminal, Flamengo should not be forced to carry out a total decontamination of the land, but rather just remove the top layer of soil, measuring around one meter, and cement the land, thus isolating it from the contaminated portion. The only difficulty is that this condition of the land will prevent any underground work from being carried out, such as garages, and all construction will have to be above ground level.

The technical feasibility study envisages that the stadium Flamengo will have 1,500 vacancies. But in the final project, this number should double, as Flamengo cannot depend, in its mobility plan, on the construction of a garage building or other spaces on adjacent land.

The land is contaminated because for almost a hundred years it was used to store and distribute natural gas, operating at 118 thousand cubic meters per day and being the largest in the world. The gasometer was deactivated in 2005.
