Pundit backs Rossi staying at Flamengo, says replacement hard to find | OneFootball

After a string of mistakes, Rossi’s performances at Flamengo have sparked debate

Agustín Rossi is going through an unstable spell at Flamengo, which has sparked intense debate about whether the goalkeeper should remain the starter. During Wednesday’s (27) edition of the Coluna do Fla Resenha program, commentator Thiago Paiva came to the Argentine’s defense.

According to Paiva, ruling out the Argentine goalkeeper because of a poor run is not ideal, since the player still has room to improve. In addition, the commentator pointed out that the club would face great difficulty finding a replacement of the same level in the current market.

— I think it’s easy for us to write off Rossi. I just don’t think it’s easy to find someone to take his place. Replacing him just because his current form is sh*t, and everyone agrees with that, I don’t know if that’s ideal. I think he has room to improve, and I wouldn’t write him off because of the first awful stretch he’s had with Flamengo” -, he said.

ANDREW STARTING?

After recent mistakes in the defeats to Vitória and Palmeiras, Rossi started the match against Cusco (PER) on the bench. During the post-match press conference, Leonardo commented on the decision. The coach, who also rotated the squad in other positions, explained: “We had already decided that Andrew would play in this match, before the last three games.”

WHO PLAYS AGAINST CORITIBA?

The expectation is that Rossi will return to the starting lineup on Saturday (30) against Coritiba in the 18th round of the Brasileirão. However, the mystery remains until an hour before the match, when Flamengo announces the official lineup.

If Flamengo is on the field, Coluna do Fla guarantees full coverage. The ball starts rolling at 4:00 PM (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in Mengão’s last match before the break for the World Cup.
