Argentinian gets goosebumps at Flamengo chant, wants Rossi called up | OneFootball

Former Flamengo player Tito Canteros was in Brazil for a showbol match

“The Maraca is ours, the party is about to begin.” When the Flamengo fans sang this song in the stands of the Maracanã between 2014 and 2016, Argentine midfielder Héctor ‘Tito’ Canteros would get chills on the pitch. The player himself revealed this detail on Tuesday (24), after a showbol match between Brazil and Argentina in Rio de Janeiro.

“I always remember when I walked into the Maracanã and the fans sang ‘the Maraca is ours, the party is about to begin.’ It gives you chills,” Canteros told Coluna do Fla. “Any Argentine who comes to Flamengo knows everything is there for things to go well. Whoever plays for Flamengo can play for any team. Flamengo is a huge club and has to fight for everything. It’s win, win, win, as the anthem says,” the midfielder added.

ROSSI FOR THE NATIONAL TEAM?

A fellow countryman of Agustín Rossi, Canteros backed the goalkeeper to be called up to the Argentina national team. However, the 37-year-old midfielder understands that the current world champion already has a settled squad, which makes it harder for the Flamengo player to earn a spot in Lionel Scaloni’s team.

— He should get an opportunity, right? He’s doing well, he’s playing. He has standing. But Argentina is already set, there’s no way in, there’s no room. He deserves it because he plays for Flamengo. Not just any player gets to play for Flamengo. It’s difficult to play for Flamengo —, he concluded.

HOW WAS CANTEROS’ SPELL AT FLAMENGO?

Signed from Vélez Sarsfield (ARG), Canteros joined Flamengo in 2014 and stayed until 2016. During that time, the Argentine made 88 appearances, scoring five goals and providing seven assists. However, the player was unable to win any titles wearing the Sacred Mantle. Currently, Tito, as the defensive midfielder is known, plays for Sacachispas (ARG), in the third division.
