New Flamengo Goalkeeper, Andrew Made His Debut This Sunday (25)

Andrew made his debut for Flamengo this Sunday (25), in the defeat against Fluminense, but managed to make some important saves, leaving a positive impression. After the game, the goalkeeper revealed that a conversation with Rossi, the starting goalkeeper, helped him handle the pressure of the match.

— Yes, yes, we talked a lot today, but since I arrived, he is a very experienced goalkeeper, who deserves all the credit. And he has been helping me with adaptation, the game plan, and the factors we know would not make it an easy game. It's a classic, it's always a very open game. And we kept talking to have more calmness in the game, to play a calm and safe game, and that's what happened -, he said, in response to a report by Coluna do Fla.

DID HE PRAISE FILIPE LUÍS'S SCHEME?

Additionally, Andrew commented on his debut for Flamengo, highlighting the learning experience the match provided and the improvement he expects to have in future games. Finally, the goalkeeper also praised Filipe Luís's tactical scheme.

— It's a debut that brings a lot of learning. In the next game, the nerves won't be as intense because it won't be a debut anymore. And in a general assessment, I was able to contribute to the team, keep us in the game for most of the time. And I was close to them at all times and kept them focused on the match -, he stated.

— Very good, very good. Filipe Luís's tactical scheme enables us to have many passing options, which makes our game easier. We have to keep it simple, do it well, and help the team -, he concluded.

DID ANDREW WORK HARD IN THE FLA-FLU?

In total, Andrew made four saves during the Fla-Flu. At the beginning of the match, even Léo Ortiz attempted a chest pass back to the number 42, but the ball stopped in a puddle along the way. The goalkeeper had to come out to contest with the Fluminense attacker, making his first good save with the Sacred Mantle.

Despite this, the new red-black goalkeeper conceded two goals. Now, Andrew will continue to seek new opportunities, competing for the spot with his mentor, Agustín Rossi.
