Andrew was the starting goalkeeper in Flamengo’s 3-0 win over Cusco (PER) at the Maracanã. After the match, the player commented on Rossi’s situation and made it clear that, just like the Argentine, the entire squad works every day to try to reduce mistakes in matches.
WHAT HAPPENED TO ROSSI AT FLAMENGO?
Rossi has been Flamengo’s starting goalkeeper in recent seasons, but because of a series of mistakes, fans started to get on the No. 1’s back. Amid this situation, the Argentine ended up being an option on the bench for the clash against Cusco.
Coincidence or not, Leonardo Jardim made it clear that the ‘veto’ on Rossi was not related to the mistakes, but rather to a plan created as soon as Flamengo secured qualification for the next stage of the Libertadores. As a result, the Portuguese coach stated that the decision for Andrew to start had been made a few weeks ago.
HOW DID ANDREW PERFORM IN FLAMENGO VS CUSCO IN THE BRASILEIRÃO?
Appearing among the starters, Andrew was not tested that much; however, when he needed to step in, he made a great save. Playing the full 90 minutes, the goalkeeper kept a clean sheet in Mengão’s victory at the Maracanã. In the match, the shot-stopper also made his debut for Leonardo Jardim’s team.
WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?
With Andrew available, Flamengo return to the field this Saturday (30) to face Coritiba in the Brasileirão. In short, the ball starts rolling at 4:00 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. Therefore, as usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media.
