Rossi names top 3 Libertadores saves, one crucial for Flamengo | OneFootball

Agustín Rossi Collects Great Saves in the Libertadores Campaign

The Flamengo fans are somewhat 'apprehensive' after Rossi's mistake against Fluminense in the Brasileirão. However, the goalkeeper is one of the team's highlights in the Copa Libertadores campaign. With great saves, the Argentine had difficulty choosing his favorite. Nonetheless, the one against Deportivo Táchica (VEN), in the last moment of the first phase, received special affection.

"Hard? I have two difficult ones. Speaking personally, as a goalkeeper, there's the one against Táchira, and one against Central Córdoba in the first half, a shot from inside the area. A very strong shot too, which was very difficult," began Rossi, in an interview with the Libertadores channels.

— I also think about the save in the first half against Racing (in Argentina), Conechny's header, which was also a very difficult save. The most crucial in the Libertadores was the one against Táchira, which keeps us alive for the round of 16 —, added the red-black goalkeeper.

DO YOU REMEMBER ROSSI'S THREE SAVES?

The most important, in Rossi's view, was crucial for Flamengo's qualification for the round of 16 in the Libertadores. The Rubro-Negro was leading 1-0 until a Táchira forward faced the Argentine one-on-one, who performed a miracle. If the goal had been scored, Mengo would have been prematurely eliminated.

Earlier, in the fourth round, Rossi deflected a powerful close-range shot against Central Córdoba (ARG), securing an important away draw for Flamengo. Also in Argentina, in the semifinal, Conechny headed face-to-face with the goalkeeper, who saved the team.

WHAT'S NEXT, RIGHT, NATION?

Now, the Flamengo fans hope that Rossi won't need to make great saves in the Libertadores final on November 29 against Palmeiras. Before that, however, the goalkeeper's focus is on redeeming himself in the Brasileirão. Thus, the first attempt will be this Saturday (22) against Bragantino, at Maracanã, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time).
