Rossi hails Flamengo's sacrifice in win over Remo in Brasileirão | OneFootball

What was the Flamengo vs Remo match like?

Flamengo beat Remo this Sunday (06) by 1-0 in the 26th round of the Brasileirão. As a result, goalkeeper Agustín Rossi celebrated the win and highlighted the players’ sacrifice in playing on the Mangueirão pitch. After all, the heavy rain that fell during the match made things difficult for both teams.

— Before the game against Botafogo, we had a free week to adjust small details that can make a difference in the future. We set ourselves the goal of taking all nine points before the Libertadores match, and we did it. Today, before Palmeiras’ game, we took the lead in the league after a long time. That’s what we wanted, what we want — he began.

— And with this rain, we had already suffered here in the Supercopa final last year, but in that final it rained even more. Today at least there was a moment when it stopped, then it started again, but I think the most important thing was the team’s sacrifice, the sacrifice of every player who came on, because the pitch is heavy and with water it gets even worse. Congratulations to the team for the win, because it’s always very important to win away from home — Rossi concluded to ‘GE TV’.
