Rossi celebrates title, urges Flamengo to move on this season | OneFootball

Rossi commented on the subject upon arriving at the Carioca Championship event

Flamengo became the champion of the Carioca Championship last Sunday (08), after defeating Fluminense on penalties by 5 to 4. As a result, Agustín Rossi is expected to be named the best goalkeeper of the state tournament at an award ceremony this Monday (09). Upon arriving at the event, the Argentine celebrated the victory and stated that the club now needs to turn the page.

— I am very happy for the title we won in the Carioca Championship. This is the third time I am here (at the state tournament’s best awards) to celebrate another title with Flamengo. I am very happy for everyone. We had a start below expectations, but what matters is the ending — began Agustín Rossi, upon arriving at the award ceremony for the best of the Carioca Championship.

WHAT’S THE CONTEXT?

Flamengo started the Carioca Championship with the under-20 squad, when they lost two matches and drew another. The main group only debuted in the fourth round, when they beat Vasco 1-0, still under the command of Filipe Luís.

Thus, Flamengo, which was virtually out of the second phase, managed to win matches, relied on important results, and advanced. In this way, the red-and-black team eliminated Botafogo and Madureira before defeating Fluminense in the final by 5 to 4 on penalties.
