Rossi hits back at Argentine media, reveals Flamengo fans’ demands | OneFootball

Rossi gave an interview to ESPN Argentina right after qualifying for the Libertadores final

Flamengo eliminated Racing (ARG) last Wednesday (29) and secured a spot in the final of the Copa Libertadores, where they will face Palmeiras. After the match, goalkeeper Agustín Rossi commented on the pressure of playing for Mengão and made comparisons with Argentine teams.

— It's experienced in the same way. When big teams get used to winning, the fans will always demand it. Sometimes it happens, for example, with us here. For Flamengo, this is the fourth Libertadores final in seven years: 2019, 2021, 2022, and now. When the club gets used to this level, it rubs off on the fans — said Agustín Rossi in an interview with ‘ESPN Argentina’.

— The fans then demand more, obviously. You win a game 5 or 6 to 0 and, in the next match, you win 1 to 0, it seems like everything is a disaster. Because, naturally, they got used to something that's not normal. But it's a matter of staying calm in those moments. We know about the pressure. Flamengo, just like the other big clubs in Brazil, is expected to win the Brasileirão, the Copa do Brasil, you have to win something — he concluded.
