Would Rossi take penalties for Flamengo v Botafogo Filipe Luís answers | OneFootball

Even with Rossi being decisive in penalty shootouts, Andrew would remain in the match against Botafogo

In case of a draw, the match between Flamengo and Botafogo would be decided by penalties. Up until the 38th minute, the quarterfinal classic of the Carioca was tied 1-1, but Pulgar prevented the duel from ending in a penalty shootout. Even with Rossi, a specialist in shootouts, on the bench, coach Filipe Luís assured that he would not substitute Andrew in the final minutes if the match ended in a draw.

— Andrew is a great goalkeeper, and every goalkeeper needs continuity and rhythm. Practically every goalkeeper I've met in my career feels better with consecutive games. (Would you make the change if it went to penalties?) No, Andrew would stay in goal — guaranteed Filipe Luís in a press conference.

Rossi has saved ten penalties wearing the Flamengo shirt, out of 26 attempts. In fact, last Tuesday (10), the Argentine saved a penalty from Renato Kayzer, of Vitória, securing Mengão's victory in Salvador, in the third round of the Brasileirão.

HOW IS FLAMENGO WITH ANDREW?

Not heavily tested against Botafogo, Andrew faced his second classic for Flamengo. The goalkeeper made his debut in the defeat to Fluminense. Then, this Sunday (15), he helped secure a 2-1 victory over Botafogo. In addition, the keeper started in the match that ended in a 7-1 thrashing of Sampaio Corrêa, in the Carioca.

ANDREW OR ROSSI FOR THE RECOPA?

In the last three rounds of the Carioca, Andrew was chosen to play. However, on Thursday (19), Agustín Rossi is expected to return to goal. That's because the Most Beloved will take the field for the Recopa Sudamericana, against Lanús (ARG), away from home. Coluna do Fla will, of course, bring all the information about the match.
