Flamengo Depends Only on Itself to Win the Brasileirão Championship for the Ninth Time

Even though they didn't win the Brasileirão title this Tuesday (25), Agustín Rossi saw a positive side to the situation. After the 1-1 draw with Atlético-MG, the Argentine goalkeeper stated that, with this result, the red-black team will not arrive 'relaxed' for the final of the Libertadores.

— The truth is that this can't hinder us, whether we would be champions today [or not]. Saturday's game is completely different, a final we have to play. Who knows, it's good in a way (not having been champions), so we don't relax mentally -, he said, before concluding:

— We are at the end of the year, very tiring as well, a lot of pressure on us. So, that's it: now, as I said, it's time to rest our minds. Think about Saturday's game, think about resting, as we played a great game today to get closer to the title -, concluded Agustín Rossi.

With the draw this Tuesday (25), Flamengo maintained the lead in the Brasileirão, reaching 75 points. On the other hand, Palmeiras was defeated by Grêmio, 3-2, and remains in second place, with 70 points.
