Rossi on Flamengo’s solid defence: “It’s more than the media says” | OneFootball

Agustín Rossi has been a key player for Filipe Luís’ Flamengo

Flamengo has been dominant in most matches, with a prolific attack and a solid defense, which is among the best of the season. Thus, goalkeeper Agustín Rossi highlighted the internal work and mentioned the training sessions with Fabinho at Ninho do Urubu to strengthen the position.

— It’s more than what is said in the media. We goalkeepers — myself, Matheus Cunha and Léo Nannetti, who defend Flamengo — we know how important our work is. It may not seem like it during the game, because people focus on one or two goals, but day by day, we train a lot with Fabinho, always trying to fine-tune every detail: reaction, speed, power, all of that — began Agustín Rossi, in an interview this Tuesday (16).

— Obviously, there are many games where people don’t notice as much, but when the team needs us, we’re there to help — whether it’s playing out from the back, in a match, in a cross, in an aerial ball or a shot. We are always prepared because we know we cannot make mistakes. And that’s the hardest part: not being able to make mistakes. It’s something I believe nobody thinks about, but it’s very important for us as goalkeepers — he concluded.

HOW IS ROSSI DOING THIS SEASON?

Agustín Rossi has played 45 matches this season for Flamengo, including all competitions. During this period, the goalkeeper has conceded only 23 goals. Thus, the Argentine keeper has an average of 0.5 per match, making him a crucial piece in Filipe Luís’ tactical setup.
