Rossi’s special tribute after Flamengo’s Brasileirão triumph | OneFootball

Flamengo defeats Ceará in the 37th round of the Brasileirão to become national champions

NINE-TIME CHAMPIONS! The goalkeeper, champion of the Brasileirão, stated that without the fans, Flamengo’s title would not have been possible. That’s because Filipe Luís’s squad beat Ceará 1-0 in the 37th round this Wednesday (03) to secure the trophy.

— It was everyone’s effort, this effort from the whole group day in and day out so we could win another title for Flamengo, another title this year. And that’s it, now it’s time to rest a bit, because next Wednesday there’s more — highlighted Rossi, adding:

— And nothing else, congratulations to everyone. To those who filled the airport, the Libertadores, who made Sunday’s celebration on the float, and today’s celebration as well, and that’s it, congratulations to everyone because you made Flamengo what it is and we’re here to win, and we did win — he said.

How did the title match unfold?

Ceará went to Maracanã with a defensive strategy that seemed very solid. However, Flamengo found space with a pass from Carrascal and a goal by Samuel Lino, who slipped the ball between the goalkeeper’s legs to score the winning goal.

With that, the Most Beloved reached 78 points. Second-placed Palmeiras can no longer catch up, even after their win over Atlético-MG. The Rubro-Negro will play out the table in the next and final 38th round.

What is Flamengo’s next serious match?

On Wednesday (10), Flamengo faces Cruz Azul in the quarterfinals of the Intercontinental Cup, the Club World Cup. The match kicks off at 2pm (Brasília time), in Qatar. The Rubro-Negro delegation is expected to travel to the country later this week.
