Rossi’s message to Flamengo fans after Recopa loss to Lanús | OneFootball

Rossi commented on Flamengo's next steps this season

The Flamengo was defeated again by Lanús (ARG), but this time by 3-2, last Thursday (26). As a result, Mengo ended up as the runner-up in the Recopa Sudamericana. After the match, goalkeeper Rossi commented on the result and projected the continuation of the season.

— What can I say to the fans? Obviously, they are upset. They wanted to celebrate, and we wanted that too. In the first game, we were below par; we managed to improve here. We conceded a goal in the first half, but we managed to turn it around and take it to extra time. In the final play, a ball in the area and a distraction: the guy headed it alone — began Agustín Rossi.

— I can't say much. We have to keep working and improving because there's still a lot left in the year. Everyone will be very upset. The president, the fans... But those who respond on the field are the players, not even Filipe. It's about keeping a cool head — concluded the Flamengo goalkeeper.

HOW WAS THE DECISION?

The Flamengo lost 1-0 to Lanús in the first leg, in Argentina, with a goal by Rodrigo Castillo. However, with more than 60,000 fans present at Maracanã last Thursday (26), Mengo disappointed again. The opponents won 3-2 and took the trophy.

AND NOW, FLAMENGO?

Now, Flamengo has little time to lament the defeat and the runner-up finish in the Recopa Sudamericana. This is because the team led by Filipe Luís takes the field next Monday (02), against Madureira, for the semifinal of the Campeonato Carioca.

As usual, Coluna do Fla brings all the information about the second leg of the semifinal of the Campeonato Carioca, which starts at 9 PM (Brasília time). Finally, SporTV, on the closed channel, and Premiere, via pay-per-view, will broadcast the match.
