Andrew landed in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday night (13th)


The Brazilian goalkeeper Andrew, from Gil Vicente (POR), is already in Rio de Janeiro to undergo medical exams at Flamengo. Thus, the expectation is that the goalkeeper will arrive to compete for the position with Rossi, who has a lower average of interventions than the new signing.

The 24-year-old is the fifth goalkeeper with the best save rate in the Portuguese Championship. This is because the new reinforcement saves an average of 2.41 shots per game, while the current starter averages 2.32.
