Flamengo lost to Fortaleza 1-0 this Saturday (25), at Arena Castelão, in the 30th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. Rossi thus pointed out the reason for the defeat to the team from Ceará.
— First of all, I think today’s game has nothing to do with the end of the Championship. Tomorrow Palmeiras has to play, they have to win as well. Fortaleza found a counterattack and scored the goal. We had chances, but we didn’t score – he said, before concluding:
— The game is over, we’re playing every three days, I think fatigue took its toll, but that can’t be an excuse. From now on, we have to focus on Wednesday’s game, which will be another final, it depends on us, we won the first game (against Racing) – he said.
With the 1-0 defeat, Flamengo remained in second place in the Campeonato Brasileiro. With 61 points, the Most Beloved is behind Palmeiras, who also have 61 and face Cruzeiro this Sunday (26), in São Paulo.
Flamengo now faces Racing (ARG) on Wednesday (29), in Argentina, in the second leg of the semifinals of the Libertadores. The match is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), with broadcast by Rede Globo on free-to-air TV and GETV on YouTube.
