Rossi opens up about his time at Estudiantes: "I was really..." | OneFootball

What did Rossi say before the Flamengo vs Estudiantes (ARG) match?

Goalkeeper Rossi gave a press conference this Tuesday (16), at CT Ninho do Urubu. In one of his answers, the Flamengo goalkeeper recalled his time at Estudiantes (ARG), who will be Rubro-Negro's opponent on Thursday (18), in the Libertadores.

— Actually, Estudiantes was a gamble. They had two experienced goalkeepers and I was the future prospect. I played little, I was still very young. I had no experience in Serie A, there was a big difference in the pace of the game. I went to Defensa y Justicia (ARG) on loan to fight for a starting spot -, he said, before concluding:

— I managed to become a starter and that’s when my run in Argentina’s Serie A began. I caught Boca’s attention, they trusted me. They tried to get me, but they had to talk to Estudiantes and Chacaritas, who held my rights. Boca Juniors (ARG) bought me and that’s where my story began -, finished Rossi.

HOW WAS ROSSI'S TIME AT ESTUDIANTES?

Rossi had a short stint at Estudiantes, which took place between 2015 and 2016. As part of the under-23 squad, the goalkeeper only managed to play three times for the Argentine club’s senior team.
